골반내(骨盤內) 제종장기(諸種臟器)의 교감신경지배(交感神經支配) 및 그 작용(作用) 기서(機序)에 관(關)하여 - 아드레날린성(性) 작용(作用) 및 콜린성작용(性作用)을 중심(中心)으로 -

It has been described that the pelvic and adjoining viscera are innervated by sympathetic fibers from the hypogastric nerve. However, the mode of action of the hypogastric nerve fibers on the organs is not fully understood. The present paper reviewed the results of investigations on the mode of action of the hypogastric nerve with an emphasis of the experimental results obtained by the author and author's associates. The evidences clarified that the hypogastric fibers to the distal colon are cholinergic, whereas the fibers to the uterus, seminal vesicle, seminal duct and urinary bladder are adrenergic.
