Resumen

Spinal cord transection depressed the bladder's contractile response to pelvic nerve stimulation. This depression was prevented by prior hypogastric nerve section or guanethidine treatment, but was not reversed by the same treatments used after spinal transection. Thus the depression has a peripheral sympathetic basis but is not dependent on ongoing sympathetic nerve activity. Since responses to intra-arterial acetylcholine and dimethylphenylpiperazinium were unchanged by spinal transection, the depression of the pelvic nerve response probably occurs at a ganglion site.
