Abstract：
:Surgical microscopy and electrophysiological techniques were used to standardize the nomenclature for the pudendal nerve and sacral plexus according to their somatic axonal composition in the male rat. We conclude that the pudendal nerve is the segment running from the L6-S1 trunk to the sacral plexus, carrying efferent fibers to the coccygeus, internal obturator, ventral and dorsal bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, external anal sphincter, and external urethral sphincter muscles, and afferent fibers from the penis, prepuce, scrotum, and ventral-proximal tail. The sacral plexus is the complex formed by the bridge-like structure connecting the pudendal nerve with the lumbosacral trunk, and two nerve branches emerging from it, one innervating the proximal half of the scrotal skin, and the other innervating the muscles at the base of the penis known as the motor branch. These branches are only considered as a part of the sacral plexus because they integrate axons from both the lumbosacral trunk and pudendal nerve. The gross anatomy of the pudendal nerve and sacral plexus has a main organization that was observed in 70% of cases, whereas the remaining 30% occurred in two variants. This nomenclature is appropriate to describe the pudendal nerve and sacral plexus in studies that involve them being lesioned or electrophysiologically analysed. A main additional finding was that two large afferent branches innervate the scrotum, one the proximal half and the other the distal half. As mentioned above, the proximal branch belongs to the sacral plexus, whereas the distal branch belongs to the pudendal nerve because all its axons travel to the cord via this nerve. Since stimulation or even manipulation of the scrotal branches resulted in the secretion of semen containing spermatozoa, it is suggested that scrotal afferents are involved in some way in the ejaculatory process, a topic that deserves further research.
