Pelvic Autonomic Flashcards
Autonomic Nervous System, visceral afferent or efferent
efferent
where do preganglionic cell bodies reside for sympathetic
T1-L2
sympathetic postganglionic cell bodies
sympathetic chain and colateral ganglia/prevertebral ganglia
parasympathetic preganglionic cell bodies
cranial nerve nuclei/sacral S2-S4
brainstem
postsynaptic parasympathetic cell bodyies
in the walls of the organs they innervate
white or gray ramus communicans is preganglionic
white ramus communcans is preganglionic
gray ramus communican is postganglionic sympathetic
where is dorsal root ganglia located
in vertebral canal
where is the chain ganglia located
outside the vertebral canal
once presynaptic fiber enters the chain, which nerves pass through without synapsing
splanchnic nerves
what do they sacral splanchnic nerves serve
pelvic viscera
vertebral level of greater splanchnic nerves, and what do they serve
T5-T9
celiac ganglion
vertebral level of lesser splanchnic nerves, and what do they serve
T10-T11
superior mesenteric
vertebral level of least splanchnic nerves, and where are they going
T12
aorticorenal
vertebral level of lumbar splanchnic nerves, and where are they going
L1-L2
IMA
parasympathetic NS, 1 of the 4 cranial nerves, __for entire body all the way down to mid/hind gut transition
vagus
the distal extent of vagus parasympathetic innervation
proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
sacral parasympathetic outflow via __splanchnic nerves
pelvic splanchnic nerves
sacral splanchnic nerves and pelvic splanchnic nerves that come together to form
hypogastric plexus
both sympathetic trunks running along the sacrum join in a single caudal ganglia called
ganglion impar
sacral plexus is was kind of innervation
somatic (sensory/motor)
contains sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers, innervation to proximal portion of hindgut
hypogastric plexus
nervous system that is part of the intestinal tract
enteric NS
2 plexus’ associated with the enteric nervous system (NS of intestinal tract)
submuscosa (meissner's plexus) and myenteric (auerbach's) plexus (located into between smooth muscle layers )
