Study Notes

Sympathetic Nervous System Innervation to the Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis

Origin of Thoracic Innervation:
- Upper 4 or 5 thoracic segments of the spinal cord
- Lateral horn cells
Relay of Thoracic Innervation:
- 3 cervical ganglia
- Upper 4 thoracic ganglia

Functions of Thoracic Sympathetic Innervation

Heart:
- Increases all cardiac properties:
  - Rhythmicity
  - Excitability
  - Conductivity
  - Contraction
- This increases the effectiveness of the heart as a pump
Coronary Vessels:
- Direct effect: vasoconstriction
- Indirect effect: vasodilatation (due to metabolite accumulation)
Lung:
- Bronchodilation due to inhibition of bronchial muscles
- Decreased mucus secretion due to inhibition of bronchial mucus glands
- Increased pulmonary ventilation capacity

Sympathetic Innervation to the Abdomen

Origin:
- Lateral horn cells of T6 - T12 segments of the spinal cord
- These are called Splanchnic Nerves
Relay:
- Collateral (Prevertebral) Ganglia
  - Celiac ganglia
  - Superior Mesenteric ganglia
  - Aortico-Renal ganglia
Functions:
- Increased glycogenolysis
- Increased glucose levels
- Increased fibrinogen synthesis
- Decreased endocrine and exocrine secretion
- Relaxation of the wall and contraction of the sphincter of Oddi, leading to bile retention and delayed emptying
- Contraction of the splenic capsule, pushing blood (250 ml) into circulation

Sympathetic Innervation to the Kidneys

Functions:
- Relaxation of the walls of the kidneys
- Contraction of renal sphincters
- Inhibition of digestion and delayed evacuation of kidney contents
- Stimulation of juxta glomerular cells results in increased renin production, which leads to vasoconstriction
- Decreased renal blood flow and decreased urine production
- Mixed supply of vasoconstriction and vasodilatation to the kidneys

Suprarenal Medulla

Origin:
- Lateral horn cells (LHCs) of T10 and T11 segments of the spinal cord
- Supplied by sympathetic preganglionic nerve fibers with no postganglionic nerve fibers
Relay:
- Directly relays with Suprarenal Medulla (SRM) cells (chromaffin cells)
Functions:
- Secretes adrenaline (80%) and noradrenaline (20%)
- Prolonged action due to slow clearance from circulation
- Adrenaline primarily acts on metabolic actions of the body
- Noradrenaline primarily acts on blood vessels
- In stress conditions, SRM works with the sympathetic nervous system (sympatho-adrenal system)

Sympathetic Innervation to the Pelvis

Origin:
- Lateral horn cells of L1 - L3 segments of the spinal cord
Relay:
- Inferior mesenteric and Hypo-gastric ganglia
Functions:
- Relaxation of the walls of the bladder
- Contraction of the internal urethral sphincter
- Decreased micturition (urination) and urine retention
- Relaxation of the walls of the rectum
- Contraction of the internal anal sphincter
- Decreased defecation (bowel movement) and stool retention
- Contraction of the seminal vesicles, leading to ejaculation
- Inhibitory effects on the uterus, but excitatory in late pregnancy
- Vasoconstriction (VC) leading to shrinkage of the penis and clitoris

Sympathetic Innervation Summary

Upper Limb:
- Origin: LHCs of T2 - T9
Lower Limb:
- Origin: LHCs of T10 - L2
Thoracic & Abdominal Walls:
- Origin: LHCs of T1 - L2
Functions:
- Skin: vasoconstriction of blood vessels, hair erection, sweat secretion
- Skeletal muscles: vasodilation of skeletal muscle blood vessels

  - Functions:
    - Increased Glycogenolysis: Increased glucose
    - Increased Fibrinogen Synthesis
    - Decreased endocrine and exocrine secretion
    - Contraction of Splenic Capsule: Pushes blood to circulation (250 ml)
    - Relaxation of the wall and contraction of the sphincter of Oddi: Retention of bile and delayed emptying
- Kidneys:
  - Relaxation of walls, contraction of sphincters, inhibition of digestion, delayed evacuation of contents
  - Stimulation of juxta glomerular cells: Increased renin production, vasoconstriction
  - Decreased renal blood flow: Reduced urine production
- Adrenal Medulla (SRM):
  - Origin: LHCS of T10 & 11 segments of spinal cord
  - Relay: Supplied by sympathetic preganglionic nerve fibers, no postganglionic fibers, directly connected to SRM cells (chromaffin cells)
  - Function:
    - Secretes adrenaline (80%) and noradrenaline (20%)
    - Prolonged action due to slow clearance
    - Adrenaline acts on metabolic functions, noradrenaline acts on blood vessels
    - Sympatho-adrenal system: SRM acts together with sympathetic nervous system in stress conditions
- Pelvic Viscera:
  - Origin: Lateral horn cells of L1 to L3
  - Relay: Inferior mesenteric and hypogastric ganglia
  - Functions:
    - Bladder: Relaxation of wall, contraction of internal urethral sphincter, reduced micturition, urine retention
    - Rectum and Anal sphincter: Relaxation of the wall, contraction of internal anal sphincter, reduced defecation, stool retention
    - Seminal vesicles: Contraction, ejaculation

  - Vasoconstriction of blood vessels, hair erection, sweat secretion
- Skeletal Muscles:
  - Vasodilation of blood vessels
