There are rather meager indications in the literature about the relation of the splanchnic nerves to the urinary bladder. Zeissl recognizes the existence of motor fibers in these nerves, since he was able to cause bladder contractions by stimulating the large abdominal nerves. Which way these fibers reach the bladder is left unclear by the author; he could only make sure that after the two-sided cutting of n. n. hypogastrici and erigentes, that is, after cutting all the motor nerves of the bladder, irritation of the splanchnic nerves ceased to have an effect.

The endocrine glands play an enormous role in the life of the organism in general and in its neuropsychic activity in particular. The glands are in a certain interaction with each other (chemical correlation), their secrets mutually reinforce each other or neutralize; thus, the loss of one of these organs (resp. secrets) from the system or a change in their activity leads, in addition to the loss of a function specific to this organ, to a certain change in the entire system. The clinic gives us a whole series of examples confirming the propositions worked out by physiology.
