The trigone of the bladder accommodates the orifices of the ureters and the urethra. The nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. Trauma to the trigone portion of the bladder may or may not cause detrusor muscle spasms. Damage to the bladder will not cause the kidney to lose the ability to concentrate urine.
