1) Describe the Anatomical Components/Pathways That Are Involved in Carrying Sensory Information from the Organs (Cervical, Thoracic, Abdominal, Pelvic) to the Brain Lecture Objectives: 1) Describe the anatomical components/pathways that are involved in carrying sensory information from the organs (cervical, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic) to the brain. 2) Describe the functional differences between the sensory and the autonomic nervous system. 3) Describe how visceral 10 afferent anatomy and responses are or are not different from somatic 10 afferents. 4) Describe the functional and anatomical differences between vagal and spinal visceral afferents. 5) Describe the anatomical basis for referred pain. 6) Discuss what roles visceral afferents may be playing when they are not producing the conscious sensation of pain. Viscera and their pathology 1 2 6 9 3 5 7 10 8 4 Visceral Pain: 1) Visceral pain is pain that results from activation of nociceptors (or afferents capable of transmitting noxious stimuli) innervating, cervical, thoracic, abdominal or pelvic organs. 2) Visceral pain usually arises in response to distension, ischemia or inflammation. Not so much from burning or cutting stimuli. 3) Is very often accompanied by other symptoms including nausea, vomiting and emotional manifestations (e.g., fear, depression). These are referred to as the affective aspects of visceral pain. 4) Pain is described as sickening, deep, squeezing, dull, cramping. It often only become “sharp” or “stabbing” when it spreads to the body wall (next slide). 5) Visceral pain is often associated with overt pathology – cancer, obstruction, inflammation (all –itises, gastritis, pancreatitis, esophagitis, colitis). It can also have a neuropathic component when organs change shape. 6) Is also found in patients with no clear pathology but with functional symptoms (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), characterized by pain plus constipation or diarrhea). These syndromes are called Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID). 7) The most common types of GI disease include Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis) and Celiac Disease. Pain is variable in these conditions. The relation of the organ to the mesothelium determines, in part, how pain is perceived 1) All organs are held in position to varying degrees by layers of connective tissue derived from the mesothelium. Nerves innervating the organ run in and through these tissues. 2) Called plura on the lungs, pericardium on the heart and peritoneum for the abdominal and pelvic organs. 3) These tissues start out on the thoracic, abdominal or pelvic wall and wrap over the organ. When this tissue is on the wall it is call parietal, when it on the organ it is call visceral, e.g., parietal and visceral peritoneum. Visceral afferents run in and through the visceral peritoneum, plura or pericadium. 4) Many organs (esp. abdominal) are suspended by two enveloping layers of connective tissue (plura, pericardium or peritoneum), forming suspensory ligaments with specific names, e.g., mesentery of the intestines. Large nerve bundles are contained in these mesenteries, running with blood vessels. 5) Other organs are pinned against the body wall under this tissue, e.g., kidneys, pancreas, as well as the ascending and descending colon. In the abdomen these organs are called “retroperitoneal”. Disease from these organs can spread to the body wall and engage somatic nociceptors. Note location up against the body wall Note proximity to bone Unlike somatic structures, most organs get input for 10 afferents from two sources Spinal or “Sympathetic” Craniosacral or “Parasympathetic” NTS nodose ganglion 1 2 cervical 3 vagus nerve 4 5 greater 6 7 splanchnic 8 1 nerve 2 thoracic 3 4 5 6 7 CG 8 9 10 SMG 11 12 1 2 lumbar 3 IMG 4 least 5 1 2 lumbar s.n. 3 4 Pelvic 5 Pelvic prevertebral splan. ganglia nerve Visceral primary afferents •Anatomically much less complex than cutaneous afferents. The fanciest belong to vagal afferents. •Visceral nociceptors (1st neuron in pain pathway) are usually unmyelinated (aka C-fiber) or lightly myelinated (A∂ fiber) – no known Ab fibers. •They respond to noxious mechanical stimulation (aka high threshold mechanical stimulation) and/or noxious heat (fire), noxious cold, or chemical (pH) stimuli. But not to cutting. They can detect temperature and TRP channel agonists but may not produce equivalent sensations. •Many visceral afferents (perhaps the majority) can detect both noxious and non-noxious stimuli (Rick’s broad dynamic range neurons); e.g., the GI tract is heavily innervated by sensory neurons that can do more than one job. But, the GI tract also has professional nociceptors; those neurons that fire in response to noxious stimuli (intense distension, low pH). •Vagal afferents are thought to convey different aspects of pain from afferents arising from spinal afferents. However, with respect to neurochemistry and physiology, they have things in common (e.g. firing properties, peptides and TRP channels) and things that are unique (below). The majority of vagal afferents code over a wide range of mechanical stimuli and yet, are not considered to contribute to pain sensations. Colon afferents can code intensity well, but these are in a minority Reconstruction of Central Projection of Single Visceral Afferent. Take home message? Single visceral (in this case spinal) afferent projects to a large number of spinal neurons making it very likely that synaptic activity generated by this fiber will overlap with somatic sensation. Referred Pain – makes it even more sloppy Referred pain is due to somatic and visceral afferents sharing the same second order sensory neurons in the dorsal horn. Examples of Referred Pain for the GI tract 1) Right lower quadrant: 2) Right upper quadrant: a. Acute appendicitis a. Acute cholecystitis b. Mesenteric lymphadenitis b. Biliary colic c. Infective distal ileitis c. Acute hepatic distension or inflammation d. Crohn’s disease d. Perforated duodenal ulcer e. In women: 3) Central abdominal pain i. Ectopic pregnancy a. Gastroenteritis ii. Ruptured ovarian cyst b. Small intestinal colic iii. Acute salpingitis c. Acute pancreatitis f. Renal disorders 4) Left upper quadrant i. Right ureteric calculus a. Perisplenitis ii. Acute pyelonephritis b. Splenic infarct g. Acute cholecystitis 5) Left lower quadrant h. Acute rheumatic fever a. Acute diverticulitis i. Pyogenic sacroiliitus b. Pyogenic sacroiliitis •How could nonprofessional (dedicated) visceral nociceptors transmitted noxious stimuli? •Frequency Coding – low frequency firing pattern is interpreted by the CNS as normal function. At high frequency, stimulation is perceived as pain. •Silent afferents – In the bladder and colon there are sensory fibers that do not normally fire even at potentially noxious levels of stimulation. Following inflammation, these fibers become active and may be active even during normal micturition producing painful sensation. These fibers would be a special class of sensory neurons that would be classified as nociceptors. •Note - the two choice above do not begin to consider changes that could (and probably do) occur in the spinal cord and brain. Changes in primary afferents may be the first step in changes that occur throughout the pain pathway. Allodynia in the GI tract can be a real problem Normal patient IBS patient % Reporting Pain Reporting % NPP Pressure Visceral innervation is sloppy – dually projecting afferents in the periphery and convergence centrally DRG DRG From Kannampalli and Sengupta , JNM, 2015, 21:147 The Vagal System Components of the Vagus nerve include: • Visceral motor output from the dorsal motor nucleus (DMN) of the vagus. • Somatic motor output from the nucleus ambiguus. • Somatic sensory neurons located in superior vagal ganglion (jugular in the rodents and other mammals) that project to trigeminal nucleus (not shown in diagram below). In rodents some of these project to organs in thoracic and abdomen and project centrally to the paratrigeminal nucleus. • Visceral sensory neurons located in the inferior vagal ganglion (aka nodose) that project to the nucleus tactus solitarius (nTS). First stop of nodose afferents is the NTS DMN More vagal tidbits (but important) • Vagus mean “wanderer”. • It is 80-85% sensory. • Dogma says that vagal visceral sensory fibers do not carry “pain” information for the gut (it may transmit pain for organs of the thoracic cavity). Moreover, most visceral sensory information carried in the vagus does NOT reach consciousness. It may be associated with general feelings like hunger, satiety, nausea, as well as emotional components of visceral pain. How do we know this? (Hint: what patient population could provide insight into this issue?) • Visceral afferents encode physical and chemical events (distension, contraction, pH) and relay this information back to the CNS to modulate function. • The vagus provides sensory fibers to organs from the pharynx to the colon splenic flexure (at least). Spinal Visceral Sensory - Conscious Pain Spinal ganglion Spinal Visceral Pathways • Sensory fibers originate in the spinal or dorsal root ganglia. • Only 1-2% of all spinal sensory neurons innervate viscera. • Sensory fibers must “hitch a ride’ with components of the sympathetic nervous system and the sacral portion of the parasympathetic system. They do not belong to either system! • For the sympathetic system innervating the abdominal organs, sensory fibers run with the greater (T5 to T 8) splanchnic nerve, the lesser (T10 to T11) splanchnic nerve, the least (T12 ) splanchnic nerve , the lumbar splanchnics (there are usually 4 in humans), and sacral splanchnics. • For the afferents innervating pelvic organs,

