Q

what is the function of simple stomach

A

receives boluses of food from
the oesophagus, mixes the food with secretions of the stomach wall, stores
it, and then releases it into the duodenum at a controlled rate, to maximise digestion and absorption

somatic motor system, there’s a motor neuron that goes from the spinal cord, directly to the skeletal muscle. So there’s one myelinated nerve, travelling from the spinal cord, to the muscle

65
Q

autonomic efferent pathway

A

Efferent neurons are made up of two neurons, a preganglionic nerve, and a postganglionic nerve. The preganglionic nerve is myelinated, and the postganglionic one isn’t.
The length of these pre- and postsynaptic fibres is different in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

A
  • synapses in sympathetic ganglia chain (sympathetic trunk) made up of paravertebral ganglia located next to spinal column in thoracic and abdominal cavities
  • parasympathetic synapses in autonomic ganglia that is close to the tissue it is going to be innervating, emerge from craniosacral region

78
Q

some preganglionic sympathetic fibres pass through the sympathetic chain without synapsing, instead they synapse at ganglia which are associated with

A

the 3 major blood vessels that supply to GIT: (ganglia named after blood vessels they lie on)

79
Q

sympathetic innervation; those preganglionic fibers that DON’t pass through the chain and instead lie on the 3 major arteries supplying the GIT;

A

the coeliac and cranial mesenteric
plexuses.

80
Q

the GIT has its own intrinsic nervous system called

A
