Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urination or micturition removes metabolic products and toxic wastes filtered from the kidneys and is a vital function of the human body. The micturition reflex requires a complex network of signals between the nervous system and the urinary tract system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Micturition, or urination, is the act of emptying the bladder. When the bladder is full of urine, stretch receptors in the bladder wall trigger the micturition reflex. The detrusor muscle that surrounds the bladder contracts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Micturition is the process of eliminating water and electrolytes from the urinary system, commonly known as urinating. It has two discrete phases: the storage/continence phase, when urine is stored in the bladder; and the voiding phase, where urine is released through the urethra.
