Q

How does the sympathetic nerve impulse get from the major splanchnic nerve to the abdominal viscera?

Q

How does the sympathetic nerve impulse travel from lumbar sympathetic nerves to abdominal viscera?

A

pre-ganglionic neuron travels through lumbar sympathetic nerve to the lumbar sympathetic trunk and then can travel down the trunk either cranially or caudally to synapse at the ganglia nearest to the target organ and then continue to the target organ along a post ganglionic fiber

Q

where does the celiacomesenteric ganglia and plexus get its parasympathetic fibers from?

A

dorsal vagal trunk
DOES NOT SYNAPSE HERE BECAUSE GANGLIA FOR PARASYMPATHETIC ARE ON THE TARGET ORGAN, so it just becomes part of the mix of the plexus and follows the arteries to the target organ
