This means nervous system control of the bladder has been lost as a result of the injury. This loss of nervous system control, in turn, means that, while the bladder fills with urine, the message that the bladder is full cannot reach the brain. This message is blocked at the level of injury, and you are no longer able to feel the urge to urinate. webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Sun, 04 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.thescizone.com/info/articles/411/1/THE-NORMAL-URINARY-TRACT-AND-URINATION/Page-1.html    Normal urination, or voiding, occurred when the bladder was filled with urine, the nerves in the bladder were stimulated, and a message was sent along the nerves, through the spinal cord, to the brain that told you your bladder was "full." When the message was received by your brain, you felt the sensation of fullness and realized you needed to urinate. webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Sun, 04 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0400
