摘要
To investigate the function of the bladder‐urethra as a continuous unit we set up an in vitro whole bladder‐urethra model (rabbit). We were able to measure the intravesical pressure at which saline infused into the bladder emptied via the urethra (“opening pressure”). Methoxamine added to the bath caused a significant increase in opening pressure, whereas phentolamine caused a significant decrease in opening pressure compared to controls. Atropine had no effect on opening pressure in the absence or presence of methoxamine. Thus, it appears that the in vitro bladder‐urethra unit has intrinsic alpha‐adrenergic tone that is of sufficient force to maintain an intravesical pressure of 7.0 cm H2O, and that this tone is not influenced by antagonism with the anticholinergic agent atropine.
