Question
Answer
Presynaptic Sympathetic fibers to the Head and neck come from   IML T1-T5  
🗑
Presynaptic sympathetic axon pathways to get up to the neck   IML, Anterior root, white rami communicans, paravertebral sympathetic chain, move upwards into cervical region.  
🗑
Superior Cervical ganglia is made up of what   The sympathetic ganglia from C1-4 all grouped together. This is the largest ganglia, does the head.  
🗑
How do postsynaptic sympathetic axons travel to their target organ?   On Blood vessels such as Periarterial plexus (carotids). Also use CN V  
🗑
End organs of the Superior Cervical ganglia   1.Dilator pupillae M (dilates pupil, CN V). 2.Superior Tarsal M (elevates eyelid, CN V). 3.Blood vessels (Vasoconstriction). 4.Sweat glands (diaphoresis).  
🗑
Horner's Syndrome   Produced by a lesion anywhere in the sympathetic pathway to the head. Symptoms will be ipsilateral of the lesion and reverse the normal sympathetic effects.  
🗑
Pathways of Postsynpatic Cervical sympathetic Ganglia axons   After synapsing, they leave the sympathetic chain via GREY RAMI communicanas onto spinal nerves. Actions: Blood vessel constriction, Diaphoresis.  
🗑
Presynaptic neurons of the Parasympathetics for the head and neck   Cells are in the Brainstem. Axons travel to target ganglia on CN  
🗑
Pathway of Ciliary ganglia parasympathetics   Brainstem > Presynp axons: CN III > Postsynp nucleus: Ciliary Ganglion > Postsynp axons: CN V1 (short ciliary N)  
🗑
Targets of Ciliary parasympathetic ganglia   1.Sphincter Pupallae M (constricts the pupil). 2.Ciliary Body (Provides Accommodation)  
🗑
Accomodatoin   Allows the eye to quickly adjust from near to far or far to near and stay in focus. **Decreases with age.  
🗑
Pathways of Pterygopalatine Ganglion parasympathetics   Brainstem > Presynp axons: CN VII > Nervus intermedius > Greater Petrosal N > N to Pterygoid > Postsynp nucleus: Pterygopalatine ganglion > postsynp axons: CN V1 and V2  
🗑
Targets of Pterygopalatine parasympathetic Ganglion   1.Lacrimal gland (keeps the eye moist with tears). 2.Mucous Glands/membranes in Naso/oropharynx and sinuses  
🗑
Pathways of Submandibular Ganglion parasympathetics   Presynp nucleus: Brainstem > presynp axons: CN VII > Nervus Intermedius > Chondra Tympani > Lingual > Postsynp nucleus: Submandibular ganglion > Postsynp axons: CN V3 (Lingual N) and blood vessels  
🗑
Targets of the Submandibular parasympathetic Ganglion   1.Submandibular gland. 2.Sublingual gland.  
🗑
Lesion/severed Chondra Tympani   Loss of taste on anterior 2/3 of tongue and salivary gland activity  
🗑
Locations of the CN VII ganglia   Pterygopalatine: (Pterygopalatine fossa, just superioposterior to nasal conchae after the foramen rotundum). Submandibular: (superior to submandibular gland  
🗑
Pathway of Otic ganglion parasympathetics   Presynp Nucleus: Brainstem > Presynp axons: CN IX > Tympanic N > Lesser Petrosal N > Postsynp nucleus: Otic ganglion > postsynp axons: CN V3 Auriculotemporal N  
🗑
Targets and location of Otic parasympathetic ganglion   Located just inferior to foramen ovale. Targets: Parotid gland.  
🗑
CN V branches carrying postsynp parasympathetic pterygopalatine axons   1. CN V2 (Zygomatic N to the lacrimal gland, Palatine N to palate and nosal mucous membranes). 2.CN V1 (Lacrimal N to lacrimal gland, Nasal N to the nasopharynx mucous membrane and sinuses)  
🗑
Symp branches using CN V   Superior cervical Ganglion/Periarterial Plexus use V1, V2, and V3 branches  
🗑
Parasymp and symp acting on the Orbit   Parasymp: 1.CN III/Ciliary gnaglion (constrict pupil/ ciliary body). 2.CN VII/Pterygopalatine ganglion (Lacrimal gland). Sympathetic: Superior cervical ganglion (dilate pupils, elevate eyelids, vasoconstrict).  
🗑
Parasymp and symp acting on the Nasal Cavity   Parasymp: CN VII/pterygopalatine ganglion (mucous membranes, mucous production). Sympathetic: Superior cervical ganglion (vasoconstriction)  
🗑
Parasymp and symp acting on Parotid gland   Parasymp: CN IX/otic ganglion (parotid salivation). Sympathetics: Superior cervical ganglion (Reduce secretion, vasoconstrict)  
🗑
