Week 9 Flashcards
Origin of Fibers Sympathetic
thoracolumbar region of the spinal cord [T1-L2]
Origin of Fibers paraympathetic
brain stem [cranial nerves] and sacral spinal cord
Length of Fibers Sympathetics
short preganglionic and long postganglionic
Length of Fibers parasympathetics
long preganglionic and short postganglionic
Location of ganglia sympathetic
close to the spinal cord
Location of ganglia parasympathetic
in the visceral effector organs
when are the pupils constrcited?
parasymtpathetic (don’t need to see far)
which cranical nerves carry parasympathetic?
3,7,9,10
oculomotor goes to where?
eye
facial [VII] goes to where>
salivary, nasal, and lacrimal glands
glossopharyngeal [IX] goes to?
parotid salivary glands
vagus [X] goes where?
heart, lungs, and most visceral organs
where do sacral 2-4 go?
large intestine, urinary bladder, ureters, and reproductive organs
the pupils dialtes in sympathetic or parasympathetic
sympathetic
craniosacral is assocaited with what? sympathetic or parasympathetic
parasympathetic
sympathetic or parasympathetic go to skin
only sympathetic
sympathetic or parasympathetic to adrenal medulla
only sympathetic
sympathetic or parasympathetic: heart rate increases, and breathing is rapid and deep
the skin is cold and sweaty, and the pupils dilate
sympathetic
arises from spinal cord segments T1 through L2
sympathetic
sympathetic neurons produce the ____________ of
the spinal cord
lateral horns
sympathetic pregangionic nerves that do NOT synapse
sphlanic nerves
fibers from T5-L2 form _______________s and
synapse with collateral ganglia
splanchnic nerve
how many gangilai in sympathetic trunk?
23 ganglia
there are __ pathways in which the sympathetic nerve fibers reach the peripheral structure
7
where do sympathetics start?
lateral horn
these fibers innervate sweat glands and arrector pili muscles
Pathways with Synapses in Chain Ganglia
these fibers:
serve the skin and blood vessels of the head stimulate dilator muscles of the iris
inhibit nasal and salivary glands
Pathways to the Head- sympathetic
these fibers innervate the heart via the cardiac plexus, the thyroid, aorta, lungs, and esophagus
Pathways to the Thorax- sympathetic
these fibers [T5-L2] leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing
they form thoracic, lumbar, and sacral splanchnic nerves
Pathways with Synapses in Collateral Ganglia- sympathetic
