STUDIES ON INTERFACIAL POTENTIALS AND CURRENTS OF URINE-UREA SYSTEMS ACROSS URINARY-BLADDER MEMBRANE

Interfacial potential of urine-urea mixture across urinary bladder mem branes of goat has been studied by comparing membrane-solution resista nce and current data. It has been found that interfacial potential of urine solution is higher as compared to urea solution and that of urin e-urea system increases with increase in concentration of urea in urin e. Current generated in the system decreases with decrease in concentr ation of urea in the urine. Implications of electro-physiological stud ies in understanding the micturition process are discussed.
