⦛What does the Parasympathetics control?
Peristalsis, relaxation of sphincters of gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, stimulation of glandular activities, urination, erection and defecation.
What does the Sympathetics control?
Control vascular tone, contraction of sphincters of gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, smooth musculature of ducts of male reproductive tract and famel reproductive organs.
What are the 3 components of the Aortic Plexus?
Sympathetic Fibers, Parasympathetic fibers, Autonomic ganglia and visceral afferents.
What is the celiac plexus?
Celiac ganglia, superior mesenteric ganglion and aorticorenal/renal ganglia containing post ganglion sympathetic neurons.
What synapses in the celiac plexus?
Thoracic splanchnic nerves.
where does the parasympathetic fibers of the celiac plexus come from?
Vagues nerve.
What synapses in the multiple small ganglia of the inferior mesenteric plexus?
Lumbar splanchnic nerves.
What level is the Visceral afferents of the Inferior mesenteric plexus originating from?
L1-L2
Where do the parasympathetics of the inferior mesenteric plexus originating from?
Pelvic splanchnic nerves.
Where is the superior hypogastric plexus?
bifurcation of the aorta.
What is in the superior hypogastric plexus?
small sympathetic ganglia from lumbar splanchnics, paraympathetic fibers and visceral afferents from pelvic organs.
What is in the inferior hypogastric plexi?
fibers from or to superior hypogastric plexus, preganglion parasympathetic fibers from pelvic splanchnics distributed to pelvic viscera with internal iliac artery.
What is in the thoracic and lumbar splanchnic nerves?
preganglionic sympathetic and visceral pain afferents.
Where does the greater splanchnic nerve originate from?
T5-T9
Where dooes the greater splanchnic nerve synapse?
Pirmarily celiac ganglia, some fibers go directly to adrenal medulla to synapse to realse catecholamines.
