30
Q

the axons of which postanglionic neurons are longer?

sympathetic motor neurons / parasympathetic motor neurons

A

sympathetic

postganglionic neurons of parasympathetic division are very short as parasympathetic ganglia lie close/within visceral effectors

31
Q

what are the 4 paths of sympathetic preganglionic motor neurons?

A
  1. synapses w/ sympathetic trunk at same lvl
  2. synapses w/ sympathetic trunk above/below

3 passes through sympathetic trunk, forms synapse at prevertebral ganglion

  1. passes through both sympathetic trunk and prevertebral ganglion, synapses w/ chromaffin cells
32
Q

what are chromaffin cells?

A

modified neurons found in suprarenal medullae that secrete NE and E into bloodstream

33
Q

why do sympathetic responses affect many tissues and organs simultaneously?

A

sympathetic preganglionic neurons have >20 axon collaterals that each synapse w/ postganglionic neuron

each postganglionic neuron forms synapse w/ several more effectors

34
Q

why do parasympathetic responses tend to be localized?

A

each preganglionic neuron synapses with only few (4-5) postganglionic neurons

each postganglionic neuron synapses w/ a single visceral effector

parasympathetic ganglia are nearby/within effectors

35
Q

where do sympathetic preganglionic neurons exit SC through?

A

through intervertebral foramina at T1-L2

Q

why are there more grey communicating rami than white communicating rami?

A

there are rami for each of the paired 31 spinal nerves (62 total)
