Neural control of the female urethral and anal rhabdosphincters and pelvic floor muscles.

American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology - 1 Aug 2010

Thor Karl B, de Groat William C

Abstract excerpt

The urethral rhabdosphincter and pelvic floor muscles are important in maintenance of urinary continence and in preventing descent of pelvic organs [i.e., pelvic organ prolapse (POP)]. Despite its clinical importance and complexity, a comprehensive review of neural control of the rhabdosphincter and pelvic floor muscles is lacking. The present review places historical and recent basic science findings on neural...
