00:01
So that is the autonomic nerves
of the abdominal pelvic region.
00:05
Let's just summarize
by having a look
at the various different effects
the sympathetic and
parasympathetic will have.
00:12
So the sympathetic nervous system
will inhibit peristalsis
constrict blood vessels
within the abdomen
and contract internal anal
sphincter for example.
00:22
The parasympathetic is going
to stimulate peristalsis.
00:25
It will promote the
secretion of digestive juices
and help to relax internal
anal sphincter, for example.
00:33
If we were to have a look at
the liver and the gallbladder,
the sympathetic effect
will be to stimulate
the breakdown of
glycogen to glucose.
00:40
Whereas, parasympathetics
will stimulate
the conversion of
glucose to glycogen
increases secretion of bile.
00:48
If we were to look
at the impact on the pancreas,
it would inhibit insulin secretion
with sympathetic in control.
00:55
Whereas, parasympathetic
will stimulate insulin secretion.
00:59
And if we look
at the suprarenal glands,
the sympathetic effect
will be to promote
the sympathetic release
of adrenaline.
01:07
If we look at the kidneys
as part of the urinary system,
sympathetic is going to slow you
in production by vasoconstriction.
01:14
And it will contract the
internal urethral sphincter.
01:17
Parasympathetic is going to contract
the detrusor muscle of the bladder
and inhibit contraction
of the internal urethral sphincter
allowing you into pass out
of the bladder.
01:27
For the genital system,
the sympathetic is going to induce
ejaculation and remission of
engagement due to vasoconstriction.
01:34
And that is where
the parasympathetic
is going to produce engorgement
of that erectile tissue.
01:41
So there's a lot to do with
the autonomic nervous system,
and the various complexity
that we have
within the abdomen
and the pelvic region.
01:49
The final aspect we're going
to talk about is referred pain.
