2. Stomach
3. spleen
4. Adrenal gland
5. Kidney
6. Small intestine
7. Large Intestine

Question 10

Pelvic Splanchnic nerve (S2-S4)

Answer 10

1. Small intestine and large intestine
2. Rectum
3. Urinary Bladder

Question 11

what is the neurotransmitter associated with the sympathetic?

Answer 11

nor epinephrine

Question 12

what is the neurotransmitter associated with parasympathetic?

Answer 12

Acetylcholine

Question 13

What happens in the pre-synaptic cell bodies?

Answer 13

from T1-L2 it will go through four steps

1. comes out of lateral horn of grey matter
2. goes to ventral root
3. passes through white ramus communicans
4. Finish at the paravertebral ganglia

Question 14

what are the four options that can happen after the presynaptic cells finish at the paravertebral ganglia

Answer 14

1. Ascends and synapses which goes to the head
2. synapse at the level of entry which happens with cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves
3. descend, then synapse which goes to lower limbs
4. pass through without synapsing which goes through the abdominal pelvic splanchnic nerve

Question 15

what does the sympathetic nervous system control?

Answer 15

dilation of pupils
hair stands on end
increase heart rate
increase respiratory rate
decrease GI tract 
vasoconstriction

Question 16

What does the parasympathetic nervous system control?

Answer 16

Pupils constrict
Relaxed hair
decreased respiratory rate
decreased heart increase Gi Tract
Vasodilation rate
