What else can I help you with?
Are nerve fibers in ascending tracts myelinated?
If I was paying attention in med school, I think... The pre-ganglionic fibers are myelinated and the post-ganglionic are unmyelinated. This is in reference to the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
The preganglionic fibers that connect a spinal nerve with an autonomic ganglion in the thoracic and lumbar region of the spinal cord and carries visceral motor fibers that are myelinated form the?
The preganglionic fibers that connect a spinal nerve with an autonomic ganglion in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord are part of the sympathetic nervous system. These fibers originate from the lateral horns of the spinal cord and are myelinated, allowing for rapid signal transmission. They typically travel through the ventral roots and enter the sympathetic chain or prevertebral ganglia to synapse with postganglionic neurons.
What nerves supply the innervation of the bladder and the internal sphincter?
The bladder is innervated by the parasympathetic fibers of the pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-S4) which stimulate contraction of the detrusor muscle. The internal urethral sphincter is innervated by sympathetic fibers from the hypogastric nerve, which cause it to contract and prevent urine leakage.
What are sympathetic nerve paths?
Sympathetic nerve paths are part of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response. These nerve pathways originate in the spinal cord and branch out to various organs and tissues in the body to help respond to stress or danger by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and redirecting blood flow.
What are teased nerve fibers?
Teased nerve fibers are nerve fibers that have been carefully dissected and separated for study under a microscope. This technique allows researchers to examine the individual components and structures of a nerve fiber in detail.
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 nerves innervate the heart?
vagus nerve and sympathetic fibers
What branch of spinal nerve only contain autonomic fibers?
The branch of the spinal nerve that contains only autonomic fibers is the rami communicantes. These are divided into the white rami communicantes, which carry preganglionic sympathetic fibers to the sympathetic ganglia, and the gray rami communicantes, which carry postganglionic sympathetic fibers back to the spinal nerve. These branches are essential for the autonomic nervous system's regulation of involuntary functions.
Is mydriasis parasympathetic or sympathetic?
the parasympathetic fibers of the cranial nerve number three.
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.
The nerve fibers that stimulate secretions from cells of the adrenal medulla are best described as?
sympathetic
Which division of the autonomic nervous system is involved in secreting norepinephrine via adrenergic nerve fibers?
Sympathetic nervous system .
Does the white rami communicans contain fibers of a preganglionic or postganglionic neurons?
Preganglionic because they are myelinated. FALSE
Where do epidural opioids work?
The anesthetic agents that are infused through the small catheter block spinal nerve roots in the epidural space and the sympathetic nerve fibers adjacent to them.
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.
Are nerve fibers in ascending tracts myelinated?
If I was paying attention in med school, I think... The pre-ganglionic fibers are myelinated and the post-ganglionic are unmyelinated. This is in reference to the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
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
