Autonomic nervous system & ganglia L7 Flashcards
what is the origin of sympathetic nervous system?
left horn cells of T1 to L3 (thoracolumber)
what is the origin of the parasympathetic nervous system?
cranial part: X, IX, VII & III (1973)
sacral part: 2, 3, 4
N. their fibers unite to form pelvic nerve
Define ANC
part of the nervous system r responsible to regulation of involuntary or visceral(الاحشاء) functions in the body.
what are the characteristics of sympathetic nervous system?
- fight and flight
- catabolic to energy
- delay fatigue
- increase energy use
- mass stimulation is useful
What are the characteristics of parasympathetic nervous system?
- rest and digest
- anabolic to energy
- saves energy
- mass stimulation is fatal
- repair and recovery of constracting muscles.
what are the characters of bregan galionic neuronneuron
- origin: CNS
- end: ganglia
- type: thin myelinated (type B)
- colour: white
- No: few
- chemical transmitter: acetylcholine
what are the characteristics of the postganglionic neuron?
- origin: outside cns
- end: effectors
- type: non-myelinated (type c)
- colour: gray
- no: more
- chemical transmitter: Acetylcholine & noradrenaline
cell bodies of the postganglionic neuron forms ……
ganglia
Define autonomic Ganglia?
collection of cell bodies outside cns
mention the functions of ganglia:
- relay stations for autonomic preganglionic neuron.
- distribution center.
in the sympathetic NC the ratio preg : postg is ….
1:32
What is the nature of the actions of the sympathetic nervous system?
- widespread distribution
- generalized
in the parasympathetic NS the ratio between preg : postg is …..
1:2
What is the nature of the actions of the parasympathetic nervous system?
localized
mention the types of ganglia and their sites:
- paravertebral (lateral) → sides of the spinal cord
- prevertebral (collateral) → close to the aorta and its branches
- terminal ganglia → close to the effector
*lateral ganglia is called olso sympathetic chain.
branches of the aorta are: celiac, *superior mesenteric & inferior mesenteric.
