On the question of the peripheral innervation of the rectum

The innervation of the rectum generally occupied quite a few researchers. In our historical part, we will not deal in detail with the issue of cerebrospinal innervation recti and its obturator apparatus. The interested reader will find a detailed historical overview of this issue in the work of L. ѵ. Francl-Hoclwartf and Alfred-Frhlichʹа - "lieber Tonus und Jnnervation der Spliincteren des Anus", submitted by them in the laboratory of prof. Basha in Vienna.
