Spinal nerves integration into fetal tissues | Due to segmental development of the body, nerves form Dermatomes(Skin), Myotome(skeletal muscle), Sclerotome(connective tissue) |
Somato-somatic reflex | Sensory info enters spinal cord via dorsal root, synapses on a motor neuron which leaves ventral root and synapses on skeletal muscle |
sympathetic innervation pathway of somatic body | IML--Anterior root--White rami--paravertebral sympathetic chain--Gray rami--spinal nerve **Grey Rami exist all the way up and down the sympathetic chain. White Rami only run from T1-L2 |
Viscero-Visceral Reflex | Visceral afferents enter the spinal cord via Dorsal root, synapse on motor neurons in the lateral horn (Interneurons), exit via anterior root--sympathetic chain--effected organ |
Interneurons in the spinal cord | Can recieve afferents from somatic or visceral neurons. **They can synapse with motor neurons both visceral and somatic |
Afferent Drive | Causes Viscero-Somatic and Somato-Visceral reflex. -Afferents from all kinds of sensations both somatic and visceral to interneurons. -leads to a facilitated spinal cord segment (lowering the threshold/excitability) -Leads to abnormal reflexes and SD |
Viscero-Somatic Reflexes effect on somatic tissue | Pain in the Viscera then causes changes in: -skin (sweat glands) -skeletal muscle -blood vessels -TART |
