44) THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:

[Editor]

a) regulates voluntary bodily functions by means of reflex pathways
b) parasympathetic fibres are present in the 3,5,9,10th cranial nerves
c) the cervical sympathetic ganglia (stellate ganglion) receive sympathetic fibres from cervical efferents
d) the 5th cranial nerve carries parasympathetic fibres to the otic ganglion
e) the juxtaglomerular apparatus does not receive fibres from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of non voluntary bodily functions. It consists of the sympathetic nervous system ( thoraco lumbar outflow ) and the parasympathetic nervous system ( cranio sacral outflow). Cranial nerves 3,7,9,and 10 contain the cranilal parasympathetic outflow. The glossophayngeal nerve (CN9) carries PS fibres to the otic ganglion.
The renal juxta glomerular apparatus only receives sympathetic innervation important in the neuro-humeral stress response.

Stellate gn. recieves symp from thoracic segments. so ? false.

Thanks Ramesh,
Stellate ganglion is the inferior cervical ganglion, which is the sympathetic ganglion. It receives both cervical and thorasic fibers (C7,8 & T1). Thats the reason the answer is true. Reference- Concise aNATOMY FOR aNAESTHESIA-a g erdmann.
Thanks for your intrest.
