Anatomy- Autonomic Nervous System Long Questions 1st Year PMU

The pelvic splanchnic nerves primarily carry [blank_start]preganglionic parasympathetics[blank_end] the [blank_start]inferior hypogastric[blank_end] plexus

The pathway of parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal gland is as follows: CN VII- A. [blank_start]Greater Petrosal Nerve[blank_end]; nerve of the pterygoid canal B. [blank_start]Pterygopalatine ganglion[blank_end]; zygomatic branch of V2 C. [blank_start]Lacrimal branch of V1[blank_end].

Parasympathetic and taste fibers from the chorda tympani reach their destination via [blank_start]lingual nerve[blank_end]

The ciliary muscle is supplied by the [blank_start]Occulomotor Nerve[blank_end]

The parasympathetic division uses filters on the [blank_start]Vagus[blank_end] nerve to reach the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas.

Preganglionic parasympathetic neurons of the glossopharyngeal nerve synapse in the [blank_start]Optic Ganglion[blank_end], which sends out postganglionic neurons to innervate the parotid gland.

The “fight or flight” response is due primarily to the activation of [blank_start]sympathetic[blank_end] nerves.

Stimulating the vagus nerve will [blank_start]decrease[blank_end] heart rate via increasing the effect of [blank_start]parasympathetic[blank_end] tone.
