Abstract
most frequent origin are not similarly innervated. The area up to approximately the mid-transverse colon is ’wired’ to a large extent by the parasympathetic vagus nerve, of cranial origin. The more distal regions of the colon derive parasympathetic innervation from the spinal nervi erigentes (from sacral segments 2-4), whose branches may reach as far proximally as the distal transverse colon (Cannon’s point), (Sleisenger, 1981). The differing roles of smoking in these conditions might be based on different reactions of these two systems
