37
Q

innervation of suprarenal glands

A
  • pass through paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia without synapsing
  • synapse directly on secretory cells of medulla
  • release NE
38
Q

what is the embryo origin of medulla and postsynaptic neurons

A

neural crest cells

39
Q

what does the parasympaethic (craniosacral) NS consist of?

A
  • presynaptic neurons through cranial nerves, and ant roots of s2-s4, and postsynaptic neurons
  • CN 3,7,9,10 and pelvic splanchnic nerves
40
Q

what are the presynaptic fibers of the parasympathetic NS

A

1) cranial nerves (3,7,9,10)

2) ant roots of spinal nerves (S2-S4) (pelvic splanchnics)

41
Q

what are the post synaptic fibers of parasympathetic NS

A

1) trunk (intrinsic/ enteric)

2) head (ciliary, otic, pterygopalatine, submandibular)

42

A
• Constriction of the
pupil
• Accommodation
• Serous secretions from
the lacrimal gland
(tears)
• Serous secretions from
the salivary glands
46
Q

Distribution of Parasympathetic Nervous System

A

– internal organs and glands of head & body cavities
– except for the erectile tissue of the external
genitalia, does NOT go to body wall or limbs.
– except for the initial parts of S2 - S4,
parasympathetics are never components of spinal
nerves or their peripheral branches
