Term
Which cranial nerves have parasympathetics? Which spinal nerves?
Definition
Occulomotor, Facial, Glossopharangeal, Vagus, Accessory (Cr3,7,9,10,11)
S2,3,&4
Term
What are the parasympathetic nucleus and ganglion for occulomotor? What do the fibers innervate?
Definition
Edinger Westfall Nucleus (midbrain) and Ciliary ganglion

Pupillary sphincter & ciliary m.
Term
What are the parasympathetic nuclei and ganglia for facial? What do the fibers innervate?
Definition
Superior salivary and lucuma nuclei (pons) and pterygopalantine (via greater petrosal n.) and submandibular ganglia (via chorda tymani n joining lingual n.)

Pterygopalantine; lacrimal gland nasal and oral mucosa
Submandibular; submandibular and sublingual glands
[note: see plate 130]
Term
What are the parasympathetic nucleus and ganglion for glossopharangeal? What do the fibers innervate?
Definition
Inf salivary nucleus (medulla) and the otic ganglion.

Parotid gland.
Term
Parasympathetic causes _________ of pupils and _______ of blood vessels? (generally)
Definition
Constriction, dialation
Term
Sympathetic causes _________ of pupils and ________ of blood vessels? (generally)
Definition
Dialation, constriction
Term
Splancnic nerves pass through the _________ and continue to reach their ________ ganglia.
Definition
sympathetic trunk (without synapsing), preaortic/prevertebral (along abdominal aorta)
Term
Name the four largest sympathetic ganglia from top to bottom. Which ones have white and which have grey communicans?
Definition
1. Superior cervical ganglion - gray
2. Middle cervical ganglion - gray
3. Vertebral ganglion - gray
4. Cervicothoracic ganglion - white and gray
Term
How do sympathetic fibers get higher than the sup. cervical ganglion?
Definition
By following branches of the carotid.
Term
Horners syndrome is caused by? Results in?
Definition
Lesion to sympathetic flow to head. Results in droopy eyelid, contracted pupil, and loss of sweating, and vasodilatation, all on the ipsilateral side.
(Think of sympathetic as opening all the stuff in your face up; eyelid, pupil, pores... basically redbull for the face)
Term
Path for sympathetic innervation to lower than L2.
Definition
Lateral horn cell body of (typically) L2 -> ventral root -> spinal nerve -> white ramus communicans -> sympathetic trunk -> to lower ganglion of sympathetic trunk [synapse] -> grey ramus communicans ->back to spinal nerve -> dorsal or ventral ramus
Term
All autonomics have two cell bodies, one in CNS from neural ectoderm and the other in PNS from neural crest, except?
Definition
Autonomics to the adrenal medulla use a one neuron pathway. (The adrenal medulla is derived from neural crest and can be thought of as a big postganglionic neuron in a developmental sense).
Term
Sympathetic origin on spinal cord?
Definition
Grey matter lateral horn of T1-L2
Term
Where does the vagus nerve send parasympathetic fibers, and where are the ganglia?
Definition
It sends para fibers to the vicera of the thorax, foregut, & midgut. It's ganglia are called terminal ganglia and are typically in the wall of the organ innervated.
Term
What do the sacral parasympathetics innervate.
Definition
The hindgut that the vagus doesn't get. Also referred to as the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
Term
How do para fibers from the glosspharyngeal get to the otic ganglion?
Definition
Inf. salivatory nucleus-> glossopharangeal-> tympanic nerve ->tympanic plexus (inner surface)->lesser petrosal-> otic
