Ch. 17 Flashcards
two divisions of the ANS
sympathetic and parasympathetic
ANS is the system of
motor neurons that innervates smooth, cardiac, and glands
SNS vs ANS effectors
SNS: skeletal muscle
ANS: smooth, cardiac, and glands
ANS/SNS neurotransmitter effects
SNS: excitatory only
ANS: excitatory or inhibitory
SNS/ANS efferent pathways/ganglia
SNS: single neuron (lower motor neuron)
ANS: 2 neurons pre/post
preganglionic neuron cell body found
lateral horn
preganglionic neuron myelination
lightly
preganglionic neuron termination
autonomic ganglion
postganglionic neuron cell body is in
autonomic ganglion
post ganglion neuron myelination
unmyelinated
post ganglionic neuron termination
at effector
sympathetic E division means
flight or fight
sympathetic division symptoms
increase hr, deep breathing, dry mouth, cold sweaty skin, dilated pupils, release of glucose
resting and digesting divison
parasympathetic
parasympathetic division D
digestion, defecate, diuresis
Parasympathetic and sympathetic division innervate
same tissues, but different functions
sympathetic also referred to as
thoracolumbar divivison of ANS
parasympathetic aka
cranosacral division
Sympathetic innervates tissue
visceral organs, heart, lungs, pancreas, reproductive,
