Q

Where do preganglionic sympathetic fibers go?

A
  • synapse in sympathetic chain at same level
  • ascend or descend in sympathetic chain/trunk prior to synapsing at another level
  • pass through sympathetic chain and synapse at prevertebral ganglia (like celiac, superior mesenteric, etc)

  2. cardiac plexus via cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves
17
Q

upper thoracic ganglia receives preganglionic sympathetic fibers from what vertebral levels & where do they synapse?

A

T1-T5 (lateral horn)

synapse in thoracic paravertebral ganglia at same level

18
Q

upper thoracic ganglia postganglionic sympathetic fibers go where?

A

leave sympathetic chain and contribute to cardiac & pulmonary plexuses via cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves and spinal nerves T1-T5

19
Q

mid-lower thoracic and lumber ganglia preganglionic sympathetic fibers synapse where?

A
  • in thoracic paravertebral ganglia at same level
  • through sympathetic chain w/o synapsing to prevertebral ganglia
20
Q

mid-lower thoracic and lumber ganglia postganglionic sympathetic fibers go where?

A

leave sympathetic chain and contribute to spinal nerves

21
Q

mid-lower thoracic and lumber ganglia preganglionic sympathetic fibers form what nerves if passing through sympathetic chain w/o synapsing?

A
  • abdominopelvic/splanchnic
    • greater splanchnic (T5-T9)
    • lesser splanchnic (T10-T11)
    • least splanchnic (T12)
    • lumbar splanchnic (L1-L2/3)
22
Q

prevertebral ganglia (which abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves travel to) include?

A
  • celiac
  • aorticorenal
  • superior mesenteric
  • inferor mesenteric
23
Q

abdominopelvic splanchnic nerve postganglionic sympathetic fibers go to (4)?

A

organs

celiac to foregut

superior mesenteric to midgut

aorticorenal to kidney

24
Q

Horner syndrome

A
  • results from interruption in cervical sympathetic chain
  • causes absence of sympathetically stimulated functions on ipsilateral side of head
    • pupil constriction
    • ptosis (drooping upper eyelid)
    • redness of skin
    • anhydrosis (no sweating)
