|
where is the origin of the sympathetic nervous system?
|
The cell bodies originate in the intermediolateral cell columns (IML) which are a part of the gray matter between T1 and L2-L3.
|
|
|
Another name for the intermediolateral cell columns?
|
lateral horns
|
|
|
Where is the superior cervical ganglion located?
|
at the base of the skull
|
|
|
Where does the ganglion impar form?
|
inferiorly where the two (right and left) trunks unite at the level of the coccyx
|
|
|
Traumatic injury to chest wall
|
MVA's blunt trauma rib FX. Rare in children (elastic). In adults = break at weakest point (angle) = injury to internal organs = pneuomothorax, hemothorax, spleen and liver injuy
|
|
|
Thoracic cage distortion
|
congenital, degenerative, arthritic changes, scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis
|
|
|
Costochondritis, arthritis
|
?
|
|
|
Cervical ribs
|
rib rising from C7 (.5%) = brachial plexus compression, subclavian artery compression
|
|
|
lumbar ribs
|
more common than cervical. Have clinical significance in that they may confuse the identification of vertebral levels in radiographs and other images. In addition, a lumbar rib may be erroneously interpreted as a fractured transverse process of L1
|
|
|
fail chest
|
due to multiple rib fx leading to paradoxical chest movement (I.e. inward with inspiration and outward with expiration); impairs ventilation
