Nerve roots of sympathetic control of gut
T5-L3
Describe the sympathetic nerves that control the gut
Pass through sympathetic trunk without synapsids
Form presynaptic splanchnic nerves- greater, lesser, and least
State nerve roots for each of the splanchnic nerves
Greater- t5-t9
Lesser- t10-11
Least- t12
Where do splanchnic nerves synapse?
In ganglia outside he sympathetic chain eg coeliac, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric
Which parasympathetic nerves supply gut
Pelvic and vagus
What do the sympathetic and parasympathetics do to the gut?
Parasympathetics increase everything and sympathetics slow it down
Roots of pelvic splanchnic nerves?
S2-s4
Which bits do the vagus and pelvic nerves supply?
Vagus is oesophagus, stomach, up to transverse colon. Pelvic is transverse colon to anal canal
What’s the enteric nervous system?
Guts own nervous system, operates independently of autonomic system (but does have lots of ans connections)
What is the plexus of the pelvic splanchnic nerves
Inferior Hypogastric plexus
Name the twovplexuses of the enteric nervous system
Meissners plexus
Auerbachs plexus
What do each of the enteric nervous systems plexuses do
Meissners plexus controls blood flow, secretions, epithelial things
Auerbachs plexus controls muscles
Name four layers of the gut
adventitiousMucosa, submucosa, muscularis ropria, adventitia
Three layers of the mucosa
Epithelium, lamina proprietary, muscularis mucosa
Which layers are the enteric plexuses found in
Submucosa is meissners plexus
Muscularis propia is auerbachs
Which cells secrete histamine
Enterpchromaffin-like cells
S cells secrete…
Secretin
D cells secrete…
somatostatin (paracrine)
Tell me about secretin
Produced by S cells, stimulated by H+ and fatty acids, increases HCO3 release from pancreas/GB, reduces gastric acid secretion
What’s stimulated by H+
Secretin & D cells
What’s stimulated by fatty acids
Secretin & GIP
What’s stimulated by amino acids
GIP & I cells
