What is a ganglion
Collection of neuron cell bodies outside CNS
What does motor innervation do?
Sends instructions from the CNS to the muscles and glands
What does sensory innervation do?

What neuron is this
Motor

What neuron is this
Sensory
What is a neuron
Entire nerve cell
What is a nerve
Bundle of axons that have left the CNS to join the PNS

What is yellow
Sensory neuron

What is pink
Motor neuron
What does somatic innervation concern?
Body wall (skeletal muscle and skin)
What does visceral innervation concern?
Internal organs (heart)

Blank yellow box
Hypaxial dermamyotome
Which root do motor pathways go through?
Ventral root
Which root does sensory go through
Dorsal
What are roots made up of?
Either sensory or motor
What are rami made up of?
Mixture of sensory and motor
Where are cell bodies located?
Ventral horn of spinal cord gray matter
How many neurons connect the CNS to the target tissue for visceral motor innervation
Two
What are visceral structures in the body wall?
Sweat glands, arrector pili, smooth muscle in skin and vessel walls
What are the the components of visceral innervation
Sympathetic, parasympathetic, enteric innervation
What are the exceptions to the rule that nearly all the of the visceral r=structures on the body receieve sympathetic innervation only
External genitalia
Where are preganglionic cell bodies for sympathetics?
T1-L2 only
Where is the location for preganglionic cell bodies for parasympathetics?
Brain or in the S2-S4 levels of the spinal cord
Where are preganglionic cell bodies?
Lateral horn of spinal cord gray matter
Where do preganglionic axons exit the spinal cord?
Ventral root
Where are postganglionic cell bodies found?
Paravertebral ganglia
How do the preganglionic axons reach the postganglionic?
White rami communicantes
Where does the synapse between pre and post ganglionic occur?
Paravertebral ganglion
How do post ganglionic axons return to the ventral ramus?
Gray rami communicantes
What are gray rami only used for?
To return to the body wall
How are 14 spinal cord levels (T1-L2) able to supply sweat glands for 31
dermatomes?
The sympathetic trunk is used as a pathway that lets levels T1-L2 share their preganglionic axons with somites at every level.
