As far as I can tell, the Prostatic Plexus and the Pelvic Splanchnic Nerves relay the "'sensory "'function as well as increased heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, etc . and the Pundendal Nerve relays the "'motor "'function ( enabling ejaculation ).
32.
These include the use of intravenous albumin infusion, medications ( for which the best evidence is for analogues of vasopressin, which causes splanchnic vasoconstriction ), radiological shunts to decrease pressure in the portal vein, dialysis, and a specialized albumin-bound membrane dialysis system termed molecular adsorbents recirculation system ( MARS ) or liver dialysis.
33.
Many vasoactive chemicals have been hypothesized as being involved in mediating the systemic hemodynamic changes, including atrial natriuretic factor, prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, and endotoxin . and octreotide ) leads to improvement in glomerular filtration rate ( which is a quantitative measure of kidney function ) in patients with hepatorenal syndrome, providing further evidence that splanchnic vasodilation is a key feature of its pathogenesis.
34.
Here four options are available to the fibres : ( 1 ) they can run up the chain and synapse, ( 2 ) they can synapse at the level of entry, ( 3 ) they can pass straight through and synapse elsewhere-such as in the case of T5-12 ( the splanchnic nerves ), or ( 4 ) they can enter the chain and descend to synapse.
35.
It is also called the "'portal venous system "', although it is not the only example of a portal venous system, and "'splanchnic veins "', which is " not " synonymous with " hepatic portal system " and is imprecise ( as it means " visceral veins " and not necessarily the " veins of the abdominal viscera " ).
