38
Q

Oculosympathetic pathway: 1st order neuron

A

First order (central) neuron descends caudally from the hypothalamus to the first synapse in the cervical spinal cord (C8-T2 level-also called the ciliospinal center of Budge).

39
Q

Oculosympathetic pathway: 2nd order neuron

A

second order (preganglionic) neuron destined for the head and neck exits the spinal cord and travels in the cervical sympathetic chain through the brachial plexus, over the pulmonary apex and synapses in the superior cervical ganglion. The superior cervical ganglion is located near the angle of the mandible and bifurcation of the common carotid artery.

40
Q

Oculosympathetic pathway: 3rd order neuron

A 
third order (postganglionic) neuron for the orbit enters the cranium within the adventitia of the internal carotid artery into the cavernous sinus.
-exit the internal carotid artery in close proximity to the trigeminal ganglion and the 6 CN and join the 1st division of the trigeminal nerve to enter the orbit. The fibers (long ciliary nerve) innervate the dilator muscles of the iris and the Müller’s muscle in the upper and lower lid.
