Example sentences for: hypogastric
How can you use “hypogastric” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Nervous innervation of the prostate is believed to be mainly sympathetic [ 2 ] . These nerves descend through the hypogastric nerves and synapse on postganglionic neurons in the pelvic plexus (major pelvic ganglion in the rat) from which the prostate receives direct innervation.
Both hypogastric and pelvic nerves were cut before they entered the major pelvic ganglion and a tie was placed around the urinary meatus to preserve isovolumetric conditions.
The remaining 22% could also receive their innervation from the hypogastric nerve but, in addition, could be cholinergic thus representing a sympathetic-cholinergic pathway that might be related to the production of prostatic fluid [ 2 ] . However there is evidence for cholinergic fibers [ 11 ] and muscarinic receptors on the epithelial tissue surrounding the alveolar lumens [ 12 ] supporting this concept.
