Question
Chapter 25, Problem 12WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The main function of sympathetic innervations to the lungs.
Introduction:
Both somatic and autonomic motor nerves innervate the respiratory system. The autonomic nervous system innervates the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs. The autonomic nerves that innervate the heart also send branches to these respiratory structures.

What do the other nuclei do?arrow_forwardJohn, a healthy twenty-eight year old electrical engineer, was driving home from work one evening when he experienced sudden stabbing pain in his right pectoral and right lateral axillary regions. He began to feel out of breath and both his respiratory rate and heart rate increased dramatically. As luck would have it, John passed a hospital each day on his way home and was able to get himself to the hospital’s emergency room. The emergency room physician listened to John’s breathing with a stethoscope and requested blood gas analysis and a chest x-ray. John answered a few of the doctor’s questions. The doctor noted that John had no history of respiratory problems but was a heavy smoker. After viewing the chest radiograph, the doctor informed John that he had experienced a spontaneous pneumothorax, or what is commonly called a collapsed lung. The doctor explained that a hole had opened in John’s right lung and that this hole had allowed air to leak into the cavity surrounding the lung.…arrow_forward
