35
Q

Filling defect suggests:

36
Q

Hydronephrosis

A

Water in the kidney due to backpressure

Painful stretching of capsule and enlargement

37
Q

5 types of nerve fibre

A 
Somatic sensory
Visceral afferent
Somatic motor
Parasympathetic
Sympathetic
38
Q

Where do sympathetic fibres leave the CNS?

A

Spinal nerves between T1-L2 (thoracolumbar outflow)

39
Q

How do sympathetic fibres reach glands of body wall?

A

In spinal nerves

40
Q

How do sympathetic fibres reach glands within body?

A

Splanchnic nerves (cardiopulmonary or abdominopelvic)

41
Q

How do sympathetic fibres reach glands in the head?

42
Q

What type of nerve fibres do spinal nerves contain?

A

Somatic motor, sensory, sympathetic

43
Q

How do sympathetic fibres get to kidneys, ureters and bladder?

A

Leave spinal cord at T10-L2
Enter symp chain but do not synapse
Leave chain in abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves
Synapse in ganglia around aorta and follow periarterial plexus

44
Q

How do parasympathetic fibres leave the CNS?

A

III, VII, IX, X and sacrospinal nerves

45
Q

What do parasympathetic fibres innervate?

A

Organs (NOT body wall)

46
Q

How do para fibres reach glands of head?

47
Q

How do para fibres reach the hindgut and pelvic organs?

A

Pelvic splanchnic nerves

48
Q

Are para fibres carried in spinal nerves?

A

Only for short distance in sacral spinal nerves

49
Q

How do para fibres get to kidneys, ureters and bladder?

A

Kidneys and ureter: CN X

Bladder: pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-4)

50
Q

Somatic motor supply to renal system

A

Perineum - urethra, ext anal sphincter, levator ani

S2-4

51
Q

Innervation of detrusor

A

Pelvic splanchnic nerves (para) S2-4

52
Q

Nerves to internal urethral sphincter

A 
Symp = contraction
Para = relaxation
53
Q

Nerves to external anal sphincter

A

Pudendal nerve S2-4

54
Q

Nerves to levator ani

55
Q

How do visceral afferents from kidneys and ureters get to CNS?

A

Enter symp fibres T11-L2

Dermatomal pain

56
Q

How do visceral afferents from bladder get to CNS?

A

Part touching peritoneum: enter symp fibres T11-L2 = suprapubic
Rest of bladder: para fibres enter spinal cord S2-4

57
Q

How do visceral afferents from urethra get to CNS?

A 
Proximal urethra (above levator ani): para fibres enter spinal cord S2-4 = suprapubic
Distal urethra: pudendal nerve S2-4 = localised
58
Q

How do pain fibres get from testes to CNS?

A

Symp back to spinal cord T10-11 = suprpubic

Localised body wall L1

59
Q