  • Antidepressants for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
    Antidepressants for the treatment of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Commonly IBS, constipation, diarrhea, functional abdominal pain and esophageal hypersensitivity Document adapted from literature available from the UNC Center for Functional GI & Motility Disorders What are Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs)? There are many different FGIDs (over 20), but among them, IBS is the most common. FGIDs are characterized by abnormal changes in the movement of muscles throughout the intestines (motility abnormality), an increase in the sensations produced by digestive tract activity (visceral hypersensitivity), and brain-gut dysfunction, especially in the brain’s ability to regulate painful signals from the GI tract. People with IBS have an increased awareness and interpretation of these activities as being abnormal. Motility Abnormality Visceral Hypersensitivity Brain-Gut Dysfunction Instead of normal muscular People with IBS, and other When nerve impulses from the gut reach activity (motility) during digestion, FGIDs, may experience an the brain, they may be experienced as people with IBS may experience increased sensitivity in the more severe or less severe based on the painful spasms and cramping.

There are medicines and expertise available that can help to control cancer pain. However, surveys show that cancer pain is still poorly controlled in many cases. As a result, patients must know what is available, what they have a right to and how to ask for it. Cancer itself and the treatments for cancer, including both medicines and surgery, can cause pain. Treatments can be directed either at the cause of the pain (for example, the tumour itself) or at the pain itself. Understanding cancer pain Cancer pain can be complicated, involving pain arising from inflammation (swelling), nerve damage and tissue damage from many sites around the body.

  • The Digestive System
    69 chapter four THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is structurally divided into two main parts: a long, winding tube that carries food through its length, and a series of supportive organs outside of the tube. The long tube is called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract extends from the mouth to the anus, and consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, the pharynx, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intes- tine. It is here that the functions of mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption of nutrients and water, and release of solid waste material take place. The supportive organs that lie outside the GI tract are known as accessory organs, and include the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Because most organs of the digestive system lie within body cavities, you will perform a dissection procedure that exposes the cavities before you begin identifying individual organs. You will also observe the cavities and their associated membranes before proceeding with your study of the digestive system. EXPOSING THE BODY CAVITIES should feel like the wall of a stretched balloon. With your skinned cat on its dorsal side, examine the cutting lines shown in Figure 4.1 and plan 2. Extend the cut laterally in both direc- out your dissection. Note that the numbers tions, roughly 4 inches, still working with indicate the sequence of the cutting procedure. your scissors.
