Q

how does the abdominal and pelvic organs get sympathetic innervation?

A

Preganglionic neurons enter white ramus communicans through the splanchnic nerves where they synapse with prevertebral ganglion (sit on top of vertebra and aorta), they will synapse with postganglionic neurons and reach their target organ

24
Q

what is the sympathetic pathway of the adrenal glands?

A

Preganglionic neuron doesn’t synapse at all with a postganglionic neuron and simply synapses directly

25
Q

what portion of the GIT is innervated by the Vagus N?

A

foregut and midgut

26
Q

what organs are parasympathetically innervated by the vagus N

A

Kidneys
Celiac plexus
Superior mesenteric plexus
Renal plexus

27
Q

what type of innervation do the adrenals lack?

A

parasympathetic

28
Q

where does the pelvic splanchnic N arise from?

A

sacral spinal N (S2-S4)

29
Q

what does the pelvic splanchnic N innervate?

A

hindgut

30
Q

through what plexus do the preganglionic neurons travel trough to reach the hindgut?

A

inferior hypogastric plexus

31
Q

where do fibers of the splanchnic pelvic N travel to reach the hindgut

A

along the hypogastric N to the superior hypogastric plexus and inferior mesenteric plexus where they will travel along the IMA

32
Q

what organs are innervated by the pelvic splanchnic nerve?

A

hindgut, pelvis and pelvic organs

33
Q

where does the sympathetic chain enter the abdomen from?

A

via the medial arcuate ligament

34
Q

what is the pathway of the preganglionic neurons of the thoracic splanchnic nerve?

A

o Preganglionic neurons targeting pre-aortic ganglia synapse with postganglionic neurons

35
Q

what branches come from the thoracic splanchnic nerve?

A
  • greater splanchnic nerve
  • lesser splanchnic nerve
  • least splanchnic nerve
36
Q

what contributes tot he greater splanchnic N?

A

T5-T9

37
Q

What is the pathway of the greater splanchnic nerve?

A

Preganglionic neurons synapse in celiac ganglion with post ganglionic neurons. Fibers travel through the celiac plexus and along the arteries to get to the target organs in the foregut and the kidneys

38
Q

what type of neuron is absent in the adrenal glands?

A

postganglionic neurons

39
Q

what is the aorticortical ganglion specific for?

A

specific for sympathetic input that goes to the kidney and ureters

40
Q

what contributes to the lesser splanchnic nerve?

A

T10-T11

41
Q

what is the nervous pathway of the lesser splanchnic nerve?

A

Preganglionic neuron synapses in the superior mesenteric ganglion s with postganglionic neurons that travel through the superior mesenteric plexus and along the arteries of the SMA t0 innervate the midgut structures and synapses in the aorticorenal ganglion with postganglionic neurons that target the kidney via the renal plexus

42
Q

what contributes to the least splanchnic N?

A

T12

43
Q

what is the pathway of the least splanchnic nerve?

A

Preganglionic neurons synapses in the aorticorenal ganglia with postganglionic neurons that travel to the kidneys via the renal plexus

44
Q

what contributes to the lumbar splanchnic n?

A

contributions from L1-L2

45
Q

What is the nerve pathway of the lumbar splanchnic nerve?

A

• Preganglionic neurons synapse in the inferior mesenteric ganglion with postganglionic neurons that travels through inferior mesenteric plexus to target organs of the hindgut

46
Q

at what level does the white ramus communicans end?

A

Q

what are plexuses?
