Q

Which cranial nerves leave the forebrain?

18
Q

Which cranial nerves leave from the brainstem?

A

III to XII (XI + spinal cord)

19
Q

Which nerve contains 80% of PNS outflow?

A

Vagus nerve (X)

20
Q

Where do the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system originate from?

A

T1-T2 and L1-L3 of spinal cord

21
Q

Which type of neuron originates from the T1-T2 and L1-L3?

A

Preganglionic neuron

22
Q

What forms a lump in the PNS?

A

Ganglia collections of neurone soma

23
Q

What is the sympathetic chain?

A

Ganglion form a chain along the length of the thoracic spinal cord

24
Q

What can the T1 ganglion be fused with?

A

infused cervical gang

25
How do the fibers reach the ganglia?
White rami (short myelinated nerves)
26
Do the white rami just travel through the sympathetic trunk?
No; they also travel through splanchnic nerves to prevertebral ganglia
27
What does innervation of the viscera lead to?
Vasoconstriction Bronchiodilation Glandular secretion Reduced gut motility
28
Where do the signals go in the white rami?
Up the root
29
Where do the axons reach in the somatic neurons?
Go straight to muscle
30
Where do the axons reach from the autonomic nervous system?
Motor axons connect with another cell in a ganglion, this cell innervates muscle or gland Pre-ganglionic axons myelinated Post-ganglionic axons are not
31
Where are the sympathetic ganglia near?
Spinal cord
32
Where are the parasympathetic ganglia near?
Targets; 1:4+ = pre: post-ganglionic
33
What type of ganglia form the sympathetic chain?
Paravertebral ganglia
34
In the sympathetic system the _ fibers are short
pre-ganglionic
35
In the parasympathetic system the _ fibers are long
pre-ganglionic
36
The parasympathetic chain does not exist. How do the parasympathetic ganglia spread?
Spread all over the place close to targets or embedded so they are very short
37
How many postganglionic neurons can one preganglionic sympathetic axon synapse with?
20; and can innervate several effectors
38
How many postganglionic neurons can one preganglionic parasympathetic axon synapse with?
4-5; all supply same effector
39
What receptors do sympathetic and parasympathetic pre-ganglions use?
ACh and N2 receptors
40
Sympathetic post-ganglionic are _
adrenergic (except to sweat glands: ACh)
41
Parasympathetic are ?
cholinergic
