There are many organs that sit in the pelvis including much of the urinary system and lots of the male or female reproductive systems.

Pelvic nerves anatomy. From there they contribute to the innervation of the pelvic and genital organs. It carries sensory information sensation from the external genitalia and the skin around the anus and perineum. The perineal nerve innervates muscles of the perineum and pelvic floor.

The skin tissues and organs in the pelvis are supplied by the vasculature of the pelvis and innervated by many nerves of the pelvis including the pudendal nerve. The pelvic venous system is responsible for taking blood from the pelvic walls and viscera back to the main circulation.

The pelvic plexus lies within the fascia that covers this part of the pelvic wall and floor. These nerves are a continuation of the lumbar sympathetic trunks. Ventral primary rami of spinal nerves s2 s4 sacral plexus inferior rectal n perineal n dorsal n.

The autonomic nerve plexuses of the pelvis prostatic rectal and vesical in the male. The pelvic ligaments are not classic ligaments but are thickenings of retroperitoneal fascia and consist primarily of blood and lymphatic vessels nerves and fatty connective tissue. They travel to their sides corresponding inferior hypogastric plexus located bilaterally on the walls of the rectum.

A small part of the pelvic plexus has been partially dissected out here. All these nerves sympathetic and parasympathetic are connected to a diffuse and extensive plexus of autonomic nerves called the pelvic plexus. This nerve sits in front of the sacral promontory.

The parasympathetic nerves in the pelvis are the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Veins lymphatics and nerves of the pelvis. Anatomists call the retroperitoneal fascia subserous fascia whereas surgeons refer to this fascial layer as endopelvic fascia.

These plexuses are formed when the right. The pudendal nerve is the main nerve that serves the perineum which is the area between the anus and the genitalia the scrotum in men and the vulva in women. Levator ani muscles including the iliococcygeus pubococcygeus and puborectalis.

Like the arterial analogues the external iliac vein primarily drains the lower limbs while the internal iliac vein drains the pelvic viscera walls gluteal region and perineum. The pelvic splanchnic nerves arise from the anterior rami of the sacral spinal nerves s2 s4 and enter the sacral plexus.
