3 Questions
Which pathway describes the innervation of visceral organs?
Axons enter the sympathetic chain and either ascend or descend to pass through a paravertebral ganglion at another level and exit on a splanchnic nerve to synapse in a prevertebral ganglion
Which pathway describes the innervation of blood vessels and glands in the skin?
Axons enter the sympathetic chain, synapse in the paravertebral ganglion, and exit on the spinal nerve at the same level
Which statement accurately describes the innervation of blood vessels and glands in the skin?
Axons can enter the sympathetic chain, synapse in the paravertebral ganglion, and exit on the spinal nerve at the same level
Study Notes
Innervation of Visceral Organs and Skin
- The innervation of visceral organs occurs through the visceral motor pathway.
- The innervation of blood vessels and glands in the skin occurs through the somatic motor pathway.
- The somatic motor pathway is responsible for the innervation of blood vessels and glands in the skin, controlling functions such as vasodilation and sweat gland secretion.
Test your knowledge on the innervation of blood vessels, glands, and visceral organs in the skin and body. Learn about the pathways of axons, sympathetic chain, paravertebral ganglia, and spinal nerves.
