visceral Afferents Flashcards
1
Q
Where is the visceral afferent cell body located?
A
posterior root ganglia or relevant cranial nerve ganglion
2
Q
Where does the central process (axon) enter the cord?
A
through the posterior root or specific cranial nerve
3
Q
Where does the peripheral processes (dendrites) carry impulses from?
A
viscera cell bodies
4
Q
Peripheral processes carry impulses from viscera to the cell bodies via?
A
autonomic ganglia
plexus
somatic nerves without synapse
5
Q
Where do the sympathetic afferents travel in the peripheral processes?
A
through the sympathetic trunk and spiral ganglia by passing through white ramus
6
Q
Where do the parasympathetic nerves travel within the peripheral processes?
A
in the sacral spinal nerves and the cranial nerves
