Abdominal Nerves Flashcards
Paravertebral plexus consists of both:
Parasympathetic and Sympathetic fibers
Four Paravertebral ganglia in posterior abdominal wall:
- Celiac Ganglion
- Superior mesenteric ganglion
- Inferior Mesenteric ganglion
- Aorticorenal ganglion
Gray rami communicantes carry
postganglionic sympathetic fibers from L1-L5
Sympathetic . and parasympathetic fibers innervate:
Digestive system
Urinary system
Reproductive system
Pelvic splanchnic nerves only carries:
parasympathetic fibers
Vagus does not innervate:
Colons; stops at splenic flexure
Pelvic splanchnic nerves innervates (S2-S4):
Colon
Parasympathetic Innervation of the Abdomen:
Vagus nerve—to splenic flexure
Sympathetic Innervation of the Abdomen:
Thoracic splanchnic (greater, lesser, least)
Lumbar splanchnic nerves
Greater Splanchnic nerve (T5-T9) innervates:
structures of celiac ganglion
Inferior mesenteric and superior hypogastric plexus are only:
Sympathetic
Umbilical region ( part of SMA ganglion) is innervated by:
T9-T10 of lesser splanchnic nerves
The kidneys referred pain comes from
T12—least splanchnic
Inferior Mesenteric ganglion is
innervated by L1and L2
Lumbar plexus formed by what rami?
T12-L4
Lumbar plexus is visceral or somatic?
Somatic

Where things travel from pelvic cavity to gluteal region and perineum?
Lesser sciatic foramen
Another name for hip bone is:
os coxae
3 bones of the os coxae are:
ilium
ischium
pubis
Greater and lesser sciatic notches become?
Greater and lesser sciatic foramen
Beginning of true pelvis is known as what line?
The arcuate line—part of pelvic brim
Where does the sacrum articulate to the os coxae?
auricular surface
