Pelvic splanchnic nerves

Index Pelvic splanchnic nerves

Pelvic splanchnic nerves or nervi erigentes are splanchnic nerves that arise from sacral spinal nerves S2, S3, S4 to provide parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut. [1]

Cervix

The cervix or cervix uteri (neck of the uterus) is the lower part of the uterus in the human female reproductive system.

Erection

An erection (clinically: penile erection or penile tumescence) is a physiological phenomenon in which the penis becomes firm, engorged, and enlarged.

Futurama

Futurama is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Hindgut

The hindgut (or epigaster) is the posterior (caudal) part of the alimentary canal.

Inferior hypogastric plexus

The inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic plexus in some texts) is a plexus of nerves that supplies the viscera of the pelvic cavity.

Internal urethral sphincter

The internal urethral sphincter is a urethral sphincter muscle which constricts the internal urethral orifice.

Parasites Lost

"Parasites Lost" is the second episode in season three of Futurama.

Parasympathetic nervous system

The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (a division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS)), the other being the sympathetic nervous system.

Pelvis

The pelvis (plural pelves or pelvises) is either the lower part of the trunk of the human body between the abdomen and the thighs (sometimes also called pelvic region of the trunk) or the skeleton embedded in it (sometimes also called bony pelvis, or pelvic skeleton).

Philip J. Fry

Philip J. Fry, commonly known simply by his surname Fry, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the animated sitcom Futurama.

Preganglionic nerve fibers

In the autonomic nervous system, fibers from the CNS to the ganglion are known as preganglionic fibers.

Rectum

The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals, and the gut in others.

Sacral spinal nerve 2

The sacral spinal nerve 2 (S2) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment.

Sacral spinal nerve 3

The sacral spinal nerve 3 (S3) is a spinal nerve of the sacral segment.

Sacral splanchnic nerves

Sacral splanchnic nerves are splanchnic nerves that connect the inferior hypogastric plexus to the sympathetic trunk in the pelvis.

Sex

Organisms of many species are specialized into male and female varieties, each known as a sex. Sexual reproduction involves the combining and mixing of genetic traits: specialized cells known as gametes combine to form offspring that inherit traits from each parent.

Sex organ

A sex organ (or reproductive organ) is any part of an animal's body that is involved in sexual reproduction.

Spinal nerve

A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.

New!!: Pelvic splanchnic nerves and Spinal nerve · See more »

Splanchnic nerves

The splanchnic nerves are paired visceral nerves (nerves that contribute to the innervation of the internal organs), carrying fibers of the autonomic nervous system (visceral efferent fibers) as well as sensory fibers from the organs (visceral afferent fibers).

Sympathetic trunk

The sympathetic trunks (sympathetic chain, gangliated cord) are a paired bundle of nerve fibers that run from the base of the skull to the coccyx.

Transverse colon

The transverse colon is the longest and most movable part of the colon.

Urinary bladder

The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ in humans and some other animals that collects and stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination.

Vagus nerve

The vagus nerve, historically cited as the pneumogastric nerve, is the tenth cranial nerve or CN X, and interfaces with parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.

Ventral ramus of spinal nerve

The ventral ramus (pl. rami) (Latin for branch) is the anterior division of a spinal nerve.
