URODYNAMIC PHYSIOLOGY:A PERSPECTIVE

Author(s): ABHAY KUMAR PANDEY

Filling  and  emptying  of  the  urinary  bladder  is  finely  regulated  through  rich  innervation  of urinarytract.The  multilevel  neural  control  of micturition  involves  autonomicneurotransmitters andspecialized urothelialphysiology.Keen understanding of urodynamic physiology is essential to understandand properly manage the functional urinary tract disorders.Theprimacyof the role of afferent C fibers, as well as TRPV1 receptors in effecting storage and voiding of urine,is  suggested in contemporary research,both in healthy  individuals and  patients  .   The article  attemptsabriefreview oftheneurophysiologyof  lower urinary  tract  function with an emphasis  on  the  role of  C  fibers    and TRPV1 receptors
