Q

What are the effects of increased PNS stimulation on the glands, GI, Liver, Gallbladder/ ducts, GI arterioles?

A

Glands= copious secretions

GI= stimulation of peristalsis and sphincter relaxation

Liver= promote glycogen synthesis

Gallbladder= contraction

GI arterioles= NO innervation

Q

What is the SNS effect on the Glands, Blood Vessels, GI, Liver, Gallbladder, and GI arterioles?

A

Glands= decrease secretion

BV= constriction

GI= decrease peristalsis and increase sphincter tone

Liver= promote glycogen breakdown

Gallbladder= relax

GI arterioles= constriction

Q

What are the effects of increased SNS tone in a disease state?

A

1) Vasoconstriction leading to decreased nutritional supply to tissue
2) Thickened secretions causing tissue congestion
3) Decreased lymphatic drainage

Q

Describe the viscero-somatic relationship.

A
  • Visceral pain is carried by visceral afferent”

- There is “spill-over” into the somatic afferents

17
Q

What thoracic levels are associated with the Upper GI System?

A

T5-11

18
Q

What throacic levels are associated with the Lower GI System?

A

T9-L2

19
Q

In the thoracic vertebrae, what type of SD is commonly seen with a chronic GI issue?

A
  • Extension
  • Rotation
  • Sidebending

All TOWARD the SAME side of the organ involved.

20
Q

What is post-op ileus a consequence of?

A

Viscero-visceral reflex in response to handling of the bowel during during surgery

21
Q

What ganglia will afferents from the thoracic splancnic nerves go to?

A

Celiac ganglion

22
Q

What ganglion will afferents from lumbar splancnic nerves go to?

A

Inferior mesenteric ganglion

23
Q

What is the outcome of hyperactivity of both the SNS and PNS?

A

IBS

24
Q

What are the three main elements that will hinder lymph flow?

A

1) Flattened diaphragm
2) Fascial torsion
3) Thoracic inlet impairment
