Urinary System Physiology

Urine retention can be caused by a variety of factors, including contraction of the sphincters in the urinary system.
The sphincters are muscles that control the flow of urine from the bladder. When they contract, they prevent urine from leaving the bladder, leading to retention.
Relaxation of the external urethral sphincter is also likely to contribute to urine retention.
Decreasing HCL secretion affects the digestive system, particularly the stomach, impacting the breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients.

Cardiovascular Medications

Bisoprolol and Atenolol are both beta-blockers, medications used to treat various cardiovascular conditions.
One of their clinical uses is the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Atenolol is preferred over Bisoprolol when treating patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as Bisoprolol can worsen these conditions.
Bisoprolol and Atenolol can both be used to treat heart failure.
Anti-anxiety is not a clinical use for either Bisoprolol or Atenolol.
Atenolol is a selective beta-blocker, meaning it primarily affects the beta-1 receptors located mainly in the heart.

Uterine Physiology

The uterus undergoes changes during certain physiological conditions, such as pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the uterus expands to accommodate the growing fetus.
