IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The afferent sensory fibers arise from cells in the superior ganglion and in the petrosal ganglion. The superior colliculus is intimately connected with the central auditory path (the lateral lemniscus), as part of its fibers pass the inferior colliculus and terminate in the superior colliculus. The superior colliculus is said to receive fibers from the stria medullaris thalamis of the opposite side which pass through the commissura habenulæ and turn back to the roof of the mid-brain, especially to the superior colliculus. bartleby.com /107/191.html

The Autonomic Nervous System The superior ganglion sends branches along the internal and external carotid arteries to reach structures in the orbit, face, nasal and oral cavities and pharynx. The superior ganglion sends branches to spinal nerves C1-C4, the middle ganglion to spinal nerves C5-C6, and the cervicothoracic ganglion to spinal nerves C7, 8-T1. The postganglionic fibres travel in the branches of the ganglion or the maxillary nerve to reach the nasal and palatine glands. www.geocities.com /medinotes/autonn.htm   (1113 words)

SURGERY OF MIDDLE SKULL BASE The gap between the superior constrictor of the nasopharynx and skull is the foramen of Morgagni which is largely filled by the eustachian tube and palati muscle. --V2 and V3 branches are exposed extradurally and the superior orbital fissure is decompressed. Anterior venous connections are the superior ophthalmic vein and spheno-parietal sinus. www.thamburaj.com /middle_skull_base.htm   (1113 words)

Abdomen Pelvis and Perineum: Written Examination Part IV (52pts) - September 1, 2000 Preganglionic fibers follow the lesser and least splanchnic nerves to aortic ganglia near (and including) the superior mesenteric ganglion and the aorticorenal ganglion. A swelling of the superior mesenteric artery near its origin from the aorta or a swelling of the aorta just distal to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery could compress the left renal vein and the duodenum. Parasympathetic preganglionic cell bodies are located in the central gray of the spinal cord (IMLCC) at levels S2-4. www.humangrossanatomy.com /anatansguide/essay200.html   (1113 words)

Webvision: Ganglion cell Physiology Ganglion cell axons terminate in brain visual centers, principally the lateral geniculate nucleus and the superior colliculus. Ganglion cells are the final output neurons of the vertebrate retina. So although ganglion cells eagerly stake out their own individual turf in a spatial anatomical sense, the physiological signals they transmit are often plagiarized from common sources, resulting in highly correlated firing patterns among neighboring cells. webvision.med.utah.edu /GCPHYS1.HTM   (14339 words)

IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The principal gray masses of the tegmentum are the red nucleus and the interpeduncular ganglion; of its fibers the chief longitudinal tracts are the superior peduncle, the medial longitudinal fasciculus, and the lemniscus. The superior colliculi are associated with the sense of sight, the inferior with that of hearing. Of the afferent fibers which reach the superior colliculus, some are derived from the lemniscus, but the majority have their origins in the retina and are conveyed to it through the superior brachium; all of them end by arborizing around the cells of the gray substance. www.bartleby.com /107/188.html   (14339 words)

II. Osteology. 5a. 5. The Sphenoid Bone. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Below the medial end of the superior orbital fissure is a grooved surface, which forms the posterior wall of the pterygopalatine fossa, and is pierced by the foramen rotundum. On the under surface of the vaginal process is a furrow, which is converted into a canal by the sphenoidal process of the palatine bone, for the transmission of the pharyngeal branch of the internal maxillary artery and the pharyngeal nerve from the sphenopalatine ganglion. The anterior surface of the pterygoid process is broad and triangular near its root, where it forms the posterior wall of the pterygopalatine fossa and presents the anterior orifice of the pterygoid canal. www.bartleby.com /107/35.html   (2775 words)

