    Study Notes

    Viscerosomatic Reflexes

    • T1-T5 corresponds to the heart.
    • T2-T7 is for the lungs.
    • T2-T9 is associated with the upper GI tract.
    • T2-T8 corresponds to the esophagus.
    • T5-T9 covers both the stomach and duodenum.
    • T9-L2 is relevant for the mid and lower GI tract.
    • T9-T11 is designated for the small intestine and ascending colon.
    • T8-L2 encompasses the transverse colon through to the rectum.
    • T10-L2 includes the genitourinary (GU) tract, ureter, bladder, urethra, and lower extremities.

    Specific Reflexes by Vertebral Levels

    • T1 may indicate the heart.
    • T2 can reflect the heart, lungs, or esophagus.
    • T3 is linked with the heart, lungs, or esophagus.
    • T4 may involve the heart, lungs, or esophagus.
    • T5 could indicate the heart, lungs, esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.
    • T6 relates to the lungs, esophagus, stomach, or duodenum.
    • T7 mirrors the reflexes of T6.
    • T8 integrates the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and transverse colon through the rectum.
    • T9 might involve the stomach, duodenum, small intestine through the ascending colon, and transverse colon through the rectum.
    • T10 spans the small intestine through the ascending colon, transverse colon through the rectum, GU tract, and lower extremities.

    GU Tract and Associated Reflexes

    • T11 involves the same regions as T10.
    • T12 touches on the transverse colon through the rectum, GU tract, and lower extremities.
    • L1 and L2 both include reflexes from the transverse colon through the rectum, GU tract, lower extremities, and are linked to bladder, uterus, cervical areas, as well as specific genital regions.

    Sympathetic Innervation

    • Bladder sympathetic innervation stems from T11-L2.
    • Testes and ovaries receive their sympathetic innervation from T10-T11.
    • The uterus and cervix are supplied by sympathetic fibers from T10-L2.
    • The penis, anterior vaginal wall, and clitoris derive sympathetic innervation from T11-L2.
    • Prostate innervation comes from L1-L2.

    Parasympathetic Innervation

    • GU tract is supplied by parasympathetic fibers from S2-S4.
