A

Autonomous zone

Indicates the damage/loss of innervation to one specific nerve

48
Q

What are the differences in a cutaneous area and a dermatome?

A

Cutaneous area - supplied by a specific cutaneous n. Dermatomes - only specifies the area served by a spinal nerve.

49
Q

What is found in muscle nerves and not in cutaneous nerves?

A

50
Q

where can muscle nerves originate from? (which primary branches?)

A

Dorsal and ventral primary branches

51
Q

What is Sweeny?

A

muscle atrophy in horse due to damage to the suprascapular nerve.
Sensory innervation still intact for that area

52
Q

parasym postG fibers

67

nicotinic and muscarinic

69
Q

Where are nicotinic receptors found? what do they respond to?

A
  • pre/postG junctions of both sym and parasym systems

A
  • parasym postG effector junction

- acetycholine

71
Q

Where are adrenergic receptors found and what do they respond to?

A
  • sym postG effector junctions

- norepinephrine

72
Q

What is the route of sym nerve fibers to the head/C1/C2 region?

A
  • exit T1
  • pass through cervicothoracic ganglion to travel in sympathetic trunk
  • synapse in cranial cervical ganglion
  • postG from fibers from C1/C2 go back vua communicating branches
  • postG for head travel via plexus around internal carotid
73
Q

What does damage to the vagosympathetic trunk do?

A
  • HORNERS!!!!!
  • eliminates preG to cranial cervical ganglion
  • **sympathetic supply to head removed!!!!!
74
Q

What is the route of sym nerve fibers to the abdominal/pelvuc cavities and the genitalia?

A
  • from T8-L3
  • enter sympathetic trunk
  • leave either via splanchnic n. or L1-L4 lumbar splanchnic n.
  • synapse in prevertebral ganglia
  • travel to effector organ via arterial plexuses
  • preGs for pelvis/urogenitals synapse in caudal mesenteric G and postG leave from hypogastric n. to pass through pelviv plexus
  • PreG to genitals synapse in pelvic plexus or sacral chain G
75
Q

What do the sympathetics do to innervate the body wall? Where do they go and how do they get back?

A
  • from L1-Cd lat horn to sym trunkto synapse in chain G

- back: communicating branch to body wall

76
Q

What is the parasym route for fibers to visceral organs to the transverse colon?

A
  • vagus n. >vagosym trunk>dorsal/ventral vagal trunks>abdominal autonomic plexuses (don’t synapse)>terminal G (synapse) in effector organ
  • short postGs run from terminal G to effector
77
Q

What is the parasym route for fiber to visceral orgasn distal to transverse colon?

A

-S1-S2>PELVIC N.>pelvic plexus (most synapse here)>others fibers may cont and synapse in terminal G
