Urination , also known as micturition , voiding , peeing , weeing , pissing , and more rarely, emiction , is the ejection of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. In healthy humans the process of urination is under voluntary control. In infants , elderly individuals and those with neurological injury, urination may occur as an involuntary reflex . In other animals , in addition to expelling waste material, urination can mark territory or express submissiveness . Physiologically, micturition involves coordination between the central , autonomic , and somatic nervous systems . Brain centers that regulate urination include the pontine micturition center , periaqueductal gray , and the cerebral cortex . In males urine is ejected through the penis , and in females through the urethral opening.
