1
Q

fibers innervating smooth m, cardiac m, glands

2
Q

major divisions of the ANS?

initial cell body: T1-L2

4
Q

which type of ganglia is this?

A

sympathetic ganglia

5
Q

what can postsynaptic nerve fibers do in sympathetic system?

A

first symapse at presynaptic entrance level then can

1) leave trunk at that level in gray ramus to reach spinal nerve or organ
2) synapse at a higher level and go to head, viscera

branch of trigeminal n

the 3 other roots - sensory, sympathetic, motor - travel w/ this to target organ

24
Q

fiber types of trigeminal n CN V

A

SVE

GSA

25
Q

how can something be transmitted to a branch of CN V, trigeminal n, without being a part of CN V, trigeminal n?

CN V is used to convey postganglionic autonomic fibers, besides having its own innervating SVE/GSA fibers

so motor root, sensory root, sympathetic roots of parasympathetic ganglion all travel along branch of CN V; it serves as the distribution root
