This page covers biological details of component Onuf's Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Spinal Cord -> Anterior/Ventral Horn (SC.VH) -> Lamina IX (SC.VH.L9) -> Onuf's Nucleus (LPC.SC.VH.ONF) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Lower Brain - Peripheral Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: Maintenance of urination and defecation, muscular contraction during orgasm
• Notes to function: From Barrington's Nucleus
