Autonomic Innervation Flashcards
what are the three roots of the ciliary ganglion
parasympathetic, sympathetic, sensory
post- ganglion lacrimal gland pathway sympathetic
internal carotid artery plexus –> deep petrosal nerve –> vidian nerve –> pterygiodpalatine ganglion (symp passes through) –> maxillary nerve –> follows zygomatic branch –> communicating branch –> lacrimal nerve
parasympathetic innervation iris sphincter
pupil constriction- 3%
direct acting agonist
cholinergic agonist aka parasympathomimetics
pilocarpine
pupil constriction + acc
ciliary ganglion sympathetic pathway
passes through –> BV of conj + choroid
cav sin –> nasociliary nerve –> ciliary ganglion
short ciliary nerves, choroidal (vasoconstriction) + conj bv
damage to cilairy ganglion causes
- numbness
- horner’s syndrome
- blown pupil
- lack of acc
- damage NT in ganglia (only parasympathetic involved –> dilated pupil)
sympathetic innervation
ciliary muscle
inhibition of acc
-no clinical significance
agonist
replicates the action of the neurotransmitter
lacrimal gland (preganglion) parasympathetic
CN& nucleus (pons) –> travel w/ facial nerve –> geniculate ganglion (sensory) –> greater petrosal nerve –> vidian nerve –> pterygopalatine ganglion –> synaose
lacrimal gland (preganglion) sympathetic
T1-T3 spinal –> superior cervical ganglia –>
what is the preganglionic pathway in the parasympathetic pathway
cn3 –SOF–> inferior division –> ciliary ganglion–> synapse –>
cav sin –> oculomotor cn3 –>
superior branch cn3 –> muller muscle –> widening of palpebral fissure
clinical correlate: hippus (pupillary unrest)
sympathetic + parasympathetic balancing out
-causes pupil to continuously move slightly
abberent regeneration tonic pupil
accommodative fibers can grow to the sphincter
indirect acting agonist
adrenergic agonist
aka sympathomimetics
- hydroxyamphetamine
- cocaine
- pupil dilation
what is the central pathway in the parasympathetic pathway
hypothalamus –> midbrain (ew-nucleus- cn 3)
autonomic lacrimal innervation parasympathetic
increase lacrimal secretion
pupil dilation
phenylephrine: direct acting on dilator muscle
tropicamide: dilation, pupil not to constrict
adrenergic antagonist
aka sympatholytic
dapiprazole
reversal of mydriasis from phenylephrine
where do the sympathetic and parasympathetic join in autonomic pathway to the lacrimal gland
vidian nerve
what two sections does the cav sin break into
ophthalmic nerve + oculomotor cn 3
