Example sentences for: sphincter
How can you use “sphincter” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Blockade of the external urethral sphincter in anesthetized rats results in a disappearance of the HFO from the bladder pressure recording as well as a disappearance of the bursting pattern of the EUS EMG observed during HFO [ 26 27 28 ] . In addition, there is a decreased ability of the bladder to empty as evidenced by a decreased micturition volume and an increased residual volume [ 26 27 29 ] . Therefore, inhibition of the external urethral sphincter, as was the case for the two neuroleptics in the present study and also for clozapine in our earlier study [ 7 ] , might provide an important mechanism by which the bladder is rendered less effective in emptying and therefore altering other urodynamic variables resulting in decreased micturition volume and increased residual volume in rats.
Effects of olanzapine and risperidone on urodynamic parameters and the external sphincter EMG
EUS = external urethral sphincter
In the anesthetized rat, the external urethral sphincter contracts and relaxes during the expulsion phase in a manner that is complimentary to the high frequency oscillations observed in the bladder pressure record [ 19 ] whereas in humans the external sphincter not active during voiding.
Pharmacological blockade of the external urethral sphincter in the rat resulted in decreased micturition volume and increased residual volume [ 20 21 22 23 ] suggesting that the activity of the external urethral sphincter contributes to efficient voiding in the rat.
