What else can I help you with?
Which nerves contain the most parasympathetic preganglionic fibers a trigeminal b splanchnic c optic d vagus?
D. vagus. this is the largest Cranial nerve, carrying parasympathetic information to much of the body (ie. esophagus, GI tract, heart). parasympathetic fibers, unlike sympathetic fibers, do not synapse until they are pretty much on in or near the organ. So the vagus is made up of preganglionic parasympathetics.trigeminal contains somatic afferents, and somatic efferents. neither of these are visceral efferents (which could be para or sympathetic).wikipedia tells you correctly that splanchnic nerves are generally sympathetic autonomics, except for one spot.optic nerve is carrying Afferent sensory information Away from the eye.
What are the fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures are called?
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
What fibers are the sweat glands innervated by?
Sweat glands are innervated by adrenergic sympathetic nerve fibers from the autonomic nervous system. These fibers release norepinephrine, which stimulates the sweat glands to produce sweat.
What secretes norepinephrine adrenergic fibers?
Norepinephrine is mainly secreted by the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system, which are also known as adrenergic fibers. These fibers release norepinephrine in response to stress or arousal, helping to initiate the body's fight or flight response.
Are most innervated blood vessels receive only sympathetic nerve fibers?
No, most blood vessels are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers. However, sympathetic nerve fibers typically have a more pronounced effect on blood vessel activity compared to parasympathetic fibers.
What fibers are located in the white rami?
Sympathetic preganglionic.
Which division of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers?
The parasympathetic nervous system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers
Does the white rami communicans contain fibers of a preganglionic or postganglionic neurons?
Preganglionic because they are myelinated. FALSE
Is white rami exclusive to the sympathetic division of the ANS?
No, white rami are not exclusive to the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). While they are primarily associated with the sympathetic division, specifically as pathways for preganglionic sympathetic fibers to enter the sympathetic ganglia, similar structures exist in the parasympathetic division. However, the term "white rami" typically refers to the myelinated preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic system.
How would a drug that stimulates acetylcholine receptors affect the sympathetic nervous system?
Preganglionic fibers for the SNS release ACh; so a drug that stimulates ACh receptors would stimulate the postganglionic fibers of sypathetic nerves, resulting in increased sympathetic activity
What stimulates the adrenal medulla to secrete its excitatory hormones?
preganglionic sympathetic fibers releasing acetylcholine that bind to receptors on the adrenal medulla
Do the sympathetic fibers leave the CNS at the thoracolumbar region?
Yes, sympathetic fibers leave the central nervous system at the thoracolumbar region, specifically from the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord. These fibers then form the sympathetic trunk and travel to the target organs to regulate the body's fight-or-flight response.
Do the white communicating rami contain myelinated preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers and are present in all apinal nerves?
Yes and No. White communicating rami contain mylinated preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers, but are only present at the levels of spinal cord segments T1-L2 (where the cell bodies for these nerve fibers exist in the lateral horn of the spinal cord). Although the sympathetic fibers only arise in the T1-L2 spinal cord segments, they are dispersed to all spinal nerves by traveling through the sympathetic chain. The preganglionic sympathetic fibers will enter the sympathetic chain thru whit rami communicans and then do one of 4 things: 1. synapse with a postganglionic cell body in the sympathetic chain at the level it enters 2. ascend within the chain to synapse 3. descend within the chain to synapse 4. splanchnic nerves leave the chain without synapsing and synapse closer to the organ they innervate.There are, however, GRAY rami communicans for all spinal nerves.I hope that helps

could be preganglionic

Are preganglionic neurons made up of adrenergic fibers?
yes
