Anatomy 3 Flashcards
What are the 3 types of nerve fibre?
somatic sensory; visceral afferent; somatic moto; parasympathetics and sympathetics
What controls ureteric peristalsis and bladder contraction?
sympathetics and parasympathetics
What controls urethral sphincer control?
internal- sympathetic/parasym; external and levator ani-somatic motor
What type of nerve carries pain from the renal system?
mainly visceral afferent; somatic sensory in perineum (urethra)
Where do sympathetic nerve fibres leave the CNS?
in spinal nerves between T1-L2
How do sympathetic fibres reach the body wall?
within the spinal nerve s
How do sympathetics reac hteh body (eccept the wall)?
wihthin nerves called the splanchnic nerves
What are the 2 types of splanchnic nerve?
cardiopulmonary or abdominopevlic
How do sympathetic reach the head and neck?
via plexuses on arteries- ICA and ECA
How many pairs of spinal nerves are ther?
31
What happens to nerves once they leave the spinal cord?
anterior and posterior roots; then become spinal nerves and then travel in anterior and posterior rami
Which ramus do sympathetic nerves travel in?
anterior rami
What levels do sympathetic nerves leave the spinal cord to reach the kidneys; ureter and bladder?
T10 and L2
Where do sympathetic nerves to the kidney, ureters and bladder synapse?
at abdominal sympatheic ganglia- i.e NOT in the sympathetic chain
Once sympathetics hvae synapsed at the abdominal sympathetic ganglia, where do they go?
pass onto the surface of arteries which are heading towards the organs they are goign to innervate- periarterial plexuses
What other nerves take part in the periarterial plexuses?
parasympathetics and visceral afferents
How do parasympathetics leave the CNS?
within 4 cranial nerves and sacral spinal nerve
What cranial nerves do parasympathetics go in?
III, VII, IX and X
Do parasympathetics innervate the body wall?
no
How do parasympathetics reach the hindgut and pelvic orgnas?
pelvic splanchnic nerves
How are parasympathetics which innervate the kidneys and ureter carried?
in the vagus nerve
How are parasympathetics which innerve the bladder carried?
pelvic splanchnic nerves
what sacral spinal nerves do paraysmpathetics leave from?
S2,3,4
Where is pain from the kidney felt?
loin-posterior aspect of the flank region
