Q

How will organs of the abdominal-pelvic cavity receive postganglionic sympathetic axons

A

pre-aortic ganglia

25
How do viscero-somatic reflexes occur
GVA returns the pain information from the organ back to the spinal cord, can cause somatic changes leading to reflex and somatic dysfunction at the same level
26
Where are the cell bodies of GVA axons
posterior ganglion (DRG)
27
What types of nerve fibers do main nerve trunks contain
GSE, GSA | GVE, GVA
28
What type of nerve fibers do motor branches contain
GSE GSA GVE GVA
29
What is the function of GSE
innervate skeletal muscle
30
What is the function of GSA
innervate sensory receptors in muscle
31
What are types of sensory receptors
msucle spindles | golgi tendon organs
32
What is function of GVE and GVA
sympathetic axons innervate smooth muscle in blood vessels
33
What types of nerve fibers do cutaneous branches contain
GSA | GVE/GVA
34
What is the function of GSA in cutaneous nerves
give rise to sensory receptors in the skin
35
What is the function of GVE and GVA in cutaneous nerves
innervate smooth muscle in blood vessels, glands, and arrector pili muscles
36
What is parasympathetic function
rest and digest
37
Where do parasympathetics distribute
only to deep structures
38
Where do parasympathetics not go to
Skin
39
Where do parasympathetics originate from
Cranial sacral regions of CNS
40
What are the Cranial nerves
CN3, CN7, CN9, CN10
41
Where are parasympathetic ganglia found
wall of the organ
42
Where are preganglionic cell bodies of parasympathetics found
IML-like area in sacral regions of the spinal cord
43
Where will GVAs be found in parasympathetic nervous system
same level as GVE
44
What is a viscerotome
segmental innervation of the viscera
45
What is the viscerotome for head and thoracic organs
T1-T2
46
What is the viscerotome for intestines, stomach
T5-9
47
What is the viscerotome for pelvic organs
L1-L2
48
What leads to referred pain

left chest and UE
50
Where does referred pain for esophagus appear
sternum
51
Where does referred pain for liver and gallbladder appear
