Q

Parasympathetic preganglionic neuron cell bodies are found in the…

A

nuclei of CN III, VII, IX & X
(oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus)

and lateral grey horns of S2-S4

17
Q

Differentiate cholinergic vs. adrenergic

A

Cholinergic: uses ACh
Adrenergic: uses NE or E

18
Q

The paravertebral ganglia are also called the…

A

sympathetic trunk ganglia or vertebral chain ganglia

19
Q

The prevertebral ganglia are also called the…

A

collateral ganglia

20
Q

What are the 5 major prevertebral ganglia?

A 
celiac
superior mesenteric
inferior mesenteric
aorticorenal
renal
21
Q

Which two sympathetic ganglia are found in the celiac/solar plexus?

A

celiac & aorticorenal

22
Q

Which ganglia passes through the hypogastric plexus?

A

inferior mesenteric ganglia

23
Q

The parasympathetic ganglia are called the…

A

terminal or intramural ganglia

24
Q

Parasympathetic ganglia are mostly located ______

A

close to or within the walls of the organs they supply

25
Q

Only the 4 terminal ganglia in the head are named: ____, ____, ___, ____. All are intramural.

A

ciliary ganglion
pterigopalatine ganglion
submandibular ganglion
otic ganglion

26
Q

There are 4 different ways sympathetic preganglionic neurons may synapse with postganglionic neurons:

A
  1. synapsing in the first ganglion it reaches
  2. ascending or descending before synapsing (forming the sympathetic trunk chain or paravertebral ganglia)
  3. passing through the sympathetic trunk without synapsing, to synapse in prevertebral ganglion instead
  4. passing to chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla without synapsing in either sympathetic ganglia (neither para or prevertebral)
27
Q

Which two plexuses are found in the thorax?

A

cardiac and pulmonary

28
Q

The hypogastric plexus is found:

A

anterior to L5

29
Q

The largest autonomic plexus of the body is the…

A

solar plexus
