Questions and Answers
Which pathway describes the innervation of visceral organs?
Which pathway describes the innervation of visceral organs?
- Axons enter the sympathetic chain and either ascend or descend to synapse in a paravertebral ganglion and exit on the spinal nerve
- 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 (correct)
- Axons enter the sympathetic chain, synapse in the paravertebral ganglion, and exit on the spinal nerve at the same level
- Axons enter the sympathetic chain, the signal passes through the paravertebral ganglia at the same level, and then exits on a splanchnic nerve to synapse in a prevertebral ganglion

Which statement accurately describes the innervation of blood vessels and glands in the skin?
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 (correct)

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.
