Urinary Incontinence and Renal System Pain Flashcards
what muscles of the renal system are controlled by motor nerves?
internal urethral sphincter
detrusor muscle
ureteric smooth muscle
name the 5 types of nerve fibre
somatic sensory somatic motor visceral afferent parasympathetic sympathetic
another word for an afferent nerve?
sensory nerve
another word for an efferent nerve?
motor nerve
any nerve supplying skeletal muscle would be a…
somatic motor nerve
motor supply to smooth muscle?
always parasympathetics
what type of motor nerves supply the urethra and why?
proximal urethra = visceral afferent because it is in the pelvis
distal = somatic motor because it is in the perineum which is a body wall structure
what type of sensory nerves supply the urethra and why?
visceral afferents mainly however if the pain/sensation is from the scrotum it will be somatic sensory
what is the main sensory nerve for pain?
visceral afferent
motor and sensory supply to the perineum?
somatic sensory and motor nerves
how many pairs of spinal nerves are there?
31
how many pairs of cranial nerves are there?
12
somatic motor and sensory nerves are carried the entire length of the spinal cord T or F
T
autonomics exit at each length of the spinal cord: T or F
F, sympathetic is only thoracolumbar and parasymp is craniosacral
sympathetic nerve fibres leave the CNS via what spinal levels?
T1-L2
sympathetic fibres reach smooth muscle/glands of the body wall via what fibres?
spinal nerves
sympathetic fibres leave the muscle/glands of the body (not wall) via what fibres?
splanchnic nerves
give 2 examples of splanchnic nerves
cardiopulmonary
abdominopelvic
sympathetic fibres get to the muscles gland of the head via what fibres?
they follow arteries
what does the rami communicans do?
allows the symp fibre to get from the spinal nerve to sympathetic chain
presynaptic sympathetics to the kidneys, ureters and bladder will leave the spinal cord at what vertebral levels?
T10-L2
what do the presynaptic sympathetics to the kidneys, ureters and bladder do after leaving the sympathetic chain?
leave with abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves
synapse in the abdominal symp ganglia
where is the abdominal sympathetic ganglia located?
around the abdo aorta
where do the POSTsynaptic sympathetics to the bladder, ureters and kidneys go after synapsing?
hitch a ride with the respective arteries of the organ
what is a periarterial plexus?
collection of nerve fibres found on the outside of arteries
parasympathetic fibres leave the CNS within what nerves?
CN 3, 7, 9, 10
S2, 3, 4
parasympathetics innervate the body wall T or F
F, the body wall only receives sympathetic fibres
how do parasympathetics supply the chest?
via the vagus nerve
anything above what structure is supplied by the vagus nerve as its parasympathetic fibre?
splenic flexure
anything below the pelvis flexure is supplied by what fibre as their parasympathetic innervation?
pelvic splanchnic nerves
