You'll love that micturition is not equal to urination.

One is the act of expelling fluids from the body, the other is the complete whoa to go system of fluid capture, pipelined filtering, storage, treating, and feedback system for expulsion along with the pipe discharge.

Throwing a ball about with urinary tract types and listening to them argue back and forth.

To clarify, micturition is very much just the process of voiding, the wave-like contractions of the detrusor muscle and the relaxation of the internal and external sphincters, and the signals that trigger that process.

The study of micturition, how far back you might chase to fully grasp what's up when voiding has issues, gets a bit more expansive.

It's a stretch to look as far back as the kidneys, sure - but you likely know how compulsives get when they're getting deep in the wees.
