Q

what route do preganglionic SYMPATHETIC neurones take from the CNS to reach structures in the head (e.g. dilator muscle of iris)

A

leave the CNS, travel up in the parasympathetic chain and synapse on a higher up ganglia.

piloerection

35
Q

what effects does the sympathetic nervous system have on the two muscles of the bladder when the bladder is FILLING?

A

relaxation of detrusor muscles

contraction of internal sphincter muscles

36
Q

what effect does the parasympathetic nervous system have on the two muscles of the bladder when the bladder is fun (to empty it)?

A

constriction if detrusor muscles and relaxation of internal spinster muscles
