Effects of vagal n. stimulation on pancrease
increases pancreatic juices
stimulate bile production
headache (due to interchange w/somatic innervation in neck)

Lesser splanchnic n., superior mesentaric ganglion
pancrease, duodenum -> 2/3 transverse colon
sympathetic innervation of lower GI tract
T12-L2
least splanchnic n. (T12) & lumbar splanchnic (L1-L2), inferior mesentaric ganglion
distal 1/3 transverse colon, rectum, pelvic organs
effects of increased sympathetic tone on GI tract
decreased O2 & nutrient delivery to tissues -> bowel angina & ischemic bowel
decreased peristalsis
relaxation of gallbladder & ducts
Sympathetic dominant GI complaints
constipation
abdominal pain (from ileus, etc)
flatulence
distension
parasympathetic upper GI tract innervation
Vagus Nerve - lower 2/3 esophogus to mid-transverse colon
left: greater curvature of stomach & pyloric sphincter
right: upper GI tract, liver, gallbladder, right 1/2 colon, lesser curvature of stomach (i.e. everything else)
Parasympathetic innervation of lower GI tract
pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-4)
innervates left colon & pelvis
effects of increases parasympathetic tone on GI activity
increases acid secretion
contraction of gallbladder & ducts
Peristalsis (I.e. sprue & diarrhea)
parasympathetic dominant GI complaints
nausea & vomiting
diarrhea
hypermotility related to cramping pain
innervation of the pelvic diaphragm
