ANS (2) Flashcards
The somatic motor system is what kind of system? how many neurons?
voluntary; 1 neuron (symp and PS)
The visceral motor system is what kind of system? How many neurons
2 neurons, Symp and PS
What neurotransmitter is utilized at the ANS ganglion? What receptor type?
ACh; nitcotinic
What transmitters are utilized by the sympathetic system and where? What receptors are where?
ACh pregang, NE postgang, Alpha receptor- BV, eyes, ductus deferens, B1- heart, B2- lung
Where is the sympathetic preganglion body located?
IML T1-L2, L3
Where is the sympathetic postganglionic path and cell body?
via white rami to lateral chain ganglia (skull to coccyx, via splanchnic to celiac, sup and inf mesenteric ganglia
What are the functions of the sympathetic system?
skin: sweat (ACh), Piloerection, Vasoconstriction; Skeletal muscle vasodilation (Epi);Pupil dilation; Increased HR and contractile force; Bronchodilation, contraction of prostate, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, uterus after orgasm; Inhibit peristalsis of gut, contract int. sphincter, increase mucous in saliva; Release FFA from fat and breakdown glyc. to gluc.- epi
What transmitters are utilized by the sympathetic system and where? What receptors are where?
Acetylcholine (cholinergic), Both pre and post ganglionic, Some also contain neuropeptides, Nicotinic receptor on postganglionic neurons, Muscarinic receptors on tissues
Where is the sympathetic preganglion body located?
Edinger-Westphal nuc, Superior and inferior salivatory nuclei, dorsal motor nucleus of vagus ambiguous, sacral S2-S4 Imc
Where is the sympathetic postganglion body located?
Ciliary ganglion, Otic ganglion, Pterygopalatine ganglion, Submandibular ganglion, Terminal ganglia in wall of organ
What are the functions of parasympathetics from edinger westphal nucleus?
Constriction of pupil accommodation,
What are the functions of parasympathetics from superior and inferior salivatory nuclei?
Serous secretion from parotid, sublingual, & submandibular, Lacrimal & nasal secretion,
What are the functions of parasympathetics from dorsal motor nucleus of vagus and ambiguous?
amb-Decrease heart rate and contractile force, Constrict coronary, DMV- Bronchoconstriction, Secretion glands resp. tree & GI. Promote peristalsis
What are the functions of parasympathetics system from Sacral Imc?
Promote peristalsis of colon. Contraction of detrusor m., Erection by inhibiting arteriolar smooth muscle with VIP
What is the reflex arc of the visceral motor system? What is the central integration?
visceral sense input to nucleus of the solitary tract to pregang to visceral motor response; nucleus of solitary tract to medial and ventral forebrain to hormonal and behavioral response
What are the areas involved in central control of visceral motor system?
amygdala, medial prefrontal cortex, insular cortex, hypothalamus, AN centers reticular formation
What is the function of the amygdala in ANS system?
Fear – cold sweat, hair standing on end, paleness of skin, dry mouth, palpitation, rapid breathing, Thrill – hair standing on end, Grief/Joy – tears, Embarrassment – blushing, Anger – arching of back, baring teeth, pupillary constriction, increased blood pressure, Pain – cold sweat
What is the visceral motor function of the medial reticular column in the medulla?
inspiration, slow HR
