29
Q

exit sympathetic trunk through…

A

splanchnic never which is still presynaptic after it passes through the sympathetic ganglion except for cardiopulminary splanchnic are postsynaptic or postganglion

30
Q

pelvic splanchnic nerves are sypathetic or parasympatheitic

A

para

31
Q

how many pairs of spinal nerves

A

31 pairs

32
Q

neoplastic vs osteoporotic compression fracture

A

osteoporotic weakened trabeculae with thin cortical bone/ neoplastic=cancer spreads through bastons vertebral venous plexus to vertebral bodies

33
Q

spondylosis

A

defect in pars interarticularis of the neural arch between superior and inferior articular process/water content of cartilage decreases while protein degenerates

34
Q

spondylolisthesis (bilateral spondylosis)

A

spinal column above slides forward on column below most common in LV5 on SV1

35
Q

General Somatic Afferent (GSA)

A

carries sensory information from a somatic structure

36
Q

white matter

A

transmits info up and down spinal cord

37
Q

grey matter

A

transmits info laterally to and from spinal nerves/seat of cell bodies

38
Q

lateral horn

A

more of your visceral motor innervation

39
Q

plantar flexion

A

toes flex down

40
Q

dorsi flexion

A

toes flex up

Q

retinaculum

A

a band around tendons that holds them in place

42
Q

somites give rise to…

laterally

52
Q

white matter sends info

A

up the spinal cord

53
Q

preganglion neurotransmitter of the sympathetic region

A

acetylcholine

54
Q

postganglionic neurotransmitter of the the sympathetic region

A

noripenephrine blocked by beta adrenergic drugs

55
Q

location of receptor cells for the noripenephrin in the sympathetic system

A

located in the effector organ

56
Q

autonomic nervous system parasympathic region

A

craniosacral

57
Q

autonomic nervous system sympathic region

A

thoracolumbar

58

GSE uses what kinds of neurons

A

somatic multipolar motor nuerons

60
Q

GVE

A

autonomic multipolar motor nuerons

61
Q

sympathetic nuerotransmiter paths

A

uses noripenephrin on postganglion then actetycholine on preganglion

62

symaptheic innervation comes form what levels

A

t1-s2-3

64
Q

In the sympatheitc neurons haw do axons gain access to sympathetic chain ganglion?

A

through white rami communicons

65
Q

splanchnic nerves

A

DO NOT SYNAPSe in sympathetic trunk they exit then synapse

66
Q

sympatheic innervation pattern in the head

A

sympathetic nuers level t1-t4 go up the sympatheic trunk and synapse in superior cervical ganglion

67
Q

sympathetic innervation pattern for throacic (heart and lungs)

A

synapes in parasympathic ganglion on that level then to effector organ except vervical cardia goes up and synapes up top in cervical ganglion

68
Q

abdominal visera innervation for sympatheitc

A

PRE GANGLIONIC IN SYMPATHEITC GANGLION then become post ganglionic once they synapse in lower ganglion outside sympatheitc ganglion these are called splanchnic nerves
