*Component items*:
  * *Ureter sensory data* (*ureter-sensory-data*)
   * Ureter - ureter visceral receptors (ureter-visceral-receptors -> [BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_LDRG 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*)
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detrusor_urinae_muscle Ureter - detrusor urinae muscle, parasympathetic] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PPG LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG] -> [HumanMusclesTorso detrusor-urinae-muscle-parasympathetic]): parasympathetic contracts, to urinate
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_sphincter_muscle_of_urethra Ureter - internal sphincter muscle of urethra, parasympathetic] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PPG LAC.PN.PSYM.PPG] -> [HumanMusclesTorso internal-urethral-sphincter-parasympathetic]): parasympathetic relaxes the muscle
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detrusor_urinae_muscle Ureter - detrusor urinae muscle, sympathetic] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_SYM_IMG LAC.PN.SYM.IMG] -> [HumanMusclesTorso detrusor-urinae-muscle-sympathetic]): sympathetic relaxes, to store urine
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_sphincter_muscle_of_urethra Ureter - internal sphincter muscle of urethra, sympathetic] ([BrainRegionLAC_PN_SYM_IMG LAC.PN.SYM.IMG] -> [HumanMusclesTorso internal-urethral-sphincter-sympathetic]): sympathetic contracts the muscle
  * *Ureter conscious* (*ureter-conscious*)
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sphincter_muscle_of_female_urethra Ureter - external sphincter muscle of female urethra] ([BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_ONF LPC.SC.VH.ONF] -> [HumanMusclesTorso external-urethral-sphincter-female]): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
   * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sphincter_muscle_of_male_urethra Ureter - external sphincter muscle of male urethra] ([BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_ONF LPC.SC.VH.ONF] -> [HumanMusclesTorso external-urethral-sphincter-male]): control urination, constricts urethra, maintain urinary continence
