Cards

Term
where do motor activation signals enter ganglia?
Definition
through the white ramous communicans (myelinated)
Term

where does an impulse come from and where are the synaptic juntions for the stimulation of visceral structures of the cell wall?

 

Where does the post synaptic axon go?

Definition

it comes from the lateral horn and heads to the paraverterbral ganglia via the white ramus communicans

 

it exits via the grey communicans and innervates the visceral organ

Term

where is the lateral horn found?

 

what area serve what regions?

Definition

in the grey matter between T1 and L2

 

T1-T6 = head, upper limb, thorasic viscera (foregut)

T7-T11 = body wall, abdominal viscera (midgut)

T12-T2(3) = lower limb, pelvic viscera (hindgut)

 

Term

where are the synaptic juntions for the stimulation of lungs and heart (T1-T5)?

 

Where does the post synaptic axon go?

 

Where will any sensation return

Definition

it comes from the lateral horn and heads to the paraverterbral ganglia via the white ramus communicans

 

it exits the paraverterbral ganglia and goes straight to the organ needing innervation

 

Any sensation will come right back through the white ramus to the dorsal horn

Term

where are the synaptic juntions for the stimulation of abdominopelvic organs(T5-L2)?

 

Where does the post synaptic axon go?

 

Where will any sensation return

Definition

it comes from the lateral horn and heads to the subdiaphragmatic ganglia (far from verterbrae and shooting right through the paravertebral ganglia) via the white ramus communicans

 

it exits the subdiaphragmatic ganglia and makes a twisted journey along arteries until it reaches its organ (via pero-arterial plexus)

Term
what are the four things presynaptic sympathetic fibers can do within the sympathetic ganglia trunks
Definition

ascend

descend

synapse at level of entry

pass right through the paraverterbral ganglia and enter an addominopelvic splanchnic nerve

Term
where can you find parasympathetic presynaptic nerve bodies?  Where can you find their post synaptic ganglia?
Definition

C1-8 or S3-S4

In the wall of the organs they innervate

Term
sensation of ANS monitored viscus?
Definition

senations will not always reach consciousness

usually a dull or uncomfortable felling

does not arise from touch, temp, or cutting

 

when a pelvic organ is distended, visceral sensation returns via parasympathetic outflow pathway (via pelvic splanchnic nerves)

Term

Cumulus Oophorus 

Definition

The entire Ovum cell, including external surrounding structures (ie.. follicular cells and zona pellucida) is at one point refered to as the cumulus oophorus. 

Term

how is a trilaminar layer formed?

what forms next?

what's this stage called?

Definition

by migration of some epiblast cells (likely ectoderm) below their plane between the bilaminar layer via a "primitive streak". the middle layer becomes mesoderm

 

a furrow is formed anteriorly and it is becoming the neural crest

 

this is a nerula

Term
superior thoracic aperture and inferior thoraric aperture, which is dynamic, which is status.
Definition
the superior doesn't move and is a portal of entry for organs and vessels, therefore static.  the inferior borders the diagphragm and can expand and contract, therefore dynamic.
Term
what happens when the diagphragm contacts?
Definition
the thoracic cage descends and inspiration happens
Term
what happens when the diaphragm relaxes?
Definition
thoracic cage ascends and expiration happens
Term
three muscles of chest that are not thoracic muscles
Definition
serratus major anterior, pectoralis major and minor
Term
arterial blood flow of thoracic wall?
Definition
internal thoracic artery derived from the subclavian artery
Term

arterial blood flow of thoracic wall?

Definition
anterior thoracic vein orinated from the brachiocephalic vein
Term
what is the key to the pleural cavity's control over the lungs?
Definition
the negative pressure within the pleural space
Term
what do pneumo- and hemothorax refer to?
Definition

collapsing of the lung due to the presence of air in the pleural space or the presence of blood in the space.

 

must be drained via the costodiaghrag

Term
an "interloper muscle" that is not part of the thoracic muslce set but helps expand the rib cage
Definition
pectrolais minor.  can stabilize the shoulder and help expand the rib cage.  this is why people bend over when they are exhausted and are trying to catch their breath.