Neurogenetics at UT Health Science Center Since we have shown that peroxidase label in the superior colliculus at E38 and E46 extends from the rostral to the caudal poles, it could be argues that even as early as E38 axons originating from peripheral temporal ganglion cells have extended into the most caudal portion of the superior colliculus. The retinal projection to the superior colliculus of the cat was examined at four gestational ages, embryonic days 38, 46, 56, and 61, using the anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase and tritiated leucine. At this gestational age, the incipient strata of the superior colliculus could be distinguished in Nissl-counterstained sections, and it appeared that the erosion of label was restricted to the upper middle portion of the SGS. mickey.utmem.edu /PAPERS/SC1982.html   (8100 words)

vol33P294.htm The cervical sympathetic ganglia are identified as the superior, middle, intermediate and the inferior cervical sympathetic ganglion. Stellate ganglion block is the common nomenclature utilized, however, stellate ganglion is present in only 80% of the population, thus, either lower cervical sympathetic block or upper thoracic sympathetic block is an appropriate term. Stellate ganglion block or lower cervical sympathetic block has been advocated for both diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic purposes for a variety of conditions. www.asipp.org /Journal/vol33P294.htm   (231 words)

autonomic (hypothalamus) Horner’s syndrome results from a lesion to the sympathetic fibers to the orbit, superior cervical ganglion, cervical portion of the sympathetic chain ganglia, or preganglionic neurons in lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord. The first thoracic ganglion often fuses with the inferior cervical ganglion to form the stellate ganglion. For instance, the nicotinic receptor of autonomic ganglia is not identical to the nicotinic receptor at the neuromuscular junction. www.med.uiuc.edu /m1/neurosci/Web_Neuro_2001/protected/curriculum/Unit_17_01_Autonomic_Function/Autonomic.htm   (10369 words)

Anatomy - Upper Extremity Generally, there is one ganglion for each spinal nerve, but neighboring ganglia may fuse into larger masses as in the Cervical region where there are only three large ganglia; Superior, Middle and Inferior. The autonomic motor neurons whose cell bodies are located in the CNS are referred to as Preganglionic neurons because they are proximal to ganglia which contain cell bodies of the second autonomic motor neurons. The second autonomic motor neurons are then referred to as Postganglionic neurons because they extend distal to the ganglia containing their cell bodies. cats.med.uvm.edu /cats_teachingmod/gross_anatomy/thorax/pages/ans.html   (2969 words)

Evolution of Retinal Structures The five layers are the outer nuclear and plexiform layers, the inner nuclear and plexiform layers, and the ganglion cell layer. The central area may be used for monocular viewing of objects in the lateral visual field, while the superior dorsal area may assist in viewing objects binocularly in front of the birds (e.g., in both predatory owls or ground-feeding species like the pigeon). Five major classes of retinal neurons are also recognized: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and ganglion cells. www.pigeon.psy.tufts.edu /avc/husband/avc4eye.htm   (2360 words)

IX. Neurology. 1F. The Great Plexuses of the Sympathetic System. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The nerves composing this plexus are white in color and firm in texture; in the upper part of the plexus close to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery is a ganglion (ganglion mesentericum superius). The suprarenal plexus (plexus suprarenalis) is formed by branches from the celiac plexus, from the celiac ganglion, and from the phrenic and greater splanchnic nerves, a ganglion being formed at the point of junction with the latter nerve. of the cardiac plexus are the superior cardiac nerve of the left sympathetic, and the lower of the two superior cervical cardiac branches from the left vagus, which pass to the superficial part of the plexus. www.bartleby.com /107/220.html   (2601 words)

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 4. The Internal Carotid Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. The artery is separated from the bony wall of the carotid canal by a prolongation of dura mater, and is surrounded by a number of small veins and by filaments of the carotid plexus, derived from the ascending branch of the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk. It is in relation, behind, with the Longus capitis, the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, and the superior laryngeal nerve; laterally, with the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, the nerve lying on a plane posterior to the artery; medially, with the pharynx, superior laryngeal nerve, and ascending pharyngeal artery. As the artery crosses the optic nerve it is accompanied by the nasociliary nerve, and is separated from the frontal nerve by the Rectus superior and Levator palpebræ superioris. www.bartleby.com /107/146.html   (2522 words)

Richard Zigmond, Ph.D. Regulation of substance P is similar to that of vasoactive intestinal peptide after axotomy or explantation of the rat superior cervical ganglion. We find that, following axotomy, sympathetic neurons in the rat superior cervical ganglion express vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and galanin, two neuropeptides not normally expressed by these neurons. Vasoactive intestinal peptide and secretin produce long-term increases in tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the superior cervical ganglion. neurowww.cwru.edu /faculty/zigmond.shtml   (1267 words)
