This page covers biological details of component Ureter. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Target -> Human Effectors (aHumanEffectors) -> Ureter (TARGET.TEA.URETER) (see Mind Maps)
Type: effector
Quality: L0
Brain area: Effector Area (TEA)
Area circuit: TARGET.TEA.URETER Circuit (TARGET.TEA.URETER.CIRCUIT)
Role: targeteffector
Function: Extract urine from blood in kidney and propel urine to urinary bladder and to outside

Components

(generated)

Component items:

Ureter sensory data (ureter-sensory-data)
- Ureter - ureter visceral receptors (ureter-visceral-receptors -> LPC.PN.SG.LDRG): respond to stretch and free nerve endings in the bladder mucosa that respond to pain and temperature
Ureter autonomic (ureter-autonomic)
- Ureter - detrusor urinae muscle, parasympathetic (LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> detrusor-urinae-muscle-parasympathetic): parasympathetic contracts, to urinate
- Ureter - internal sphincter muscle of urethra, parasympathetic (LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG -> internal-urethral-sphincter-parasympathetic): parasympathetic relaxes the muscle
- Ureter - detrusor urinae muscle, sympathetic (LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> detrusor-urinae-muscle-sympathetic): sympathetic relaxes, to store urine
- Ureter - internal sphincter muscle of urethra, sympathetic (LAC.PN.SYM.IMG -> internal-urethral-sphincter-sympathetic): sympathetic contracts the muscle
Ureter conscious (ureter-conscious)
- Ureter - external sphincter muscle of female urethra (LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> external-urethral-sphincter-female): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
- Ureter - external sphincter muscle of male urethra (LPC.SC.VH.ONF -> external-urethral-sphincter-male): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
