Autonomic nervous system

Question 1

What is the Autonomic Nervous System

Answer 1

• Carries out functions involuntarily
• Maintains homeostasis and constant internal environment

Question 2

• Digestion:

Answer 2

Autonomic neurons innervate a network of neurons in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract known as the enteric nervous system

Question 3

Neuron

Answer 3

A nerve cell

Responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world and relaying motor commands to our muscles

Transforms and relays electrical signals between steps

Question 4

• Nerve fibre:

Answer 4

axon of a neuron

Question 5

nerve

Answer 5

A bundle of fibres/axons that transmit impulses of sensation to the brain or spinal cord AND impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles, tissues, and organs

Question 6

• The Afferent or Sensory Division

Answer 6

detects stimuli and relays sensory information to the central nervous system

Question 7

Somatic sensory

Answer 7

Transmit information from sensory receptors such as the skin, muscles, and joints to the CNS

Question 8

Visceral sensory:

Answer 8

Visceral sensory: Monitors internal organ activities and conveys this information to the CNS
