Anatomical terminology

The Ramus sympathetica is a branch of a spinal nerve and part of the sympathetic nervous system. It is also known as the sympathetic branch.

Structure

The ramus sympathetica is a branch of the spinal nerve that connects with the sympathetic ganglion. It is composed of efferent sympathetic fibers and afferent fibers.

Function

The ramus sympathetica carries sympathetic nerve fibers to the spinal nerve, which then distribute to the body's periphery. These fibers are involved in the regulation of several functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.

Clinical significance

Damage to the ramus sympathetica can result in various symptoms, depending on the location and extent of the damage. These may include abnormal heart rhythms, high blood pressure, and temperature regulation problems.
