In a sympathectomy, a sympathetic ganglion is surgically removed to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.
2.
Because it is innervated by preganglionic nerve fibers, the adrenal medulla can be considered as a specialized sympathetic ganglion.
3.
The vagus trunks then join with preaortic sympathetic ganglion around the aorta to disperse with the blood vessels and sympathetic nerves throughout the abdomen.
4.
While L858H expressing sympathetic ganglion are depolarized ~ 5mV relative to wild-type expressing neurons, their threshold for action potential initiation is notably higher.
5.
Each of the thoracic, and the first and second lumbar nerves contribute a white ramus communicans to the adjoining sympathetic ganglion, unlike the GVA ).
6.
There are 10 known mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel ?-subunit Na V 1.7 encoding gene, " sympathetic ganglion neurons.
7.
Once they synapse in the sympathetic ganglion in the sympathetic trunk, they exit the trunk as gray rami to join the spinal nerve and innervate the appropriate structure.
8.
The adrenal medulla is considered a sympathetic ganglion and, like other sympathetic ganglia, is supplied by cholinergic preganglionic sympathetic fibers : acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter utilized at this synapse.
9.
Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla are analogous to post-ganglionic neurons; the adrenal medulla develops in tandem with the sympathetic nervous system and acts as a modified sympathetic ganglion.
10.
The growing tumor can cause compression of a brachiocephalic vein, subclavian artery, phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, vagus nerve, or, characteristically, compression of a sympathetic ganglion resulting in a range of symptoms known as Horner's syndrome.
