craniosacral outflow
Parasympathetic nervous system (craniosacral outflow)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Most Preganglionic fibers orginiate where? | in brain nuclei (esp. brain stem) |
| Where do preganglionic fibers exit thru? | cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X and a small amount via XI |
| Other preganglionic fibers orginate and exit where? | in lateral gray horns of sacral spinal segmments 2-4 and exit anterior root of spinal nerve |
| All ________ outflow ends in the terminal ganglia in or near effector organ | Parasympathetic preganglionic |
| sacral outflow forms | pelvic (pelvic splanchnic) nerves |
| pelvic splanchnic nerves synapse in | hypogastric ganglion |
| Post ganglionic fibers to effector organs in | Colon, ureters, bladder, reproductive organs |
| Cranial Nerve III (OCulomotor)- preganglionic fibers to | ciliary ganglion |
| Cranial Nerve III post ganglionic fibers to | ciliary muscle and pupillary sphincter |
| Cranial Nerve VII (facial) some preganglionic fibers to | sphenopalatine (pterygopalatine) ganglion, postganglionic fibers to lacrimal gland or nasal musoca |
| Cranial Nerve VII (facial) other preganglionic fibers to | submandibular ganglion (submaxillary ganglion) then postganglionic fibers to submaxillary and sublingual salivary glands |
| Cranial Nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) | preganglionic fibers to otic ganglion then postganglionic fibers to parotid salivary gland |
| Cranial Nerve XI (accessory)has a small amount of outflow that joins | vagal outflow |
| Cranial Nerve X (vagus) | most important outflow 80% of total |
| Parasympathetic Outflow - goes to many structures in the | thorax, abdomen ( usually preganglionic fibers ((parasympathetic)) synapse w/ few postgang fibers, most or all going to same organ. ) little widespread stimulation. |
