Smooth muscle keeps urine inside the bladder and involuntary reflexes expel urine from the bladder.

Both the detrusor muscle and internal Sphincter is composed of smooth muscle. The detrusor muscle remains relax to allow the bladder to store urine. The internal sphincter remains contracted which help to keep urine from leaking.

The bladder (detrusor muscle & internal sphincter) is supplied by autonomic nervous system (sympathetic & parasympathetic nerves). When parasympathetic is stimulated, it cause detrusor muscle to contract and internal Sphincter to relax and thus there is expulsion of urine from the bladder. This is a involuntary reflex.

Since external Sphincter is composed of skeletal muscle and is under voluntary control of somatic nervous system so options (b), (d) & (e) are incorrect.

Option (c) is also incorrect since for expulsion of urine a reflex is needed which either contract/relax the smooth muscles to release urine from the bladder.

Thus the correct answer is (a) Smooth muscle, involuntary reflexes.

During the process of turning filtrate into urine, Group of answer choices the proximal tubule and Loop of Henle are responsible for reabsorbing most of the water and Na+. Water is reabsorbed only in the collecting ducts. The Loop of Henle decreases filtrate volume by removing water from the filtrate in the ascending limb.

Q2. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a measure of a patient’s ability to expel air from the lungs. Patients with asthma or other respiratory conditions often have restricted PEF. An investigator conducts a study to investigate whether there is a difference in mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis as compared to those without. Data on PEF are collected and summarized below. Based on the data, is there statistical evidence of a lower mean PEF in children with chronic bronchitis...
