The current state of the issue of the peripheral innervation of the movements of the colon

The large intestine, like all other organs of plant life, receives nerves of two kinds, belonging to the sympathetic and autonomic nervous systems. The first includes item n. hypogastrici with n. n. mesenterici inferiores, to the second n. n. erigentes (Eckhard) or Langley'io pelvici. The sympathetic nerves of the intestine depart from the nerve node — g. meseutericum inferius, located on the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta at the point of departure of the lower mesenteric artery; n. erigens usually (in dogs) originates from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sacral nerves and, before reaching the large intestine, enters the nerve plexus located on the sides of the pelvic floor - plexus hypogastricus, into which it enters and also takes part in its formation a pair of sympathetic nerves - n. n. hypogastrici.
