ANS Flashcards
WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BW ANS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS what are 2 major communication systems
- NS
2. ES
WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BW ANS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS what is NS divided into
- CNS
2. PNS
WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BW ANS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS what is PNS divided into
- autonomic NS
2. somatic NS
WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BW ANS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS what is autonomic NS divided into
- afferent pathway
2. efferent pathway
WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP BW ANS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS what is efferent pathway divided into
3 systems
- sympathetic NS
- parasympathetic NS
- enteric NS
what does afferent pathway do
messages go from body to ANS
what does efferent pathway do
messages go from ANS to body
WHAT ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NS AND ES how does NS act
fast
WHAT ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NS AND ES how does ES act
slow
WHAT ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NS AND ES what do hormones in ES travel through
blood
WHAT ARE GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF OF ANS what are general functions of ANS
homeostasis
WHAT ARE GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF OF ANS what is homeostasis
regulatory mechanism. that serves to maintain const internal enviro in face of changes
WHAT ARE GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF OF ANS what system does homeostasis not regulate
skeletal system
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what does somatic NS innervate
skeletal muscle
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what do somatic nerves pass through to get to effectors
1 neuron link efferent pathway
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what transmitter involved in taking message to effectors of somatic nerves
Ach
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what does autonomic NS innervate
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
- glands
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what is response of effectors of autonomic nerves
- excitatory
2. inhibitory
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what do autonomic nerves pass through to get to effectors
2 neuron link efferent pathway
COMPARISON OF AUTONOMIC NS AND SOMATIC NS what transmitters are involved in taking message to effectors of autonomic nerves
- Ach
- norepinephrine
- epinephrine
LOCATION OF CELL BODIES OF PRE GANGLIONIC FIBRES where are cell bodies of parasympathetic pre gang fibres located
- cranial region of brain stem
2. sacral region of brain stem
LOCATION OF CELL BODIES OF PRE GANGLIONIC FIBRES where are cell bodies of sympathetic pre gang fibres located
- thoracic region of SC
2. lumbar region of SC
what is in centre of spinal cord
grey matter
what surrounds grey matter
white matter
where are cell bodies of somatic nerves located
ventral horn (in grey matter of SC)
what do axons of somatic nerves travel to from ventral horn
- ventral root
- spinal nerve
- skeletal muscle
where are cell bodies of parasympathetic pre gang fibres located
lateral horn (in grey matter of cranial sacral regions of SC)
where do axons of parasympathetic pre gang axons travel to from lateral horn
- ventral root
- spinal nerve
- ganglion
where does parasympathetic post gang neurons terminate
ANS targets
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
- glands
where are cell bodies of sympathetic pre gang fibres located
lateral horn (in grey matter of thoracic lumbar regions of SC)
where do axons of sympathetic pre gang axons travel to from lateral horn
- ventral root
- spinal nerve
- white ramus communicans
- sympathetic chain
what happens once sympathetic pre gang axon in sympathetic chain
- terminate at first ganglion it comes into contact with
- terminate at more distant ganglion
- terminate at pre vertebral / collateral ganglion
where is pre vertebral / collateral ganglion located
in front of vertebral column
where do axons of sympathetic post gang axons travel to from ganglion
- grey ramus communicans
2. ANS targets
GANGLION what can happen at ganglion
1 pre gang fiber communicate w multiple post gang fibres
multiple pre gang fibres communicate w one post gang fibres
GANGLION what is divergence
1 pre gang fiber communicate w multiple post gang fibres
GANGLION what is convergence
multiple pre gang fibres communicate w one post gang fibre
what happens when post gang fibre reaches smooth muscle
split into branches that cover smooth muscle cell
what can be found along branches
varicosities
what do varicosities contain
vesicles containing transmitter
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what does sympatho stand for
sympathetic NS
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what does adrenal stand for
adrenal gland
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what is adrenal medulla
inner portion of adrenal gland
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what innervates adrenal medulla
sympathetic pre gang fibres
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what will sym pre gang fibers communicate with
chromaffin cells within adrenal medulla
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what is within chromaffin cells
hormones that are produced by adrenal medulla
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what are chromaffin cells equivalent to
sym post gang fibres
SYMPATHO ADRENAL SYSTEM what is the function of sym pre gang fibres
stimulate chromaffin cells to release hormones
ANS TRANSMITTERS AND RECEPTORS what transmitter released from axon terminal of somatic nerve
