Q

How do sympathetic and parasympathetic systems effect the digestive tract

A

Sympathetic decreases motility and secretions

Parasympathetic increases motility and secretions

17
Q

How do sympathetic and parasympathetic systems effect the bronchioles?

A

Sympathetic dilates airways

Parasympathetic constricts airways

18
Q

What effectors have sympathetic input only?

A

Sweat glands
Arrector Pili muscles
Blood vessels of skin, skeletal muscle, heart, lungs, brain, digestive viscera, and kidney

19
Q

How does sympathetic activity effect sweat glands?

A

Increased secretion

20
Q

How does sympathetic activity effect arrector pili muscles?

A

contraction

21
Q

How does sympathetic activity effect blood vessels of skin skeletal muscle, heart, lungs, and brain?

A

Dilation

22
Q

How does sympathetic activity effect blood vessels of digestive viscera and kidney?

A

Constriction

23
Q

What effectors have only parasympathetic input?

A

Lacrimal glands

24
Q

How does parasympathetic activity effect lacrimal glands?

A

Increased secretion

25
Q

The efferent pathway is a ____ neuron pathway

A

Two

26
Q

Describe cell communication in the efferent pathway

A

Motor neurons in CNS send preganglionic axons to synapse on autonomic ganglia in PNS. These ganglia send postganglionic axons to synapse on effector

27
Q

Describe the structure of the Sympathetic pathway

A

Thoraco-lumbar division
Preganglionic cell body in T1-T2
Ganglion closer to CNS
Have: sympathetic chain ganglia, collateral ganglia, adrenal medulla

28
Q

Describe the structure of the parasympathetic pathway

A
Cranio-sacral division
Preganglionic axon longer
Ganglion near or in effector organ
Postganglionic axon short
Preganglionic cell body in Cranial nerves and S2, S3, and S4
29
Q

Define sympathetic chain ganglia

A

2 chains of ganglia, one on each side of vertebral column, innervate head, body wall, limbs, and viscera of thoracic cavity

30
Q

Define collateral ganglia

A

Close to abdominal argeries
Pass through chain ganglia and form splanchnic nerves
Innervated abdominal and pelvic viscera

31
Q

Sympathetic activation of the collateral ganglia

A

decreases blood flow and releases stored energy molecules

32
Q

Define adrenal medulla

A

Central portion of adrenal gland

Postganglionic cells are modified neurons that secrete into blood rather than onto effectors

33
Q

The parasympathetic division has preganglionic neurons in

A

the brainstem and sacral segments of spinal cord
