act collects then eliminates urine, this seemingly simply task requires the complex integration of neural and muscular components at multiple levels.

Information provided by these studies should lead to a better understanding of the complete urinary tract and dysfunctions, such as interstitial cystitis. The studies also focus on the role of purines and other putative neurotransmitters in the lower urinary tract.
