ABSTRACT

Ergonomics is concerned primarily with developing work environments that are compatible with human physiological processes. Anthropometrics compiles anatomical measurements for different age groups and populations, thus providing an objective basis for determining the size of spaces and equipment. Anatomical differences between the male and female result in certain aspects of the urination process being different for each of the sexes. Urination, or micturition, is the process of excreting from the body the waste fluids produced by the kidneys. The kidney is a highly discriminating organ which processes the body's supply of blood. Although the process of toilet training with respect to urination does not appear to be as complex and fraught with psychological overtones as defecation, it does, nevertheless, demand a similar period of training and requires a similar degree of neuromuscular differentiation and control.
