ANS Flashcards
ANS supplies
smooth muscle of vasculature, gut tube and ducts, cardiac pacemaker cells, sweat glands
ANS divided into
sympathetic and parasympathetic
pre ganglionic neurone in sympathetic
short and cell body in spinal cord
pre ganglionic neurone in parasympathetic
very long and cell body in medulla or spinal cord
post ganglionic neurone of the sympathetic
long
post ganglionic neurone of the parasympathetic
short
sympathetic ganglia location
medially - paravertebral or preaortic
parasympathetic supplies
splanchnopleure derived
sympathetic supplied
somato and splanchno derived
ganglia position of parasympathetic
near or on target organ
pre: post ganglionic ratio of sympathetic
high - 1:20 - divergent and global
pre:post ganglionic ration of parasympathetic
low - 1:5 - convergent and specific
vertebral segments of sympathetic roots
thoracic and lumbar
vertebral segments of parasympathetic roots
brain and pelvic splanknics
action of sympathetic
fight or flight
action of parasympathetic
rest and digest
sympathetic heart rate and sweat gland effect
increase
parasympathetic heart rate and sweat glands effect
decrease
pupil size sympathetic effect
dilation
pupil size parasympathetic effect
constriction
gut sympathetic effect
decrease
gut parasympathetic effect
increase
bone effect sympathetic
increased resorption
2 components of parasympathetic
vagus nerve and pelvic splanchnic nerves
