Ch 15 (Exam 3) Flashcards
includes sensory and motor neurons. Sensory neurons are related to touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception (sense of self position), sight, hearing, taste, smell and equilibrium. Motor neurons innervate skeletal muscles.
The somatic nervous system
receives input from sensory receptors located in organs, blood vessels, muscles and the nervous system. Motor neurons innervate smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
The autonomic nervous system
of spinal nerves NOT just autonomic ganglia – have cell bodies of sensory
Dorsal ganglia
Is on either side of the vertebral column
• Postsynaptic ganglia
Sympathetic chain (trunk) ganglion (or
paravertebral)
in front of the spinal column or close to large arteries in the abdomen – sympathetic
Collateral or prevertebral ganglion
near the effector or in walls of the effector – parasympathetic – reason hy parasympathetic has longer preganglionic fibers
Terminal ganglion or intramural ganglion
has its cell body in the central nervous
system and the axon extends to an autonomic ganglion.
• (myelinated)– first order
A preganglionic neuron
has its unmyelinated axon extending from the ganglion to the effector
• (unmyelinated) second order
A postganglionic neuron
Fight or flight
Sympathetic
Rest and digest
Parasympathetic
most organs receive stimuli from BOTH of these divisions. (Parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions)
Dual innervation
Pupil constriction
Parasympathetic
Pupil dilate
Sympathetic
slow heartbeat
Parasympathetic
Increased heartbeat
Sympathetic
Airways: constricts the bronchial tubules
Parasympathetic
Airways: dilates the bronchial tubules
Sympathetic
Liver: stimulates bile response
Parasympathetic
Liver: increase the rate of glycogen to glucose
Sympathetic
Sweat glands: stimulates secretion
Sympathetic
Blood vessels constriction
Parasympathetic
Digestive system: stimulates activity
Parasympathetic
Digestive system: decrease activity
Sympathetic
Adrenal glands: stimulates the production of adrenaline
Sympathetic
