Where are pre-sympathetic cell bodies located
intermediolateral cell column of T1-L2
What is the pathway of sympathetic axons
exit via anterior roots
go to spinal nerve
then to white rami communicans
to paravertebral ganglia
Once pre-synaptic sympathetic axons reach paravertebral ganglia, what 4 things might it do?
1.synapse and exit
2. ascend, synapse, and exit
3. descend, synapse, and exit
4. exit without synapsing
Post-synaptic sympathetic axons exit how when reaching somatic targets?
gray ramus where the travel in the anterior or posterior rami
Post-synaptic sympathetic axons exit how when reaching thoracic viscera?
via splanchnic cardiopulmonary n. where it joins the cardiopulmonary plexus
Where are presynaptic parasympathetic axons located?
dorsal vagal motor nuclei
What is the pathway of parasympathetic fibers reaching the heart?
1.descend via vagus nerves
2.join the cardiopulmonary plexus
3.synapse with post-synaptic axons in wall of heart and bronchi
4. SHORT post-synaptic axons extend to myocardium, smooth m., or glands
Where are parasympathetic nicotinic receptors located and what NT do they bind?
Ach, and they are located in ganglia
Where are parasympathetic muscarinic receptors located and what NT do they bind?
Ach, located on effector organ
Where are the sympathetic nicotinic receptors located and what NT do they bind?
Ach, located in ganglion
NE, located in adrenal medulla
Visceral non-painful stimuli travel backwards via?
parasympathetic nerves to CNS
Pathway for visceral pain stimuli
cardiopulmonary plexus
cardiopulmonary splanchnic n.
paravertebral ganglia
white ramus
spinal n.
posterior root
posterior horn of SC
What is the basis for referred pain?
some collateral axons from visceral afferent axons synapse on nearby 2nd order somatic afferent cells, which causes confusion in the brain
