Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The micturition is the process of accumulation of formed urine in the urinary bladder and evacuation of the same from the bladder time to time. Urine is prevented from flowing back into the ureters, because the terminal part of each ureter passes obliquely through the bladder wall and is consequently closed eo to compression by the contracting bladder muscles. When enough urine has accumulated in the bladder to distend to bladder and raise its pressure sufficiently, a spontaneous nervous activity (reflex) is initiated, the causes the smooth muscles on the bladder wall contract and the urethral sphincters, which guard the urethra, to relax. urine consequently flows from the blader through the urethra to the exterior.
