Anatomy Review BLOCK 2 Flashcards
Presynaptic fibers
White
Post synaptic fibers
Grey
Fiber between the brain and the ganglion
- white
- myelinated
- fast
Fibers after synapsing
- grey
- slower
- lacking myelin
Suprarenal gland medulla
-acts as a ganglion
Do all 4 pathways have grey fibers?
Yes but they don;t all go though gray rami, the 4th pathway synapses on organ
Synapse in celiac ganglion
Organ
Synapse in sympathetic chain
Dermatome
Purpose of inguinal canal
Transport vessels deep to superficial
What are the only things that lie superficial to the inguinal canal?
The spermaticords and the round ligament of the uterus
How does venous blood drain the body superficially?
Below umbilical region
-drains toward femoral/saphenous vein
Above umbilical
-lateral thoracic, axillary
Parasympathetic nerves of the aortic plexus
- sacral
- vagal
- visceral afferent
Macula densa
- senses water, monitors it
- tells brain, brain responds
Relationship between abdominal muscles and sheaths and able linea
- aponeuroses toward midline of body
- changes as you move down midline
- just know its different in different places
What are all of the retroperitoneal structures?
S-suprarenal glands
A-abdominal aorta
D- duodenum
P-pancreas U-ureters C- Colon (ascending and descending) K-kidneys E-esophagus R-rectum
