Sympathetic NTs
ACh
Parasympathetic gen overview
Origins: craniosacral (brain S1-S4)
Fibres: long preganglionic, short postganglionic (synapse at diest from spinal cord)
Location of ganglia: in visceral effector organs
Sympathetic div gen overview
origin: thoracolumbar (T1-L2)
Lengh of fibres: short preganglionic, long postganglionic (synapse close to spinal cord)
location of ganglia: close to spinal cord
sympathetic division
- where preganglionic nerons
- make what spinoal cord stuc
preganglionic neurons in T1 to L2
sympathetic neurons produce the spinal cord lateral horms
where do sympathetic division preganglionic fibres pass through
white rami communicantes to enter the sympathetic trunk (paravertebral trunk)
how many sympathetic trunk ganglia
23 sympathetic trunk ganglia in the sympathtic trunk
-
Upon entering a sympathetic trunk ganglion, a preganglionic fiber may do 1 of 3 things:
1) Synapse at the same level
2) Synapse at a higher or lower level
3) Synapse in a distant collateral ganglion anterior to vertebral column
SNS path to head
- emerge
- synapse
emerge from T1 - T4
synapse in superior cervicle ganglion
These fibers:
- Innervate skin & blood vessels of head
- Stimulate dilator muscles of iris
- Inhibit nasal & salivary glands
SNS to thorax
Preganglionic emerge T1-T6
synapse in cervicle trunk ganglia
postganglionic fibres emerge from ganglia and enter C4 to C8 to innervate
+heart (cardiac plexus) lungs (pulmonary plexus)
-thyroid gland
-skin (majority)
`
Preganglionic fibers from T5 to L2 travel through splanchnic nerves to synapse in prevertebral (collateral) ganglia
Contributes to plexus
SNS to abdomen: ciliac ganglion
liver gall bladder stomach spleeen pancreas proximal duodenum
SNS to abdomen: superior mesenteric ganglion
ancreas, distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, ascending colon + transverse colon
SNS to abdomen: inferior mesenteric ganglion
descending colon, sigmoid colon + upper rectum
SNS to pelvis
pathways synapse in sympathetic trunk ganglia
Sacral splanchnic nerves innervate genitalia and bladder
