AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM Part I Flashcards
Anesthesiology define as ________
Goal of anesthesia: ______
The practice of ANS medicine
Keep ANS stable
Division of ANS 3 anatomic divisions are:
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Enteric GI
The ANS Is (vol/invo) and conducts impulse from ______ or _______to _____, ______, and _______Tissues
involuntary division of the PNS (conducts impulses from the brain stem or spinal cord to cardiac, smooth and glandular tissues)
ANS also called (Not in control); 3 other names
Visceral, vegetative and involuntary NS
ANS periphery involces
nerves, ganglia, plexuses
ANS is accompanied by sensory (afferent) nerve fibers - visceral afferent system
send input from viscera
**ANS is a ______ innervation. most organs have input for ______ and ______pathways
Dual innervation system: PNS and SNS
ANS function
regulates structures that are NOT VOLUNTARY CONTROL and that function below the consciousness.
Enteric Nervous system
Mixing, propulsion and absorption of nutrients in the GI tract.
Neurons located in wall of GI tract, link to pancreas and gallbladder function.
It is the ENS through the _______ and __________that regulates _______activity
Myenteric, SUBMUCOUS PLEXI regulates the DIGESTIVE ACTIVITY
***IMPORTANT: Main neurotransmitter in GI Nervous system
SEROTONIN
HYPOTHALAMUS (CNS) act as a ____ ____ and _________ for the ANS FUNCTION
SIGNAL RELAY and integration center for ANS functions
What are the 2 VITAL CENTERS FOR hemodynamics and ventilatory control
MEDULLA
PONS
Adrenergic Axon is a
Cholinergic Axon is a
nerve fiber that secretes norepinephrine
nerve fiber that secretes acetylcholine
Adrenergic Receptor
Cholinergic Receptor
receptor Binds to catecholamines: Norepinephrine and epinephrine, dopamine
Receptor that binds to Acetylcholine
ANS is a 2 neuron pathway
Pre-ganglionic
and post ganglionic
the cell body of the Pre-ganglionic neuron is located in 2 places: the ______(____nerves) and the ________ _____ (___Nerves)
Cell body is in brain (cranial nerves) or spinal cord (spinal nerves)
Pre-ganglionic neuron does what?
Carries message to the autonomic ganglia
the neurotransmitter released from the PREGANGLIONIC NEURON at the autonomic ganglion is ALWAYS
ACETYLCHOLINE
The receptor that ACh binds on the POST GANGLIONIC NEURON Cell body is ALWAYS
a NICOTINIC CHOLINERGIC RECEPTOR (nAChR)
Where does the cell body lies in the POST GANGLIONIC neuron? and where does it carry the message to? ______ _____
lies outside the CNS - CARRIES MESSAGE TO THE VISCERAL EFFECTOR ORGAN
AXON in the POST ganglionic is (myelinated /unmyelinated)
UN-myelinated fiber.
Axon is a myelinated fiber in a ____ ______neuron
PRE-GANGLIONIC Neuron
Where is the cell body in post ganglionic? Where does it terminates _______
OUTSIDE of the CNS; In the visceral effector organ.
