27
Q

Name this neuron:

A

bipolar

28
Q

All general Motor neurons in the body are this type of neuron:

A

multipolar

29
Q

All general Sensory neurons in the body are this type of neuron:

A

pseudo-unipolar

30
Q

Cell bodies of neurons are located in 2 different places:

A

Either in the central system (gray matter) or ganglia (outside CNS)

31
Q

Visceral efferent involve innvervation of 3 visceral structures:

A

smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glandular cells

32
Q

Motor is [afferent/efferent]?

A

Efferent

33
Q

Sensory is [afferent/efferent]?

A

Afferent

34
Q

What are the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system?

A

decrease heart rate
decrease arterial blood pressure
increase secretions from digestive glands
increase peristalsis of gut
constriction of the pupils

35
Q

How do pain afferents enter CNS?

A

parallels SYMPATHETIC system, fibers enter spinal cord through spinal nerves T1-L2

36
Q

How do physiological afferents and pain afferents differ?

A

Physiological parallels parasympathetic nervous system; Pain afferents parallel sympathetic nervous system in how they enter CNS

37
Q

What are physiological afferents and how do they enter CNS?

A

chemoreception
baroreception
stretch/distension (esp. hollow organs)

Parallels PARAsympathetic nervous system and enters CNS via cranial nerves 7, 9, 10 and spinal nerves S2-S4

38
Q

What are the functions of sympathetic division of the ANS?

A
  • innervation of certain cutaneous structures: vasoconstriction of arteries of skin, sweat glands, arrector pili muscles
  • vasodilate arteries in skeletal muscle
  • dilate pupils
  • increase heart rate
  • increase blood pressure
