Lecture 20- Organisation of CNS+ PNS

Question 1

What are the four specialised parasympathetic ganglia?

Answer 1

Ciliary ganglion
Pterygopalatine ganglion
Submandibular gland
Otic ganglion

Question 2

What does ciliary ganglion target?

Answer 2

Receives parasympathetic preganglionics from the oculomotor nerve and distributes parasympathetic postganglionics to the eye

Question 3

What does the pterygopalatine target?

Answer 3

Receives parasympathetic preganglionics from the facial nerve and distributes parasympathetic postganglionics to the lacrimal gland

Question 4

What does the submandibular ganglion target?

Answer 4

Receives parasympathetic preganglionics fom the facial nerve and distributes parasympathetic postganglionics to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands

Question 5

What does the otic ganglion target?

Answer 5

Receives parasympathetic from the glossopharyngeal nerve and distributes parasympathetic postganglionics to the parotid gland

Question 6

Where are autonomic pre-ganglionic neurone cell bodies found in the CNS?

Answer 6

Synpathetic- Lateral horn in T1-L2 cord segments

Parasympathetic- S2-S4 segments and brainstem

Question 7

The origin of sympathetic and Parasympathetic?

Answer 7

Sympathetic- lateral horn of lumbar thoracic spinal chord

Parasympathetic-horn of the medulla

Question 8

What is the sensory division?

Answer 8

The sensory division has efferent neurones which sends their sensory output to the CNS.

Question 9

What is the somatic?

Answer 9

The voluntary division of the PNS with motor neurones responsible for only the skeletal muscle
