[Anatomy and physiology of the lower urinary tract].
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction is frequent, due to lesions of the central and/or peripheral somatic and/or autonomic nervous system whose role is to ensure the regulation and control of lower urinary tract function. Due to the presence of both smooth and striated muscle cells in structures of the lower urinary tract, nerve pathways and nerve centres belong to both the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
