32. Jim was standing at a urinal in a public restroom and a long line was behind him. He became anxious (a response of the sympathetic - "involuntary" - nervous system) and found he could not urinate no matter how hard he tried. Use logic to deduce Jim's problem. a) his internal urethral sphincter was constricted and would not relax b) his external urethral sphincter was constricted and would not relax c) his detrusor muscle was contracting too hard d) he almost certainly had a burst bladder.
