What will happen if the stretch receptors of the urinary bladder wall are totally removed?

Correct answer: C. There will be no micturition

  • A. Micturition will continue
  • B. Urine will continue to collect normally in the bladder
  • C. There will be no micturition
  • D. Urine will not collect in the bladder

Explanation

Sensory stretch receptors are responsible for the stretch reflex. If these are removed then autonomic nervous system control will not be there and micturition will not continue. Micturition is the expulsion of urine from the urinary bladder.

About Homeostasis

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
