23
Q

What are the sympathetic prevertebral ganglia within the abdomen?

Study These Flashcards
A

Celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, aorticorenal ganglia

24
Q

What is the pacemaker of the heart?

25
What is the pathway of intrinsic nerve supply to the heart?
SA node--> AV node--> AV bundle of HIs--> left and right bundle branches--> purkinje fibers
26
Sympathetic innervation of the heart originates in what spinal levels of IMLCC?
T1-T5
27
Which nerves provide a direct route from sympathetic chain ganglia to the heart?
Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nn.
28
What nerves provide an indirect route for sympathetics from cervical sympathetic ganglia?
Superior, middle, and inferior cardiac nn.
29
What provides parasympathetic innervation of the heart? What is the location of cell bodies?
Vagus- dorsal motor nucleus of X
30
What GVA fibers course with sympathetics? Which GVA fibers course with parasympathetics?
Pain; Reflexes, nausea, hunger
31
Where are the postsynaptic cell bodies of parasympathetic innervation to the heart located?
Within the walls of the heart
32
What fibers are contained within the cardiac plexus
Postganglionic sympathetics, preganglionic parasympathetics, GVAs from the heart
33
What are the effects of sympathetic innervation to the heart?
Increased rate and strength of contraction, dilation of coronary vessels
34
What are the effects of sympathetic innervation to the lungs?
Bronchodilation, reduction in bronchial secretions
35
What are the effects of parasympathetic innervation to the heart?
Decreases rate and strength of contraction; constriction of coronary vessels
36
What are the the effects of parasympathetic innervation to the lungs?
Bronchoconstriction; stimulation of bronchial secretions
37
From what spinal cord segments of the IMLCC do sympathetics innervating the abdomen originate?
T5-L2
38
What supplies parasympathetic innervation to the abdomen and pelvis?
Vagus and Pelvic splanchnics
39
What are the sympathetic functions within the abdomen?
Inhibition of peristalsis, vasoconstriction, increased sphincter tone, release of adrenaline into bloodstream
40
What are the parasympathetic functions within the abdomen?
Stimulation of peristalsis, increased digestive secretions, decreased sphincter tone
41
Which splanchnic nerves are parasympathetic?
Pelvic splanchnics
42
What spinal cord segments give rise to the greater splanchnic n.?
T5-T9; celiac ganglion
43
What spinal cord segments give rise to the lesser splanchnic n.? Where does it synapse?
T10-T11; superior mesenteric ganglion
44
What spinal cord segments give rise to the Least splanchnic n.? Where does it synapse?
T12; aorticorenal ganglion
45
What nerves are contained within the greater splanchnic?
myelinated, preganglionic GVE fibers, and GVA fibers
46
Before synapsing on the celiac ganglion the greater splanchic sends off a branch that synapses on what? What is the effect of this innervation?
Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla; secretion of epinephrine
47
What are the contents of the celiac plexus?
Celiac ganglion, preganglionic sympathetics (greater splanchnic), GVAs (greater splanchnic), postganglionic sympathetics, preganglionic parasympathetics (vagus n)
48
What are the contents of the superior mesenteric plexus?
Superior mesenteric ganglion, preganglionic sympathetics (lesser splanchnic), GVAs (lesser splanchnic), postganglionic sympathetics, preganglionic parasympathetics (vagus)
49
What are the contents of the inferior mesenteric plexus?
Inferior mesenteric ganglion, upper two lumbar splanchnics (pregang. symp and GVA), Postganglionic sympathetics
50
What are the physical causes of visceral pain?
Sudden distention, strong contractions, ischemia
