it can 1. synapse with a ganglionic neuron in the same trunk ganglion, 2. ascend or descend the sympathetic trunk to synapse in another trunk ganglion or 3. pass through the trunk ganglion and emerge from the sympathetic trunk without synapsing

The answer: Synapse with a parasympathetic neuron in the same trunk ganglion

What are the 3 things that sympathetic preganglionic axon reaches a trunk ganglion?

Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach a trunk ganglion through three key pathways: (1) they may synapse directly with postganglionic neurons in the ganglion, (2) they can ascend or descend within the sympathetic trunk to synapse at a different ganglion, or (3) they may pass through the ganglion without synapsing and continue to target organs via splanchnic nerves. These pathways enable the sympathetic nervous system to coordinate responses throughout the body effectively.


Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra?

Preganglionic sympathetic axons leave the spinal cord throughout the thoracic spine and the upper lumber spine (T1-L2).These preganglionic sympathetic axons exit the spinal canal within the anterior primary ramus and then quickly separate to travel via the white ramus communicans to the ipsilateral sympathetic trunk.


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.


Which sympathetic fibers form the splanchnic nerve?

Sympathetic fibers that originate from the spinal cord levels T5-L2 form the splanchnic nerves. These fibers pass through the sympathetic chain ganglia without synapsing and project to the abdominal and pelvic viscera to regulate their functions.


Why sympathetic trunk is called trunk?

The sympathetic trunk is called a "trunk" because it serves as a major conduit for sympathetic nerve fibers that run along each side of the vertebral column, resembling a tree trunk from which branches extend. It acts as a central pathway for the sympathetic nervous system, facilitating communication between the spinal cord and peripheral targets. This anatomical structure is crucial for coordinating the body's involuntary responses to stress and maintaining homeostasis.


What ramus branches that belong to the sympathetic nervous system?

The sympathetic nervous system branches include the sympathetic trunk and the splanchnic nerves. The sympathetic trunk contains the sympathetic ganglia, which are responsible for sending signals to various target organs in the body. The splanchnic nerves innervate the abdominal organs and play a role in regulating their function.


Gray rami communicantes connect to what two structures?

White rami communicantes (sing. ramus communicans) are literally white branches of communication between each spinal nerve and the sympathetic trunk. Their color is white because these lines of communication contain mainly myelinated nerve fibers of pre-ganglionic general visceral efferents from the spinal cord. Many of the pre-ganglionic nerve fibers synapse at the corresponding spinal segment level, and thus build a sympathetic ganglion at that level. Other pre-ganglionic white fibers either ascend or descend in the sympathetic trunk before synapsing in sympathetic ganglia above or below the spinal segment of origin. The sympathetic ganglia are literally knots in the sympathetic cord primarily containing cell bodies of the post-ganglionic neurons, whose axons are unmyelinated and gray in color. These unmyelinated post-ganglionic nerve fibers rejoin the spinal nerve at that level via the gray rami communicantes,as well as ascending or descending to adjacent levels. The white rami may also contain lightly myelinated sympathetic afferents whose cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglia synapse in the dorsal horn gray of the spinal cord. ANSWER: Carry preganglionic axons to the sympathetic chain


How does an elephant trunk help obtain food?

It reaches up to a tree and it brings down food, or reaches down and takes water; the trunk puts food in its mouth.


What is a knot-like swelling in a nerve where the cell bodies of neurons are concentrated?

Paravertbral ganglia (aka sympathetic trunk ganglia)


Which nerves supply sympathetic fibres to the heart?

Sympathetic fibers to the heart are primarily supplied by the cardiac branches of the sympathetic trunk, which originate from the cervical and upper thoracic spinal segments (T1-T5). Specifically, the superior, middle, and inferior cardiac nerves arise from the cervical sympathetic ganglia and provide sympathetic innervation to the heart, influencing heart rate and contractility. These fibers release norepinephrine, which enhances cardiac output during times of stress or increased activity.


How to open a conv top for a Mercedes clk 430 manually?

To open a convertible top for a Mercedes CLK 430 manually, open the trunk. There is a switch located in the trunk if the driver's switch fails. The switch is located in the far reaches of the trunk next to where the top and the trunk meet.


Which structure is innervated only by the sympathetic division of the ANS?

The muscles of the ciliary body and dilator pupillae of the eye are innervated only by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
