Pelvic Nerves
Pelvic nerves are a group of nerves located in the pelvic region that play a crucial role in transmitting signals between the brain and the lower body. They are responsible for controlling various functions, including bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and sensation in the pelvic area. These nerves originate from the spinal cord and branch out to innervate the organs and muscles in the pelvis.
The main pelvic nerves include the pudendal nerve, which is essential for sensation and motor control in the genital area, and the pelvic splanchnic nerves, which help regulate the autonomic functions of the bladder and intestines. Proper functioning of these nerves is vital for maintaining pelvic health and overall well-being.
