Q

Aortic plexuses

A

contain ANS fibers (PS and symp) on the surface of aorta

  • plexuses contain:
    1. presynaptic PS (vagal) fibers
    2. Presynaptic Symp (Splanchnic) fibers
    3. Postsynaptic symp fibers
    4. Visceral affarent fibers

Q

cord levels of symp. splanchnics?

A

greater: T5-9
Lesser: T10-11
Least: T12
Lumbar Splanchnic: T11-L2

17
Q

Greater splanchnic n.

A
  • Symp preganglionic bodies at T5-9
  • nerves synapse mostly in celiac ganglia
  • innervation of foregut
18
Q

Lesser Splanchnic n.

A
  • Symp preganglionic bodies at T10-11
  • synapse mostly at superior mesenteric ganglia and some aorticorenal
    innervate midgut as well as kidney
19
Q

Least splanchnic n.

A

symp preganglionic bodies at T12

  • synapse at SM ganglion and aorticorenal
  • supply midgut and kidney
20
Q

Lumbar Splanchnics

A

symp preganglionic bodies at mostly L1,2

  • synapse in inferior mesenteric ganglion
  • provide for hindgut
21
Q

Foregut, midgut, hinddgut? PS inneration

A

foregut: vagus n.
Midgut: Vagus n.
Hindgut: Pelvic Splanchnic n.

22
Q

Foregut region?

A

Foregut: T5-9 symp, greater splanchnic, celiac ganglion, vagus n. PS

23
Q

Midgut region?

A

Vagus n PS
T8-12 Symp: via greater, lesser, leas
superior mesenteric ganglion

24
Q

Hindgut region?

A

Pelvic splanchnic n.
L1-2 Symp: via lumbar splanchnic
inferior mesenteric ganglion

25
Q

distension? vs. pain?

A

pain travels with sympathetic nn. back to thoracic/upper lumbar spinal cord
- distension travels with PS nerves back to brainstem of sacral spinal cord

26
Q

Esophagus

A

Symp: T5-9 via greater splanchnic. celiac plexus. affarent acute pain felt substernally at T6

27
Q

Stomach

A

Symp: T5-9 via greater splanchnic: celiac ganglia, acute pain felt T6-9

PS: vagus n.

28
Q

Small Intestine

A

Symp: T8-10 via greater and lesser splanchnic nn.
celiac and superior mesenteric ganglia
acute pain in T8-10

PS: via vagus nerve

29
Q

Cecum, Appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon

A

Symp: T10-12: lesser and least splanchnic: via superior mesenteric plexus
