Question:

Autonomic nervous system ENG 1 - Sympathetic routes

Response:

The animation shows the route of the sympathetic innervation to certain target organs. The synapse takes place in a ganglion in the sympathetic trunk (= a paravertebral ganglion), at the level of entry into the sympathetic trunk, or higher or lower (not shown), after which the spinal nerve is reached via the grey ramus communicans. The stimulus is then further conducted through the posterior and anterior ramus of the spinal nerve. Which target organs / target organ are involved?

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
Adrenal medulla.
Thoracic organs: heart, lungs, airways, esophagus.
Blood vessels, sweat glands, arrector muscles of hairs of the skin (goosebumps), dilator pupillae (pupil-dilating muscle).
Abdominal organs: liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, intestines and pelvic organs: rectum, bladder, uterus, prostate and external genitalia.

Question:

Autonomic nervous system ENG 9 - Dissection view

Response:

Here you see a dissection specimen of the abdomen. The abdominal organs have been removed so the aorta and the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) can be examined. Neural structures that lie on the anterior side of the aorta are indicated at a number of locations along the aorta. Which structures are they? The photo is a still image from the video 'Anatomy on the table: innervation of the viscera - abdomen' from the MOOC 'Anatomy of the Abdomen and Pelvis' from the department of Anatomy & Embryology at the LUMC, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYn5HBCHOQQ&list=PLzugOrS2Z8opb0FR1eJMVcy8_p-wRMPET

Question:

Autonomic nervous system 10 - Dissection

Response:

Here you can see a dissection of the inside of the thorax. Heart and lungs have been removed. The aortic arch with its three main branches and the trachea and main bronchi and esophagus can be seen (marked "oes."). On either side (with white arrows) a long nerve is indicated that crosses over the subclavian artery, releases a branch (indicated by gray arrows), on the left around the aortic arch, on the right around the subclavian artery, and then continues behind the trachea (actually behind the lung hilum, but the remaining structures in it have been removed) and finally runs to the esophagus. There it forms a plexus, but it is no longer present in this preparation. Which nerve is it?

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
The phrenic nerve
The sympathetic trunk
Thoracic splanchnic nerves
The vagus nerve
