GSE
general somatic efferent - somatic motor
SVE
special visceral efferent - branchiomotor
GVE
general visceral efferent - visceral motor
GSA
general somatic afferent - somatic sensory
GVA
general visceral afferent - visceral sensory
SVA
special visceral afferent - chemiccal sensory
SSA
special somatic afferent - special sensory
what does the general somatic efferent innervate?
voluntary muscles derived from myotomes. includes:
- all striated skeletal muscle supplied by spinal nerves
- muscles that move the eyes
- muscles that move the tongue
what does the special visceral efferent innervate?
voluntary motor innervates muscles derived from embryonic branchial (gill) arches in the head
what cranial nerves exclusively carry special visceral efferents?
V3, VII, IX, X and XI
what do general visceral efferents refer to?
preganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers
what visceral structures do postganglionic ganglia in the periphery innervate?
smooth muscle, glands, and visceromotor organs (basically any effector that is not voluntary skeletal or branchial muscle)
what spinal nerves carry preganglionic sympathetic fibers
T1 - L2
what spinal nerves and cranial nerves carry preganglionic parasympathetic fibers
spinal nerves S2 - S4
cranial nerves III, VII, IX, and X
what do general somatic afferents carry?
sensory signals from the body wall (skin, muscles, joints) with information about:
- concerning pain
- fine touch
- temperature
- proprioceptive signalling
what type of neurons are general somatic afferents?
pseudounipolar
where do general somatic afferents reside?
those that are associated with a spinal nerve reside in the dorsal root ganglion
those that are part of the cranial system reside in the cranial nerve sensory ganglion
can you consciously experience signals from general somatic afferents?
yes but certain cerebellar proprioceptive signals are “nonconscious”
what type of neurons are general visceral afferents
psudounipolar
where do general visceral afferents reside
dorsal root ganglia or cranial nerve sensory ganglia
what do general visceral afferents carry?
generally, carry nonconscious signals from sensors in the viscera
types of visceral pain that can be experienced consciously
inflammation, distension, sustained smooth muscle cramping, and ischemia
what do special visceral afferents carry?
signals originating from chemical sense of smell and taste
what do special somatic afferents carry?
signals originating in specialized somatic sensors, either in retinal photoreceptors or inner ear hair cells
