The urethral pressure (UP) was recorded as a response to penile stimulation (brushing, extension, and occlusion) and during the UGR; the electromyographic activity of the Pcm was simultaneously evaluated. The role of the Pcm was assessed by measuring urethral pressure variables before and after denervation of this muscle.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Pcm is innervated by the caudal branch of the somatomotor branch of the pelvic nerve. The electrically induced contraction of the Pcm increased the UP. The mechanical stimulation of the urethra during the induced micturition caused the reflex activity of the Pcm. The different penile stimuli caused bursts of activity of the Pcm. During the UGR, the Pcm exhibited a tonic activity. The transection of the caudal branch of the Smb reduced the maximal UP during the penile stimulation. The same was true regarding the duration of the UGR, the pressure that triggers the UGR, and the highest pressure observed during the UGR.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that the activation of the Pcm is relevant for the UGR in male rats. <jats:italic>Neurourol.
