Popis: The reflex changes of the activity of striated muscles of external sphincter and oblique abdominal muscle were studied in acute experiments on cats. With low filling of the urinary bladder, the activity of external sphincter (contraction) and the inhibition of abdominal muscles activity (relaxation) becomes increased. This promotes the filling of the urinary bladder, i.e., the accomplishment of its function as a reservoir. With greater accumulation of liquid in the urinary bladder, the activity of the external sphincter is inhibited, (it relaxes, and there is a rise of the abdominal muscles' contraction activity), promoting evacuation of the urinary bladder.
