Figure 3 Involvement of parasympathetic nerves in the fecal expulsion through the distal colon.
A, B: Effects of rectal nerve transection (RNT) (A) and vagotomy (Vag) (B) on the rate of bead evacuation from the distal colon during 2-h water avoidance stress (WAS). The increased rate of bead evacuation in sham-operated rats was inhibited in RNT-rats. Each value represents the mean ± SE (n = 11-15 per group). aP < 0.05 vs sham stress rats.
