Therefore, whenever a ddNTP is added to a growing DNA strand, it is unable to chemically bind with the next nucleotide in the chain, and the DNA strand stops growing. Figure 3: By adding together information about all of the truncated strands, researchers can determine the nucleotide sequence of the DNA target.
Functions of the Bladder. Temporary store of urine â The bladder is a hollow organ. The walls are very distensible, with a folded internal lining (known as rugae), this allows it to hold up to 600ml. Assists in the expulsion of urine â During voiding, the musculature of the bladder contracts, and the sphincters relax.
Detrusor muscle. The detrusor muscle is a layer of the urinary bladder wall made of smooth muscle fibers arranged in spiral, longitudinal, and circular bundles. When the bladder is stretched, this signals the parasympathetic nervous system to contract the detrusor muscle. This encourages the bladder to expel urine through the urethra.
