8 Flashcards
what is the sympathetic action in the head
pupil dilation
blushing
reduction in salivation
where are pregnglionic sympathetic visceral motor neurones
intermedialateral part of the grey mater.
in the thing that looks like a deer.
it goes from preganag to white Ramus to postgang to smooth and muscle and such.
are pregnglionic sympathetic visceral motor neurones VENTRLA OR DORSLA
VENRTAL
whats a sympathetic chain made up of
25 ganglia and the sympathetic trunk
where does the sympathetic chain run from to
cervical spinal cord to L2
what two key characteristics are shown by sympathetic trunk
convergence: many diff pregang can synapse in one single postgang
divergence: different pregang will synapse at diff vertebrae levels
whats special about the rostral apart of the sympathetic chain
3 cervical ganglia are not connected to cervical spinal cord but rather to thoracic spinal cord from T1 down.
they are called the superior cervivalg ganglion, middle and inferior.
they innervate face to make blushing, NO mucus secretions and pupil dilation
where do superior middle and inferior preganglionic neurones arise form
thoracic spinal cord from T1 down.
in tear so of number of neurones involved whats the difference between ANS and SNS
somatic has 1 to neuromuscular junction
ANS has two pregang and posting
whats the structure of pregang and postgang
myelinated with A and B axons
post gang have unmelinated with type C axons.
think of a shirt you wear 3/4
how do sympathetic postganglionic neurones act on muscles
release adrenaline to alpha 1 receptor .
how does sympathetic innervation below the diaphragm occur
via
celiac plexus to liver stomach start of SI
inferior mesenteric plexus rest of gut
hypogastric plexus to bladder and reproductive organs
whats the greater splanchnic nerve
its the preganglionic neurone to the celiac plexus
whats the lesser splanchnic nerve
its the preganglionic neurone to the inferior mesenteric plexus
T10
whats the sacral splanchnic nerve
its the preganglionic neurone to the hypogastricplexus
L3
