The absence or lack of normal tone or strength.

The class of neurotransmitters that includes dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. When given therapeutically, catecholamines mimic the effects of stimulating the sympathetic nervous system.

The smooth muscle of the urinary bladder that is mainly responsible for emptying the bladder during urination.

The absence of detrusor contractions.

A glycoprotein hormone secreted mainly by the kidney; it acts on stem cells of the bone marrow to stimulate red blood cell production.

Persistently high blood pressure.

The state characterized by an increased tonicity or tension.

Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood.

Peripheral neurons whose cell bodies lie in the central gray columns of the spinal cord and whose terminations lie in skeletal muscle. A sufficient number of lesions of lower motor neurons cause muscles supplied by the nerve to atrophy.

The study of the urinary or renal system.

The basic functional unit of the kidney.

Excessive thirst manifested by increased water consumption.

A sufficient number of lesions of upper motor neurons interrupt the inhibitory effect that upper motor neurons have on lower motor neurons, resulting in exaggerated or hyperactive reflexes.

Abnormally high concentrations of urea, creatinine, and other nitrogenous end products of protein and amino acid metabolism in the blood.

Lack of voluntary control over the normal excretion of urine.

Urinary Tract Infection

Infection of the urinary tract. Infection may be localized or may affect the entire urinary tract.
