Clinical and Functional Anatomy of the Urethral Sphincter [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2012 Continence and micturition involve urethral closure. Especially, insufficient strength of the pelvic floor muscles including the urethral sphincter muscles causes urinary incontinence (UI).

What do we really know about the external urethral sphincter?
ContinenceThe external urethral sphincter (EUS), composed of skeletal muscle, along with a smooth muscle-lined internal urethral sphincter (IUS), have crucial roles in maintaining continence during bladder filling and facilitating urine flow during voiding ...
