EXTERNAL AND LEVATOR ANI: Somatic motor
Which areas of the urinary tract are supplied by visceral afferents?
Kidneys Ureters Bladder Urethra Testis
Which areas of the urinary tract are supplied by somatic sensory nerves?
Urethra
Testis
What is the nerve supply used for voluntary control of elimination from the bladder?
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Somatic motor
Visceral afferent
What is the nerve supply to the perineum?
Somatic sensory
Somatic motor
What type of nerve fibre supplies sensory innervation to the soma?
Somatic sensory fibres
What type of nerve fibre supplies sensory innervation to the viscera?
Visceral afferent fibres
What type of nerve fibre supplies motor innervation to the soma?
Somatic motor fibres
What type of nerve fibre supplies motor innervation to the viscera?
Sympathetic fibres
Parasympathetic fibres
The sympathetic fibres leave the CNS via spinal nerves between what vertebral levels? What is this known as?
T1-L2
Thoracolumbar outflow
Sympathetic fibres reach SM/ glands of body wall via…
Spinal nerves
Sympathetic fibres reach SM/ glands of body via…
Cardiopulmonary or abdominopelvic splanchic nerves
Sympathetic fibres reach SM/ glands of head via…
Hitching a ride with arteries that supply the structure
Sympathetic chains run the entire length of the vertebral column. True/ False?
True
Outline the route taken by sympathetic nerves from the CNS to the KUB
Leave spinal cord between T10-L2
–> Sympathetic chains
–> Abdominopelvic splanchic nerves
–> Synapse at abdominal sympathetic ganglia
–> Post-synaptic nerve onto surface of arteries
towards organs
What is a periarterial plexus?
Collection of nerve fibres on outside of arteries
How do parasympathetic fibres leave the CNS? What is this known as?
CNs III, VII, IX, X and sacral spinal nerves
Craniosacral outflow
Parasympathetic nerves do not innervate…
SM/glands of body wall
