Sympathetic and parasympathetic (neuroanatomy)

  • As we're on the neuroanatomy train right now stuck at home in the garden let's talk about the autonomic nervous system, and in particular, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. They're on my to do list, but I feel like I've talked about this a thousand times as this is some fundamental neuroanatomy but it's not easy.
    We'll talk about smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscle, linking ideas of autonomic and somatic innervation, and describe how both sympathetic and parasympathetic parts are 2 neurone systems. We'll look at how the sympathetic neurones come out of the spinal cord, talk about the sympathetic trunk/ganglion/chain, rami communicantes, preganglionic and postganglionic neurones and the chemical neurotransmitters involved.
    Then we can do the same for the parasympathetic side of things, and work out how parasympathetic innervation gets from the brainstem and the sacral spinal cord to the viscera of the head, thorax, abdomen and pelvis.
    From this you can build up your knowledge as you study each region, organ or system of the body.
    Lot's to do, but it's key stuff!

    Just wanted to let you know that I learned in first second and third semester with your videos and successfully passed neuroanatomy because of you

    Hubby: Who is that man?
    Me: my anatomy teacher
    But you haven’t even done science at O Level at school!!!
    Well.... that’s not stopping me from learning 😌
    A little more than a year ago, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and from there on, I am slowly but surely learning about the systems in my body, how they work.... all that I had until some time back, taken for granted.
    I know that your video appeared in my feed because of the previous searches I have done regarding the human body and I am so glad it did.
    All that to say that I am not here for exams and some (well most) of the names and terms are lost on me but I am here to understand how our body functions and Sir you do a great job explaining all of that. Thank you very much.
    This video is a special one for me.
    Best wishes to you and to all your loved ones all the way from Mauritius. Stay safe everyone.

      there’s a lot on the net about the importance of a healthy vagus nerve (s) and the effects of weak neck muscles C1 and C2, and a low vagal tone. it may help with your fibromyalgia. there are ways to improve the vagal tone (measurement of its strength). worth checking out. (I’m not a medical student either) I’m a reflexologist and we need to know anatomy etc. Knowledge is power! 😃

    Thank you so much for your channel. Voice/singing teacher here, and I’m so excited to find information that is not dumbed down for a target audience but that is also so clearly explained. This is the first time I’ve learned about this stuff and not also wanted to fall over.
    Also.
    “When you get used to explaining it you get really far away from learning it.”
    What a beautiful, refreshing, humble thing to hear a teacher say. Thank you.

    Hi mate, I'm not student etc but have a big interest of the body. I'm a qualified PT (not what i do for a living but do train friends etc) but I am a runner (x20 marathons x10 ultras) like yourself. Love your uploads! Ive gained loads of knowledge from you so just wanted to say thanks, and carry on!!

    Interesting as always sir. Thank you.
    I had a bilateral open lumbar sympathectomy in 1976 for ischaemia - I am a myelomeningocele - but was spared pain from the ischaemic areas because of my dodgy nervous arrangements! Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the surgical incisions! OUCH+++

    Could you please shed a little light on the embryology of the autonomic nervous system? It would really help to make the understanding of the ANS very intuitive!

    • @SamWebster
      @SamWebster  Před 4 lety +3

      Just a lot of time and repetition. My top advice for my students is to use the language of anatomy and occasionally study together, describing things to each other and error checking.

  • @ruggerogabbrielli6831
    @ruggerogabbrielli6831 Před 4 lety +1

    Brilliant video (as usual)!
    I have a couple of questions: Do heart rate and force of contraction always go together? I was wondering whether an increase/decrease in one had necessarily to imply an increase/decrease of the other (and vice versa)...
    Also, do all visceral afferents from the heart run back to the spinal cord with the sympathetic neurons?

    • @SamWebster
      @SamWebster  Před 4 lety +2

      Heart rate & contractility: probably, although there may be an exception or two (there usually is in biology). A good physiologist will be able to explain this better than I can.
      Visceral afferents: no, many run back with the vagus nerve as the vagus nerve supplies parasympathetic innervation to the heart and the vagus nerve carries afferents back to the brain.

    Hi Sam, great video. I have a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and my autonomic symptoms are lack of sweat (haven’t sweat in 5 years), heart palpitations, raised heart rate upon standing (and sometimes dizziness/blackout). Any ideas as to what’s going on inside my body?

    Question: Is breathing under autonomic or somatic control? Do the two systems overlap when it comes to breathing? Some people say that breathing is like a conduit into our autonomic nervous system because it is the only place where we can consciously affect our autonomic nervous system. I apologize if I'm being a bit vagusy here..

    The sympathetic nervous system is very interesting therapeutically.
    The hardware for the sympathetic nervous system are the ganglion along the spine.
    A damaged spine from a trauma - even if the back has no pain - can cause merry mayhem all over the body.
    This site has a few short blog posts on this and how to fix it: goodback.co.uk/
