Anatomy & Regional Flashcards
Vasopressin and ACTH, TrH secreted from … nucleus
Paraventricular
Thermoregulation, Thirst, GnRH, and non REM regulated/secreted through … nucleus
Preoptic area
SA node and bronchial tree have predominantly PSNS or SNS tone?
PSNS
Innervation of sweat gland (short preganglionic neuron releases … and postganglionic sympathetic neuron release … and act on … receptors
Both ACh and act on muscurinic
All other postganglionic sympathetic releases NE with exception of adrenal medulla releases Epi and NE
Autonomic neurotransmitters
ACh
all preganglionic PSNS and SNS
all postganglionic PSNS
Postganglionic SYMPATHETIC sweat glands
Postganglionic sympathetic on skeletal blood vessels
Autonomic neurotransmitters
NE and Epi
Only Epi
NE and Epi -> Postganglionic adrenal medulla
All other POSTganglionic not to adrenal and not PSNS pulse the 2 postganglionic SNS to sweat glands and skeletal blood vessels (which both stimulated by ACh)
SNS nerve supply to the UE originated from … and synapses into … ganglion. Postganglionic fibers supply …. and their function …
T1 to T4/5 (sympathetic in general originates T1 - L2/3)
Synapses into sup, middle, and inf cervical ganglion
Postganglionic supply H&N, UE, heart and lung
Function; vasmotor, pilmotor, secretory, and pupillary dilatation.
PSNS originated from
Craniosacral
Cranial 3,7,9,10
S2-4
Causes of Atlanta-axial instability
RA
Achondroplasia
Down syndrome
Anesthetic consideration in ankylosing spondylitis
Airway( cervical immobility and instability, TMJ stiffness)
Systemic; restrictive lung, aortic insufficiency, uveitis, vasculitis
Neuroaxial; osseous ligments, reduces intervertebral space
Nerve supply to tongue
Ant 2/3 Trigeminal (sensory) Facial (Taste)
Post 1/3 sensory and taste by IX
Nerve supply to epiglottis
IX -> sup surface
Sup laryngeal N -> inf surface
Sensory innervation of larynx
Above vocal -> sup laryngeal N
Below vocals -> recurrent laryngeal
Motor innervation of larynx
Recurrent laryngeal supplies all except cricothyroid which supplied by sup laryngeal N (function is tensor of vocal cord)
To block sup laryngeal N, inject into
Post Cornu of hyoid bone
To block Recurrent laryngeal N, inject into
Transtracheal
To block IX N, inject into
Tonillar fossa
Recurrent laryngeal N injury causes
Hoarseness if unilateral
Airway obstruction if b/l
Sup laryngeal N injury causes
Change in voice (cricothyroid which is a tensor of vocal cord loses its function)
To prevent gag reflex, block … N and for cough, block …. N
IX for gag
Sup and recurrent laryngeal N for cough
Location of recurrent laryngeal N in neck
Btw trachea and esophagus, medial to carotid sheath
Location of vagus nerve in neck
Within crayons sheath, btw internal jugular and carotid A
Relation of sympathetic chain to carotid sheath
Posterior to the sheath
Relation of phrenic to carotid sheath
Lateral to the sheath
