Long:short

|
For a paravertebral sympathetic fiber innervating the viscera, describe its path, starting in the lateral horn of the gray matter.
|
Starts in lateral horn of gray matter in T1-L2, then ventral root to spinal nerve to white rami communicantes, synapse in the ganglion, then out the splanchnic nerve (past the ganglion) to the viscera
|
|
|
What is different between the paravertebral and prevertebral sympathetic fibers innervating the viscera?
|
It travels the same path as a paravertebral fiber, except it does not synapse in the sympathetic trunk. Rather, it synapses in a ganglion closer to the viscera it acts on.
|
|

What is the parasympathetic innervation of the heart?
|
Vagus (X)
