title: [The neurophysiology of micturition (author's transl)].
abstract: The ortho and parasympathetic nervous system as well as the somatic nervous system make up the innervation of the lower urinary tract. This constitutes the autonomic nervous system of these organs. There are control centres in the cortex, the sub-cortex and the medullary areas of the brain as well as this peripheral innervation. Together they make possible by their various connections a variety of regulatory circuits and a series of reflexes for micturition which bring about a complex assembly coming from the cortex to the sphincter mechanism of the bladder.
