28
Q

Sacral Sympathetic Trunk

A
  • A paravertebral sympathetic trunk that is continuous with the lumbar sympathetic trunk;

29
Q

what is the abdominopelvic Splanchnic N. Originating in the Pelvis

A

sacral splanchnic n

Q

Intermesenteric Plexus (mixed Sympathetic and

Parasympathetic, Sympathetic and Parasympathetic input from the Superior Mesenteric Plexus, part of the Aortic Plexus, forms the Periarterial Plexus which follow the gonadal arteries, also feeds Sympathetic into the Inferior Mesenteric Plexus and Superior Hypogastric Plexus)

Produces the:

Sends:

A

Not mixed: IT. IS SYMPATHETIC

Sypathetic input from:

Superior mesenteric plexus send sympathetic Hypogastric Ns.

sacral splanchnic

ramus communicans (rami communicantes)

38
Q

Inferior hypogastric plexus (pelvic plexus to rectum and colon)

Type:

Fibers from:

A

MIXED SYMPATHETIC AND PARA

  • Sympathetic from:
    • ​hypogastric nerves
    • sacral splanchnic nerves (come off of sacral sympathetic trunk-> IHP)
    • ramus communicans (come off sacral sympathetic trunk -> anterior rami of sacral spinal N) to send symp info everywhere.
  • Parasympathetic from:
    • pelvic splanchnic nerves (come off of anterior rami of spinal nerves -> IHP)
39
Q

What. does the inferior hypogastric plexus do in F.

A

forms multiple subplexuses called Pelvic Plexuses.

  1. Vesical Plexus -> detrusor and internal urethral sphincter m.
    1. Sympathetic: causes contraction of the Internal Urethral Sphincter M.;
    2. Parasympathetic: contraction of the Detrusor M. and relaxation of the Internal Urethral Sphincter M.
  2. Uterovaginal Plexus-> inn. WITH BOTH PARASYMPATHETIC AND SYMPATHETIC, except erectile tissue
    1. uterus,
    2. vagina,
    3. vestibular glands
    4. erectile tissue
      1. Caveronous Ns-> erection of clit, engorgement of bulbs and increases vaginal secretion
40
Q

What. does the inferior hypogastric plexus do in M.

A

forms multiple subplexuses called Pelvic Plexuses.

  • Vesical Plexus-> detrusor and internal urethral sphincter m.
  • Prostatic plexus-> inn. WITH BOTH SYMPATHETIC AND PARASYMPATHETIC, except in the erectile tissue (only. parasympathetic
    • prostate gland,
    • proximal urethra,
    • ductus deferens,
      • N. to the ductus deferens -> sympathetic: contract urethral sphincter m.
    • ejaculatory ducts,
      • N. to the ejaculatory. ducts-> symp: contraction of the ejaculatory. ducts
    • seminal vesicles
      • N. to the seminal vesicles ->. symp: contraction and secretion of seminal vesicles -> semen
    • erectile tissue
      • Cavernous N (ONLY PARASYMPATHETIC)- > makes erection
