Q

What makes up the efferent nervous system?

A

Motor Neurones

17
Q

Is the somatic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?

A

Voluntary

18
Q

What is the somatic nervous system?

A

Motor neurones that carry action potentials to effectors under conscious (voluntary) control (e.g. skeletal muscle). One, typically myelinated, neurone connecting the CNS to the effector

19
Q

Is the autonomic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?

A

Involuntary

20
Q

What is the autonomic nervous system?

A

Motor neurones that carry action potentials to effectors under unconscious (involuntary) control. Control of many effectors doesn’t have to be rapid so typically it isn’t myelinated.

21
Q

What does the sympathetic system prepare for?

A

Activity - e.g. fight or flight

22
Q

What does the para-sympathetic system prepare for?

A

Conserving energy - e.g. feed and breed/rest and digest

23
Q

What is the relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways?

A

Agnostic

24
Q

Sympathetic or parasympathetic?

Many Neurones leaving CNS

A

Sympathetic

Each neurone goes to different effectors

25
Q

Sympathetic or parasympathetic?

Few nerves leaving CNS

A

Parasympathetic

They divide up into different effectors

26
Q

Sympathetic or parasympathetic?

Ganglia just outside the CNS

A

Sypathetic

27
Q

Sympathetic or parasympathetic?

Ganglia in effector tissue

A

Parasympathetic

28

Sympathetic or parasympathetic?

Most active during sleep/relaxation

A

Parasympathetic

38
Q

What are the effects of the sympathetic system?

A

Increased heart rate.
Dilated Pupils.
Increased ventilation rate.
Reduces digestive activity.
Orgasm.

39
Q

What are the effects of the parasympathetic system?

A

Decreased Heart rate.
Constricted pupils.
Reduced ventilation rate.
Increased digestive activity.
Sexual Arousal.
