Subdivsions of the PNS
autonomic nervous system
somatic motor system
Subdivision of the autonomic nervous system
parasympathetic nervous system
sympathetic nervous system
True or Flase
The Somatic motor system controls involuntary movements of mulses
Flase
Somatic motor system control voluntary movement of muscles
Threee principal functions of autonomic nervous system
regulation of the heart
regulation of secretory glands
regulation of smooth muscles
Seven regulatory functions of parasympathetic nervous system
heart rate gastric secretion emptying of bladder emptying of bowel eye focus contraction of pupil bronchial smooth muslce
sympathetic nervous system three main functions
regulating cardiovascular system
regulating temperature of body
implementing acute stress response
What are the three basic patterns of autonomic innervation
- innervation by both and divisions are opposed
- innervation by both divisions and divisions are complementary
- innervation and regulation by only one division
The most important part of the feedback loop of autonomic nervous system
baroreceptor reflex
What is the baroreceptor relfex
the feedback loop of the autonomic nervous system that helps regulate blood pressure
Name the day to day influence exerted by the autonomic nervous system on a particular organ
autonomic tone
Name the neurotransmitters of the PNS
acetylcholine
norepinephrine
epinephrine
these receptors mediate responses at all junctions where acetylcholine (ACh) is the transmitter
Cholinergic receptors
Theses receptors medicate responses at all junctions where norepinephrine or epinephrine is the transmitter
adrenergic receptors
The three major subtypes of cholinergic receptors
nicotinicN
nicotinicM
muscarinic
Four major subtypes of adrenergic receptros
