This was inevitable, since the cystometer registers the summation of changes in intravesical pressure resulting from detrusor contraction, without disclosing how such changes are brought about. Observation of the bladder during micturition under the fluoroscope, however, makes it quite clear that this concept is not entirely correct.There are two functional units of the bladder that, by their synergism under normal circumstances, comprise the total detrusor function. These two units, which consist of the bladder base and of the dome, . . .
