ANS Flashcards
SNS or ANS: voluntary
somatic
SNS or ANS: monosynaptic
somatic
SNS or ANS:neuron cell bodies in CNS
somatic
SNS or ANS: all neurons are excitatory
somatic
SNS or ANS: Effectors regulated= skeletal muscle
somatic
SNS or ANS: response time= rapid
somatic
SNS or ANS: involuntary
ANS
SNS or ANS: di-synaptic (2 neurons in chain)
ANS
ANS: preganglionic neuron cell bodies are in the ( ), but the postganglionic neuron cell bodies are found in ( )
- CNS
- ganglia in the periphery
SNS or ANS: neurons are excitatory and inhibitory
ANS
SNS or ANS: effectors regulated= smooth muscle and glands
ANS
SNS or ANS: response time is slow
ANS
efferent or afferent: motor neuron
efferent
efferent or affterent: sensory neuron
afferent
sympathetic nervous system: preganglionic fibers exit spinal cord from ( )
T1 to L2
parasympathetic nervous system: preganglionic fibers originate in ( )
the brain
smooth muscle surrounded by blood vessels only
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: cell bodies located on thoracic/lumbar region of spinal cord
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: cell bodies located in cranial and sacral region
parasympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: paired chains of ganglia in close proximity to spinal cord
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: ganglia in walls of effector structures
parasympathetic
both divisions of ANS consists of ( )
1) preganglionic fibers
2) autonomic ganglis
3) postganglionic fibers
sympathetic/parasympathetic: preganglionic fibers= short
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: preganglionic fiber= long
parasympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: postganglionic fiber= long
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: postganglionic fiber= short
parasympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: chemical transmitter at ganglionic synapse= Ach
sympathetic AND parasympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: chemical transmitter at postganglionic effector junction= norepinepherine
sympathetic
sympathetic/parasympathetic: chemical transmitter at postganglionic effector junction= Ach
parasympathetic
modified sympathetic ganglion
adrenal glands
adrenal glands stimulated by ( )
sympathetic system
what do adrenal glands secrete?
epinepherine (85%) & norepinepherine (15%)
sympathetic system activated as a unit- affects all effector organs at same time
Mass Activation
PRE-ganglionic fibers branch to synapse with numerous post-ganglionic neurons located in ganglia
