The process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in the urinary bladder smooth muscle tissue involved in the expulsion urine from the body. The elimination by an organism of the waste products that arise as a result of metabolic activity. These products include water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogenous compounds. A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. The process of communication from a neuron to a smooth muscle in the bladder that contributes to the expulsion of urine from the body. A process whereby the extent of smooth muscle contraction is reduced in the bladder outlet that contributes to the expulsion of urine from the body. The controlled release of a substance by a cell, a group of cells, or a tissue. The regulation of body fluids process by which parasympathetic nerves stimulate the bladder wall muscle to contract and expel urine from the body. A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the renal system. The renal system is responsible for fluid volume regulation and detoxification in an organism.
