Detailed Solution

Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

The micturition reflex is the process by which the urinary bladder empties itself of urine. 

While stretch receptors do play a role in the micturition reflex, they are located in the walls of the urinary bladder, not the ureters. When the bladder fills with urine, stretch receptors in the bladder wall detect the increased pressure and send signals to the central nervous system (CNS). These signals trigger a reflex arc that leads to the relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter and contraction of the detrusor muscle, facilitating urination. This is micturition reflex.
