Innervation of Female Reproductive Organs: Schema Anatomy
Sympathetic trunk and ganglion, Gray ramus communicans, White ramus
communicans, Greater thoracic splanchnic nerve, Lesser thoracic splanchnic
nerve, Least thoracic splanchnic nerve, Sympathetic trunk, Lumbar splanchnic
nerves, L3 spinal nerve (anterior ramus), Ovarian artery and plexus, Uterine
(fallopian) tube, Celiac ganglia and plexus, Aorticorenal ganglia,
Superior
mesenteric ganglion, Intermesenteric (abdominal aortic) plexus, Inferior
mesenteric ganglion, Superior hypogastric plexus, Hypogastric nerves, Uterovaginal
and inferior hypogastric (pelvic) plexuses, Inferior extent of peritoneum, Pelvic
splanchnic nerves, Sacral plexus, Pudendal nerve Uter.
Note: Pain from intraperitoneal pelvic viscera (e.g., uterus) goes via
uterovaginal and pelvic plexuses, hypogastric nerves, superior hypogastric
plexus, lower aortic plexus, lower lumbar splanchnic nerves, sympathetic trunk
from L4 to L5 to spinal nerves T11, 12. Pain from subperitoneal pelvic viscera
(e.g., cervix and upper vagina) goes via pelvic splanchnic nerves to S2, 3, 4.
Afferent fibers from lower vagina and perineum go via pudendal nerves to S2, 3,
4.
