Question 6

progress of signaling for CN10

Answer 6

larynx
heart
stomach
celiac ganglion
superior mesenteric ganglion to intestines

Question 7

explain sacral outflow

Answer 7

preganglionic neuron through ventral rami of S2-S4 via pelvic splanchnic nerve to the left colic flexure, pelvic viscera and genital organs

Question 8

what nerve does the heavy lifting and how much does it contribute?

Answer 8

vagus
75% of pANS outflow

Question 9

how are the pre/postganglionic cells oriented? how is this different than the sANS

Answer 9

pANS - long preganglionic and short postganglionic neurons
sANS - short preganglionic and long postganglionic neurons
