Uterovaginal plexus (nerves)
The
Uterovaginal plexus
is a
division
of the
inferior hypogastric plexus
. In
older
texts
, it is referred to as two
structures
, the "vaginal plexus" and "uterine plexus".
The
Vaginal
Plexus
arises from the
lower
part of the
pelvic plexus
. It is distributed to the
walls
of the
vagina
, to the
erectile tissue
of the
vestibule
, and to the
cavernous nerves
of the
clitoris
. The
nerves
composing
this plexus
contain
, like the vesical, a large
proportion
of
spinal
nerve fibers
.
The
Uterine
Plexus
accompanies the
uterine artery
to the side of the
uterus
, between the layers of the
broad ligament
; it communicates with the
ovarian plexus
.
