Panelist discusses how the neuroanatomy of bladder function involves a sophisticated interplay between autonomic and somatic nervous systems. The bladder is controlled by parasympathetic nerves (S2-S4) for detrusor contraction, sympathetic nerves (T11-L2) for sphincter control, and somatic nerves for voluntary control via the pudendal nerve. This complex coordination enables both automatic storage and voluntary voiding through reciprocal innervation.
