Sacral Plexus

Sacral plexus This term refers to the most important nerve formation in the human body. This organ is a plexus of peripheral nerves and cells in the sacral part of the nervous system. The node is covered with connective tissue and is connected to the skin and internal organs. Nerves emerge from it and form a network throughout the pelvis and perineum. All these nodes are located together and are interconnected by layers and partitions. Their work is very important for normal human life. Without this organ, we would have no sensation in almost the entire body, and motor ability would be limited. Functions The nerves of this plexus control many important functions of our body: Motor neurons work in the hip joints, spine, muscles surrounding the hips, including the pubococcygeus complex. Some of the muscles have a motor function in the perineal area. In rare cases, these muscles support urination and defecation. This plexus has another important function - the innervation of the posterior openings of the anus. They give us the opportunity to empty the bladder and empty the rectum. This simple action is only possible thanks to the work of the sacral nerves. In their connective tissue structure, they are intertwined with powerful collagen fibers, especially in the area of ​​the septum. This pretty much makes it impossible to get hurt. If the destruction of the paving causes these nerves to become more dilated, we will have to completely abandon normal functions. Most often, damage occurs due to surgery, traumatic exposure, and certain diseases. Many cases of this disorder may result in the need for permanent surgical treatment.
