Question

Patients suffering from complications in this process may be recommended to have a tension-free “PV sling” inserted into themselves. The rostral pons (“PAWNZ”) houses a collection of neuronal bodies involved in the supra·spinal regulation of this process known as Barrington’s nucleus or the PMC. (-5[1])Parasympathetic sensory neurons (15[1])originating from the sacral spinal cord control this process’s guarding and voiding reflexes. In its most common application, Foley (*) catheters aid individuals with this process. This process is conducted involuntarily during incontinence. (10[2])During this process, detrusor (“duh-troo-sur”) muscle contraction is followed by the opening of the urethral (“yuh-REE-thrawl”) sphincters. This process’s frequency can be increased by drugs known as diuretics. For 10 points, name this process of discharging liquid out of the bladder. ■END■

ANSWER: micturition (“MICK-chuh-RIH-shun”) [or urination; accept voiding until “voiding” is read; accept pontine micturition center; accept descriptions indicating the emptying of urine out of the bladder; accept colloquial synonyms like peeing or pissing; prompt on excretion]
