10
Q

Purpose of sympathetic innervation of gut

A

to divert blood supply away from gut in a flight/fight situation

11
Q

Preganglionic parasympathetic nerves to gut are long/short

A

long –> enteric ganglia are within walls of gut tube so postganglionic nerves are short

12
Q

Thoracic and lumbar splanchnic nerves have collateral innervation provided by the ____

A

prevertebral ganglia

13
Q

Postganglionic sympathetics reach the viscera via the _____

A

periarterial plexus

14
Q

S fibers carry sensations of visceral pain back from the gut structures they innervate and refer them which dermatomes?

A

those dermatomes of the body wall that match the sympathetic innervation of the organ

15
Q

T/F visceral pain is well localized

A

F –> referred pain so poorly localized

16
Q

Secondary retroperitoneal viscera in abdomen

A

midgut portion of duodenum, pancreas (except tail), ascending colon, descending colon

Q

3 synonyms for mesentery remnant

A

cricopharyngeus

24
Q

The esophagus crosses the level of the diaphragm at what spinal level?

A

T10

25
Q

Muscle mix of upper 5% of esophagus

involuntary smooth muscle

28
Q

Innervation of esophagus

A

The opening to the omental bursa/lesser sac is called the _____

A

epiploic foramen
