NERVES. The nerves supplying the prostate are very numerousand sensitive. Those derived from the sympathetic systemare supplied by the hypogastric and pelvic plexuses, asillustrated in Fig. IV. A double chain of sympathetic fibers, as illustrated byFig. IV, connect with the mesenteric, renal and solarplexuses, bringing the bowels, kidneys and stomach ANATOMY OF THE PROSTATE. 17. Pig. IV.

A large number of spinal filaments, arising mostly fromthe sacral plexus, though some from the lumbar spinalnerves, are distributed to the prostate and adjacent organs,and communicate freely with the sympathetic. Fibersof the latter may be noted by reference to Fig. IV, aspassing to the great sciatic (cr) nerve, before it makesits exit through the sacro-sciatic foramen upon the hips.
