What happens to the nerve ending when bladder walls stretch?
When the bladder is full, the nerve endings in the bladder become stretched and send signals to the central nervous system. This leads to the sensation of having to urinate. If the bladder is not emptied, the nerve endings can be stretched for a long period of time, which can cause them to become damaged. This can lead to incontinence, which is the loss of bladder control.
