** The central axons of the dorsal root ganglia neurons carry the sensory information from the LUT to second-order neurons in the spinal cord. These second-order neurons provide the basis for spinal reflexes and ascending pathways to higher brain regions involved in micturition, continence, and mediation of sensation.
