Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System Supply to Organs
- Heart receives sympathetic supply from T1-T5 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Pericardium receives afferent pain supply from the phrenic nerve (C3-C5).
- Lungs receive sympathetic supply from T1-T5 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Visceral pleura receives no autonomic supply, while parietal pleura receives afferent pain supply from the phrenic and intercostal nerves.
Abdominal Organs
- Liver receives sympathetic supply from T6-T9 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen receive sympathetic supply from T6-T9 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Stomach and small intestine receive sympathetic supply from T8-T10 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Caecum and descending colon receive sympathetic supply from T10 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Transverse colon receives sympathetic supply from T11 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Descending colon receives sympathetic supply from T2-L1 and parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
Lower Abdominal Organs
- Sigmoid colon receives sympathetic supply from L2/3 and parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
- Rectum receives parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
- Anal canal receives parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
- Kidneys receive sympathetic supply from T10-L1 and parasympathetic supply from the vagus nerve.
- Suprarenal glands receive sympathetic supply from T6-L2 and no parasympathetic supply.
- Ureters receive sympathetic supply from T11-L2 and parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
- Bladder receives sympathetic supply from T11-L2 and parasympathetic supply from S2-4, with superior and inferior parts receiving different supplies.
- Urethra receives parasympathetic supply from S2-4.
