Sympathetic Nervous system is Thoracolumbar outflow
Parasymp. Nervous system is Craniosacral outflow.

Is there ANY Autonomic outflow from the cervical segments?

Besides the Brachial plexus (C5-T1) what else does cervical outflow go to?

No autonomic centers in cervical segments of spinal cord!
Cervical nerves go to Cervical plexus (C1-C4) and to Brachial plexus (C5-Th1)


  #3

Right. NO autonomic fibers from Cervical>
What do 1-4 innervate?

C3-C5 phrenic nerve (inervation of diaphragm)

C1-C4 motor innervation of cervical muscles (prevertebral and scalen muscles) and with glossopharyngeal nerve inervation of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle

C1-C4 sensory branches: occipitalis minor, auricularis magnus, transversus colli, supraclavicular nerves (skin of the neck, part of the face and the thorax)
