35
Q

Where fo abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves synapse at?

A

PRE vertebral ganglia

36
Q

Where do parasympathetics traveling in the vagus nerve stop?

A

splenic flexure

37
Q

In the sympathetics, cell bodies are for PARA vertebral ganglia are found in all parts of the body EXCEPT

A

abdominopelvic viscera (organs)

38
Q

Where do the abdominal viscera (organs) of the sympathetics synapse?

A

PRE vertebral ganglia

pre = pretty organs

39
Q

Why are suprarenal glands special?

A

Cause they do not synapse with anything! they are directly stimulated by pre-synaptic fibers as the gland actually functions are post-synaptic neurons.

Come from NC cells

40
Q

In the parasympathetics (w/ the enteric nervous system), which is longer the pre or post synaptic fiber?

A

Pre! because the post is directly on the gut!

41

Cranial nerve 3 goes to which ganglia?

A

Ciliary

42
Q

44
Q

ciliary ganglia sends nerves to ______.

A

orbit (eyes)

45
Q

Otic ganglia sends nerves to _______.

A

paratid salivary gland

46
Q

Pterygopalatine ganglia sends nerves to _______.

A

Nasal + palate

47
Q

Submandibular ganglia sends nerves to ______.

A

Oral region (submandibular + sublinguial salivary glands)

48
Q

True or False:

Parasympathetics only go to internal organs + glands (NEVER body wall + limbs)

A

True

49
Q

Where do the cranial parasympathetic fibers stop innervating the abdominal organs, and the sacral fibers begin?
