Q

Explain

A

The left circle represents the cell body of a neuron, it resides in the central nervous system and then send its axon out along one of these spinal nerves.
In the autonomic nervous system, it’s a two chain synpase.
Post ganglion will go to the target tissue. Ganglion is in the peripheral nervous system.

Q

Brainstem

A

Orgins of the neurons can be found here.
- brain stem is highly conserved across species.
- it controls basic functions like your heart rate, breathing, things that all organisms have to do

Q

What is the route of the sympathetic nervous system?

A

Preganglion fibres leave the spinal cord (white ramus) from T1 to L2, they synapse at a ganglion

Q

What is the sympathetic chain/trunk?

A
  • string of beads (looks like), post ganglion that go to the target organs
    1. Synpase at entry level
    2. Synapse above or below entry level
    3. Pass without synapsing and synapse at prevertebral ganglia or adrenal medulla

36

38
Paravertebral
- part of the sympathetic chain, where the postganglion sit and synpase -
39
Sympathetic paravertebral trunk overview
- both sides of spine, connected to a series of ganglion (nerve cell clusters) - part of the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) - highway for sending
40
Which type of nerves does the sympathetic paravertebral trunk carry?
part of the autonomic nervous system, sympathetic. - involuntary fight or flight, only for motor signals (sending signals from the brain to the organs, muscles and glands) - mostly motor
41
what are the C2 to C8 for?
For the peripheral distribution of ascending sympathetics
42
what are the L3-Co
For the peripheral distribution of descending sympathetics?
43
white ramus
- spinal nerve to the sympathetic ganglia - preganglionic motor signal - sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight)
44
Gray Ramus
From the sympathetic ganglia - postganglionic
45
What is the order of the sympathetic paravertebral trunk sequence of how a nerve travels?
1. White Ramus: carries signal from the spinal cord to the sympathetic ganglia. 2. now the signal in the ganglion can stay at the ganglion or travel up or down the sympathetic trunk (to another ganglion) 3. Gray Ramus: after being processed by the ganglion, carries it back to the spinal nerve. Travels to the target organ
46
What vertebral levels would you expect to find the white rami communicans?
White is bringing sympathetic fibers into the sympathetic paravertebral trunks. T1 to L2
47
What vertebral levels would you expect to find grey rami comunicans?
everywhere, all levels that you have spinal nerves
48
Paravertebral
paravertebral: on either side of the vertebral body (sympathetic chain)
49
prevertebral plexus
sits on the aorta and down on the sacrum
50
Visceral target in Abdominopelvic cavity
- come from lower levels T5-L2 - not going to synapse at the ganglion - can't ve considered grey ramus, own thing - call them abdomial and lumbar splanchnic nerve - these are still preganglionic so they have to synapse on the preganglionic synapses - our L2 comes into the sympathetic chain, goes way down and leaves without synapsing here
51
Adrenal gland
- sit on top of kidneys - core of it is called the adrenal medulla, it has special cells in it that release adrenaline and noradrenaline that stimulate your body when you need fight or flight response - synapse on the adrenal medulla cells -
52
Ways of travelling
- Sympathetic nerves that come at the sweat glands and go to target - go up or go down at the ganglion in the sympathetic chain - nerves that go to the abdomen and the pelvis and not synapse and leave via splanchnic nerve and synapse on the ganglion that sit on the aorta
53
Head/Neck
- sympathetics passing into the head have preganglion fibres emerging from the spinal cord at T1 - These fibres synapse in the superior cervical ganglion - fibres continue to travel along blood vessels (internal carotid artery) to targert tissues
54
superior, middle, and inferior cervical ganglia
- top one, located near teh base of the skull. helps control the eyes, face and blood vessels in the head. - middle of the neck, helps regulate the neck and blood vessels in the neck and upper chest - found in the bottom of the neck, helps control the heart, lungs and arms
55
Where does the innervation of the thoracic and cervical visera come from?
Levels T1 to T5
56
where is the paravertebral ganglion?
- at the sympathetic chain/trunk - prevertebral ganglion is outside
57
what are splanchnic nerves?
Preganglionic nerves, carry signals from the spinal cord to a ganglions in the stomach, intestines and kidneys. Post ganglion are located near or on the organs they control.
58
Sympathetic Nervous System
- dilates eyes, increases sweating, stop salivary glands
59
what is special about the adrenal medulla?
passing through the sympathetic trunk (chain) ganglion and then going directly to the medulla
60
Parasympathetic
CN III: Oculomotor nerve CN VII: Facial nerve CN IX: Glossopharyngeal nerve CN X: Vagus Nerve - synapse very close to the target structures
61
What does CN III do?
Oculomotor nerve, allow them to move the eye, close eyes
62
CN VII
are for your submanicular and sublingual gland, parasympathetic
63
glossopharyngeal nerve
parotid salivary gland, parasympathetic
64
CN X Vagus nerve
parasympathetic doesn't do anything in the head, it will leave and go to the heart and abdomen and ends at the transverse colon Sacral nerve will finish innervating the digestive tract where the vagus nerve left off
65
Length of parasympathetic and sympathetic
Sympathetic have short preganglionic fibres and long post Parasympathetic have long preganglionic and short postganglionic
66
Visceral sensory receptors for
- General visceral receptors monitor stretch, temperature, chemical changes and irritation within the visceral organs - The brain interprets this information as feelings of hunger, fullness, pain and nausea
67
where are the cell bodies of visceral organs found
cells bodies are found in the dorsal root ganglia and in the sensory ganglia of the cranial nerves
68
a
greater splanchnic
69
b
lesser planchnic nerve
70
c
least splanchnic
71
d
lumbar splanchnic
72
e
sacral splanchnic
