Abstract
Recordings were made from pelvic, hypogastric, and uterine nerves of the nonpregnant cat during electrical stimulation, manual compression, and inflation of the uterus and vagina. Unit recording showed that most but not all afferents from the uterus and vagina travel in the hypogastric, where they may constitute about 5% of the afferent fibers. Receptors were both restricted field and wide field, and although readily excited by manual compression they were less readily excited by increased intrauterine pressure.
