A

Later side of vertebral column

17
Q

Prevertebral (preaortic) ganglia lie

A

Anterior to the abdominal aorta

18
Q

What cell bodies reside in the para and prevert ganglia

A

Postganglionic sympathetic cell bodies

19
Q

Successive chain ganglia are interconnected by

A

Short nerves into sympathetic trunks

20
Q

How many chain ganglion?
Which fuse during development

A

One for each spinal nerve
Superior, middle and inferior cervical ganglia

21
Q

How does the prevertebral ganglia differ from the chain

A

-Not paired
-not segmentally arranged
- lie anterior

22
Q

What are the main prevertebral ganglion

A

Celiac, superior mesenteric, aorticorenal, and inferior mesenteric

23
Q

Preganglionic neurons whose cells bodies lie in later horn send their motor axons through?

A

Ventral roots

24
Q

(sympathetic pathways) Where do axons enter

A

Spinal nerve and first part of the ventral ramus

25
Q

(Sympathetic pathways). How does the axon pass into the chain ganglion

A

Running through the white ramus communicanes

26
Q

(Sympathetic pathways). What are the three things preganglionic axon can do once in chain ganglia.

A
  • synapse with postganglionic neurons
  • pass through and run in the splanchnic nerve to synapse in a prevertebral ganglion
  • can ascend or descend in the sympathetic trunk
27
Q

(Parasympathetic visceral efferent).

Preganglionic neurotransmitter? Post- ganglionic ( receptor and neurotransmitter) ? Target receptor?

A

Acetylcholine: nicotinic: acetylcholine: muscarinic

28
Q

(Sympathetic visceral efferent nerve)
Preganglionic neurotransmitter? Post- ganglionic ( receptor and neurotransmitter) ? Target receptor? Target tissue

A

Acetylcholine: nicotinic : norepinephrine: beta 1, alpha 1 beta 3 : heart, smooth muscle / eccrine and apocrine sweat glands, fat

29
Q

What are the two parts of the adrenal gland

A

Medulla: outer part
Cortex: inner part

30
Q

What are the 4 important controls of GVA

A

-heart rate
- blood pressure
- respiration
- digestion

31
Q

What is incontinence

A

Lack or loss of formation of connections to the forebrain control centers

32
Q

(Horners syndrome)

Ipsilateral sympthathetic causes… (3 things)

A
