Physiological Anatomy of Urinary Bladder…
Urinary bladder is a hollow organ, having :
BODY – formed by detrusor muscle responsible for
emptying of bladder.
NECK - has trigone in its posterior aspect.
Emptying of bladder is mainly guarded by sphincters :
INTERNAL SPHINCTER – completely involuntary. ( smooth
muscle) supplied by sympathetic & parasympathetic nerve
fibres.
Sympathetic supply : L1, L2 ( Hypogastric nerve)
Parasympathetic supply : S2,S3,S4 ( pelvic nerve)
EXTERNAL SPHINCTER- voluntary. ( skeletal muscle)
supplied by somatic nerve fibres. ( Pudendal nerve).
Pelvic nerve has sensory fibers, which carry impulse from the
stretch receptors present on the wall of urinary bladder.
9. Objectives
1)Recognize the psychological effect of
NE on the child and family.
2)Know the difference between 1ry &
2dry NE.
3)Understand how to use a good
history to guide ttt. For NE.
4)Know the different lines of ttt. and
what is the first-line therapy.
