Diuretics-
Vasopressin Thirst Arteriolar
From post pituitary in hypothalamus block Na+
Vasoconstriction
(blood vessels) absorption
More
More H2O reabsorption Fluid intake
so more
by kidney tubules water loss
in urine
For practice this in class activity
Micturition
Urine stored (1ml/min) in urinary bladder is eliminated
by micturition
Micturition reflex (studied in NS-1)

• Collection & filling of urine in bladder stimulates stretch
receptors for conscious desire of voiding urine.
• Activated stretch receptors signal bladder wall smooth
muscles & sphincter muscles through parasympathetic
neurons from spinal cord micturition center.
• Contraction of bladder pushes urine out of the body
• Relaxation of external urethral sphincter muscles
allowing urine to pass through urethra and out of the
body
• Under voluntary control but cannot be delayed
indefinitely
