Q

How does sympathetic innervation affect heart rate?

A

increases HR

17
Q

How does sympathetic innervation affect the pupils and ciliary muscles?

A

dilate pupils and relax ciliary muscles –> more light enters the eye and far vision

18
Q

How does sympathetic innervation affect the GI tract?

A

divert blood flow away from GI tract, inhibit peristalsis

19
Q

How does sympathetic innervation affect the liver?

A

glucose secreted from liver

20
Q

Which autonomic motor division causes us to sweat?

A

sympathetic

21
Q

At which spinal cord levels and for which organs do sympathetic preganglionic neurons synapse in the sympathetic chain?

A

T1-T5: eye, salivary glands, heart, lung (head to diaphragm/lung

22
Q

At which spinal cord levels and for which organs do sympathetic preganglionic neurons NOT synapse in the sympathetic chain?

A

T5 - L1/L2: liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, spleen, large intestine, small intestine, adrenal medulla, kidney, urinary bladder, scrotum, penis, ovary, uterus

23
Q

What is the path leading to visceral afferents in visceral referred pain?

A

celiac trunk (stomach, liver, etc.) –> prevertebral (celiac) ganglia in abdominal aorta –> white ramus communicans –> dorsal root –> spinal cord –> cerebral cortex

24
Q

What is visceral referred pain? What are some examples?

A
  • pain arises from a visceral organ, but the pain is perceived as arising from somatic structures supplied by those same spinal levels
  • e.g. MI, appendicitis, cholecystitis, menstrual pain
25
Q

Which spinal nerves does the brain identify pain coming from during a heart attack?

A

T1-T5 (chest body wall)

26
Q

Which spinal nerves does the brain identify pain coming from during a stomach ulcer?

A

T7-T9 (epigastric region on body wall)

27
Q

What is somatic referred pain? At what level of the dermatome is the pain detected? Describe how embryological displacement of the diaphragm can lead to somatic referred pain. Where on your body do you feel the pain?

A
  • somatic referred pain is carried by spinal nerves
  • pain is sharp and easily localized
  • C3-C5
  • inflamed liver/gallbladder can rub against misplaced diaphragm –> pain is referred to C3-C5 dermatome
  • feel shoulder pain because C3-C5 innervates both diaphragm and shoulder
