Q

How will organs of the abdominal-pelvic cavity receive postganglionic sympathetic axons

A

pre-aortic ganglia

25
Q

How do viscero-somatic reflexes occur

A

GVA returns the pain information from the organ back to the spinal cord, can cause somatic changes leading to reflex and somatic dysfunction at the same level

golgi tendon organs

32
Q

What is function of GVE and GVA

A

sympathetic axons innervate smooth muscle in blood vessels

33
Q

What types of nerve fibers do cutaneous branches contain

A

GSA

GVE/GVA

34
Q

What is the function of GSA in cutaneous nerves

A

give rise to sensory receptors in the skin

35
Q

What is the function of GVE and GVA in cutaneous nerves
