Q

what is the difference between a ganglia and a plexus?

Q

Where does the vagus lose its effect on the GIT?

A

transverse colon

after that = pelvic nerve from S1-3

passes through pelvic plexus then follows arteries to desc colon etc

Q

describe the route of the vagus from the brainstem

A

vago-symp trunk down the neck

L & R vagus in thorax

join D & V as passes through the oesophageal foramen

D –> visc surface of stomach etc; V –> parietal surface of stomach etc

Q

Do all the abdominal organs drain via the hepatic portal system ?

A

NO. only the GI ones.

(Unless you are a reptile/bird/fish with a renal portal system as well)

fat (chylomicrons) do not drain via this either
