The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination.[2] The internal sphincter, formed by the involuntary smooth muscles lining the bladder neck and urethra, receives its nerve supply by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.[3] The internal sphincter is present both in males and females.[4][5][6]
