ANS - Exam 3
Neuroanatomy - ANS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Primary control center of ANS | hypothalamus |
| ANS input from | cortex is largely conveyed to hypothalamus via the amygdala |
| pupillary constriction centers in | midbrain |
| micturition centers in | pons |
| cardiac & pulmonary centers in | medulla |
| heart afferents | vagal & glossopharyngeal from carotid body & sinus to solitary nucleus |
| Pain with sympathetics | T1-T4 on left |
| Control centers in medulla react to input from | hypothalamus & baro- & chemo-receptors |
| Parasympathetics | dorsal motor X |
| parasympathetics pass to | ganglion cells |
| ganglion cells innervate primarily | nodes slowing the heart |
| sympathetics T1-T4 reach heart directly from | chain or ascending then descedning as cardiopulmonary splanchnic nn. |
| parasympathetics cause | erection |
| sympathetics cause | emission |
| somatic reflexes cause | ejaculation |
| bladder pain travels with | lumbar & pelvic splanchnics (ps) & ascends in the spinothalamic tract |
| bladder fullness | in wall with ps to spinothalamic tract |
| bladder fullness in | trigone with ps to dorsal columns |
| bladder parasympathetics cause | contraction of internal urethral sphincter & relaxation of detrusor |
| bladder somatic motor fibers from the | Onuf nucleus |
| Onuf nucleus contracts the | external sphinter via the perineal branch of the pudendal n. |
| Bladder cerebral control centers are in the | superior frontal gyrus |
| Bladder pontine centers | contract the external urethral sphincter & relax the external uretheral sphincter & contract the detrusor |
| Bladder low level distension stimulates | Onuf nucleus |
| High level distention inhibits | Onuf nucleus & sympathetic |
| Parkinson's disease | resting tremor |
| Parkinson's disease | difficulty initiation movement |
| Parkinson's disease due to | loss of dopaminergic neurons in substania nigra |
| Huntington's disease (Chorea) | inability to stop moving |
| Huntington's diease (Chorea) due to | genetic defect which causes cellular loss in the striatum (especially the caudate nucleus) |
| Hemiballismus | flailing of limbs on 1 side |
| Hemiballismus due to | damage to the subthalamic nucleus |
