New Research Has Shown That Urination is Actually Controlled by the ________

Question

New research has shown that urination is actually controlled by the ________.
A)Kidney
B)Bladder
C)Pons
D)Ureters

Accepted Answer

Urination is actually controlled by the pons, a region in the brainstem that sends signals to the bladder muscle instructing it to either contract or relax. The kidneys produce urine, the ureters transport it to the bladder, and the bladder acts as a temporary storage site before the pons signals the bladder muscle to contract and release urine through the urethra. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not directly responsible for controlling urination.
