How can you use “micturition” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of clozapine administered centrally at two different sites, spinal (L6-S1 spinal segments) vs. supraspinal (lateral ventricle), on micturition and the external urethral sphincter during cystometry in the anesthetized rat.
Olanzapine and to a lesser extent risperidone, altered several micturition parameters and they inhibited the external urethral sphincter in the anesthetized rat.
The following parameters were examined from the cystometrogram as described in detail earlier [ 7 ] : bladder capacity (amount of fluid infused to elicit a contraction); micturition volume (amount of fluid expelled); residual volume ([bladder capacity - micturition volume]/ [bladder capacity]); pressure threshold (pressure at which contraction begins); peak pressure (maximal pressure during contraction); contraction time; expulsion time (time between peak pressure and end of high frequency oscillations); amplitude of high frequency oscillations.
In anesthetized rats, doxazosin (alpha 1 adrenergic receptor antagonist) administered systemically, increased micturition volume, bladder capacity, residual volume and micturition frequency while decreasing peak pressure [ 36 ] . Only an increase in the micturition frequency was observed after spinal administration of doxazosin [ 37 ] . Both olanzapine and risperidone have moderate affinity for the alpha 1 adrenergic receptor (Table 1), therefore it is possible that some of the effects observed in the present study were due to central and/or peripheral antagonism of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors by these drugs.
Volume expelled was determined by placing cotton gauze at the urinary meatus and weighing before and after micturition.
