Q

what type of motor nerves supply the urethra and why?

A

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

Q

abdominopelvic splanchnic nerves are the same as pelvic splanchnic nerves T or F

A

F!! abdominopelvic are sympathetic and pelvic are parasympathetic

32
Q

parasympathetic supply to kidneys and ureters?

A

CN X

33
Q

parasympathetic supply to bladder?

A

pelvic splanchnic nerves

34
Q

the only part of the renal system that receives a somatic motor supply is…

A

the external urethral sphincter and distal urethra (because it is in the perineum)

35
Q

pain from what structure will be felt from the “loin to the groin”?

A

ureter

36
Q

pain from what structure will be felt in the loin?

A

kidney

37
Q

pain from the bladder is felt where?

A

suprapubic region in the midline

38
Q

how do visceral afferents get back to the spinal cord?

mainly follow sympathetics but in some cases can accompany parasympathetics

39
Q

visceral afferent nerves enter the spinal cord between what spinal levels?

A

T1 and L1

40
Q

why is pain felt in the loin in the kidney?

A

pain is felt in the dermatome levels of T1-L1 (where the visceral afferent fibres enter the spinal cord)

41
Q

a structure can only be in the pelvic pain line if…

A

it is in contact with the peritoneum

42
Q

visceral afferents from the ureters enter the spinal cord at what spinal levels?

A

T11-L2

43
Q

visceral afferents from the bladder enter the spinal cord at what spinal levels?

A

T11-L2

44
Q

visceral afferents of what organs (specifically) travels with parasympathetics to get back to the spinal cord?

A

the part of the bladder that is not in the pelvic pain line AND the proximal urethra

45
Q

why are the testes’ visceral afferent fibres carried to the spinal cord by sympathetics and not parasympathetics?

A

the originate embryologically higher up in the abdomen ie above the pelvic pain line

46
Q

somatic sensory fibres from the distal urethra and perineum get back to the spinal cord via what nerve?

A

pudental

47
Q

visceral afferents from the testis enter the spinal cord at what levels?

A

T10-11

48
Q

what is pain in the kidneys like?

A

S2-4

52
Q

visceral afferent fibres enter the spinal cord at…

A

53
Q

how does the body know the bladder is full?

A

via stretch receptors at the end of visceral afferent fibres
