Text Appearing Before Image:

Text Appearing After Image:
Figure i. The vesico-motor nerves of the cat, on the right side, showing: A, the sym- pathetic chain, B, the rami to C, the inferior mesenteric ganglion, D, the hypogastric, and E, the accessory hypogastric nerve, F, the nervus erigens, G, the hypogastric plexus, H, the terminal nerves, J, the vesical plexus on the surface of the bladder, and K, the urethra. It has been found impossible to demonstrate the presence in the sympathetic chain of vesico-motor fibres other than those carried in the paths described, that is, through the hypogastric nerves. Such fibres have been described by Gianuzzi*^ (p. 23), and Nussbaum^^; while Sokownin,-^ and Nawrocki and Skabitchewsky ^^ (p. 340, and Exp. Ill, p. 343 ) have failed to demonstrate their presence. Langley and Anderson'*'^ (p. 'jG) have obtained positive results in certain cases onl)-. Though in some cases nerves which correspond to those de- scribed by Langley and Anderson (op. cit.) have been seen, they could not be proved to carry fibres having any control over move- ments of the bladder. Section of the hypogastric nerves left only the sacral paths open, and subsequent section of the sacral spinal nerves destroyed all possibility of producing bladder contractions by stimulating the cord. This was shown several times also incidentally in experiments undertaken for other purposes.
