This cell monitors urethral contents by detecting chemical stimuli, such as bitter compounds and sugars. Upon activation, it stimulates sensory nerve fibres and triggers detrusor muscle contraction, likely aiding in pathogen clearance by promoting bladder emptying. positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction involved in micturition epithelium of urethra
