Thought for the day :

Never mind what others do

Do better than youself

Physiology of micturition

Detrusor muscle of bladder recieves inhibitory signals by sympathetic hypogastric nerve (not in humans) and  excitatory from parasympathetic pelvic nerves .

Pudendal nerve supplies external urethral sphincter

Sympathetic supply from L1 - L2 region of spinal cord

Parasympathetic and pudendal nerve arise fron S2, S3, S4 segments of spinal cord.

Control from higher centres includes pons storage centre and pons micturition centre which recieves signals also from cerebral cortex.

Diuretics

5 classes of diuretics

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

Loop diuretics

Thiazide diuretics

Potassium sparing diuretics

Osmotic diuretics

Remember water is absorbed secondary to reabsorption of solute.

Obligatory reabsorption of water occurs in proximal tubule

Facultative (when required) occurs when ADH is present.
