Peripheral nervous system is a collection of nerve fibers and cell bodies outside the ….made up of either ….or ….nerves.
CNS, spinal or cranial
Peripheral nerves carry information to….or control movements and functions from the brain and spinal cord to the body.
spinal cord or brain
Somatic motor nerve cell body of spinal nerve lies in the ….of the spinal cord while it sends information through the axon to …muscle as far as a meter away.
ventral horn, innervate
somatic sensory nerve cell body resides in the ….receiving information via axon from the skin and synapsing on nerves in ….of the spinal cord.
dorsal root ganglia, dorsal horn
rhizotomy
sectioning of the dorsal or ventral roots of a spinal nerve in order to relive intractable pain or spastic paralysis.
ANS
visceral motor system that modulates internal organ function
Two divisions of ANS
sympathetic, parasympathetic
Sympathetic is also known as
thoracolumbar
Parasympathetic is also known as
craniosacral
preganglionic neurotransmitter is
Acetylcholine
postganglionic neurotransmitter is generally
norepinephrine
