Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sacral parasympathetic nerves form distinct pelvic nerves that innervate intramural ganglia in the bladder, rectum, and genital organs. They do not join the ventral roots of the spinal nerves or innervate the skin through the abdominal wall. They also do not send fibers directly and independently to the urogenital organs.
