Sphincter --> Relaxation




Detrusor --> Contraction

Genitals

Sympathetic --> Ejaculation




Parasympathetic --> Erection

The Baroreceptor reflex

When Arterial Pressure Increases --> Baroreceptors 9 and 10 afferents activate --> Medulla activates the Vagus (Efferent) to:




-Decrease the blood pressure


-inhibit the sympathetic system of the heart

Bainbridge Atrial Reflex

When Venous Pressure Increases --> Vagus activates the Tractus Solitarius Nucleus:




-inhibits the Parasympathetic Outflow


-Stimulates the Sympathetic System

In the Visual Reflex, the Retina is stimulated by light causing the Pupil to Constrict




What Nuclei are involved?

Pretectal nucleus


Edinger-Westphal Nucleus


Superior Colliculus


Ocular Muscles Nucleus

In the Accommodation Reflex, going from Far to Near, what are the steps?

Medial Rectal muscles activate to Medially rotate eyes --> Ciliary Muscles Constrict --> Zonular fibers pull --> the Lens thickens

Referred pain:


-Diaphragm


-Heart


-Esophagus


-Stomach


-Liver and Gallbladder


-Small Intestine


-Colon


-Urinary Bladder


-Kidney and Testis

-Diaphragm --> C4

-Heart --> T3/T4


-Esophagus --> T4/5


-Stomach --> T8


-Liver and Gallbladder --> T8-T11


-Small Intestine --> T10


-Colon --> T11


-Urinary Bladder --> T11-L1


-Kidney and Testis --> T10-L1

Horner's syndrome

Damage of the sympathetic nerve supply to the Head and Neck

Symptoms of Horner Syndrome

Constriction of Pupil (Miosis)


Drooping of the eyelid (ptosis)


Exophthalmos (Abnormal protrusion of eyeball)


anhydrous (Loss of sweating)


Vasodilation of skin Arterioles --> Redness



Central Horner's Syndrome

Damage to the Reticulospinal fibers of the CNS (1st Order Neuron)




Caused by Brain stem injuries:


-Tumors


-Multiple Sclerosis


-Vascular Lesions


-Syringobulbia

Signs of Central Horner's Syndrome

Contralateral Hyperesthesia of the body


Loss of sweating of 1/2 of the body

Preganglionic Horner's Syndrome

Damage to:


-cervical spinal cord (2nd neuron) --> Tumors or Syringomyelia




-Anterior roots (C8, T1) --> Lower brachial plexus palsy (Klampke's palsy)




-Cervical sympathetic chain --> Carcinoma of the apex of lung or Pancoast syndrome

Interruption of the fibers that run from pretectal nucleus to the Edinger-Westphal (Para) nuclei of the Oculomotor N. bilaterally
