  4. Renal plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_plexus

    The renal plexus is a complex network of nerves formed by filaments from the celiac ganglia and plexus, aorticorenal ganglia, lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and first lumbar splanchnic nerve and aortic plexus. [1] The nerves from these sources, fifteen or twenty in number, have a few ganglia developed upon them.

    The nerve contributes to the celiac plexus, a network of nerves located in the vicinity of where the celiac trunk branches from the abdominal aorta. The greater splanchnic nerve modulates the activity of the enteric nervous system of the foregut. It stimulates contraction of the splanchnic vasculature, increasing blood pressure. [5]

    In dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency, the entire body cannot efficiently produce epinephrine and norepinephrine from dopamine, this results in severe dysautonomia but most crucially due to autonomous nervous system failure which requires epinephrine and norepinephrine as neurotransmitters, dopamine being used in this pathology as an ...

  8. Sympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system

    There are two kinds of neurons involved in the transmission of any signal through the sympathetic system: pre-ganglionic and post-ganglionic. The shorter preganglionic neurons originate in the thoracolumbar division of the spinal cord specifically at T1 to L2~L3, and travel to a ganglion, often one of the paravertebral ganglia, where they synapse with a postganglionic neuron.

  9. Adrenal haemorrhage - Wikipedia

    This produces methemoglobin whose paramagnetic effect results in hematomas appearing hyperintense on T1- and T2-weighted images. [14] In the chronic stage, the periphery of adrenal hematoma gradually becomes hyperintense, leaving a hypointense rim on T1- and T2-weighted images due to the hemosiderin deposition and development of a fibrous ...
