This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pelvic plexus and its regulation across various mammalian species, including rats, cats, dogs, and pigs. The pelvic and hypogastric nerves play crucial roles in regulating pelvic functions such as micturition, defecation, and erection. The anatomical organization of these nerves varies, forming either well-defined ganglia or complex plexuses. Despite these variations, the neurons within these structures are consistently regulated by key neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and acetylcholine. These neurons also possess receptors for testosterone and prolactin, particularly in rats, indicating the significant role of these hormones in neuronal function and development. Moreover, neuropeptides such as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), substance P, neuropeptide Y (NPY), somatostatin (SOM), galanin (GAL), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are co-released with neurotransmitters to modulate pelvic functions. This review highlights the complex interplay between neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and hormones in regulating pelvic physiology and emphasizes the importance of hormonal regulation in maintaining the functionality and health of the pelvic plexus across different species.
本综述全面分析了包括大鼠、猫、狗和猪在内的各种哺乳动物物种的盆腔神经丛及其调节机制。盆腔神经和腹下神经在调节诸如排尿、排便和勃起等盆腔功能方面发挥着关键作用。这些神经的解剖结构各不相同,形成明确的神经节或复杂的神经丛。尽管存在这些差异,但这些结构内的神经元始终受到关键神经递质去甲肾上腺素和乙酰胆碱的调节。这些神经元还具有睾酮和催乳素的受体,特别是在大鼠中,这表明这些激素在神经元功能和发育中起着重要作用。此外,诸如血管活性肠肽(VIP)、P物质、神经肽Y(NPY)、生长抑素(SOM)、甘丙肽(GAL)和降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)等神经肽与神经递质共同释放,以调节盆腔功能。本综述强调了神经递质、神经肽和激素在调节盆腔生理过程中的复杂相互作用,并强调了激素调节在维持不同物种盆腔神经丛的功能和健康方面的重要性。
