  • stabbing
56
Q

what is colicky pain?

A
  • it comes and goes
57
Q

how do postsynaptic sympathetic nerve fibres get to the gut?

A
  • ## enter CNS but dont synapse until prevertebral gangia (2nd ones)
58
Q

why is the adrenal gland unique?

A
  • sympa nerve fibres leave the spinal cord, enter abdominopelvic shplanchnic nerves
  • dont synapse at prevertebral ganglia
  • are carried with periarterial plexus to the adrenal gland
  • synapse directly onto cells
59
Q

how does the CNX vagus nerve para sympathetic nerves get to the abdominal organs?

A
  • they enter the abdomunak cavity surface of the oesophagus
  • travel into the periarterial plexuses around the abdominal aorta
