What will happen if the stretch receptors of the urinary bladder wall are totally removed?

  1. A
    Micturition will continue
  2. B
    Urine will continue to collect normally in the bladder
  3. C
    There will be no micturition
  4. D
    Urine will not collect in the bladder

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Micturition (urination) is a reflex process triggered by the stretching of the bladder wall as it fills with urine. This stretch activates stretch receptors, which send signals to the . If these receptors are removed, the signal to initiate the micturition reflex is lost, and thus no micturition will occur.
