ANS Flashcards
ANS consist of
autonomic sensory neurnon, integrative center, autonomic motor neurons, enteric division
location of autonomic sensoru neuron
visceral organs and blood vessel
location of integrating center
CNS
location autonomic motor neurons
propagate from cns to various effector tissues
ANS innervate involuntary or voluntary muscle
involuntary
the visceral afferent and visceral efferent don’t travail together
false
afferent component is sensory or motor
sensory
efferent component is sensory or motor
motor
function of afferent component
autonomie réflexe (blood vessel , change in homeostie) + pain fibers
function of efferent component
regulation of visceral function
in which component there is 2 motor neurons in series
efferent
what does preganglionic fibers of parasympathetic division secrete
Ach
exemple of ANS
celiac plexus, superior mesenteric plexus, inferior mesenteric plexus
ANS is organized into
nerve ganglia plexus
innervation of ANS
involuntarilyinnervates cardiac & smooth muscle, glands of the body
where does ganglia in ANS lie
outside of spinal cord
function of cardiac muscle in ANS
increase or decrease rate/force of contraction
function of gland in ANS
increase or decrease secretion
ANS divided into 2 systems
sympathetic (thoracolumbar) + parasymptathetic (craniosacral)
explain the concept of visceral efferent pathway
They pass through the PREGANGLIONIC NEURON to synapse in the AUTONOMIC ganglion
• They then pass through to the POSTGANGLIONIC NEURON to the EFFECTOR (smooth or cardiac ms/ Glands)
location of neurone in the visceral efferent pathway
lateral grey bodies with some in the anterior horn
where does the synapse occurs
autonomic ganglia
