Editing Bladder (section)

=== Nerve supply ===
The bladder receives both sensory and motor supply from [[sympathetic nervous system|sympathetic]] and the [[parasympathetic nervous system]]s.<ref name="Grays2016" /> The motor supply from both sympathetic fibers, most of which arise from the [[superior hypogastric plexus|superior]] and [[inferior hypogastric plexus]]es and nerves, and from parasympathetic fibers, which come from the [[pelvic splanchnic nerves]].<ref name="Moore227">{{cite book|last= Moore|first= Keith|title= Essential Clinical Anatomy, Third Edition|year= 2007|publisher= Lippincott Williams & Wilkins|isbn= 978-0-7817-6274-8|pages= 227–228|author2= Anne Agur }}</ref>

Sensation from the bladder, relating to distension or to irritation (such as by infection or a stone) is transmitted primarily through the parasympathetic nervous system.<ref name="Grays2016" /> These travel via [[sacral nerves]] to [[sacral nerve roots|S2-4]].<ref name=Ganong2019 /> From here, sensation travels to the [[human brain|brain]] via the [[dorsal columns]] in the [[spinal cord]].<ref name=Grays2016 />
