Ch.14 Flashcards
Involuntary Division of the Motor Division of the PNS
Regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands
Somatic Nervous System
- Sensory Input: Special senses and somatic senses
- One neuron pathway: Single neuron from CNS synapse directly effector ograns: skeletal muscle in PNS to release Ach –> stimulatory effect
All somatic motor neurons release
ACh
Control of Motor Output
Somatic Nervous System (SNS)
Voluntary control from cerebral cortex with contributions from basal ganglia, cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord
All Preganglionic fibers in Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) release
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
ACh
All post ganglionic axons in Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) release
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
ACh OR norepineephrine (NE)
- Sympathetic postganglionic fibers release NE
- Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release ACh
Sensory Input
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Mainly from interoceptors
Control of Motor Output
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Involuntary control from the limbic system; hypothalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord
Automatic Nervous system: Sympathetic
- “Fight or Flight” – mobilizes body for action
1. preganglionic neurons from CNS synapse with postganglionic fibers in an autonomic ganglion in PNS to release Ach
2. Unmyleinated postganglionic axon from ganglia releases norepinephrine to effector organs: Smooth muscle, glands, cardiac muscle and increased or decreased muscle contraction - Stimulatory or inhibitory, depending on neurotransmitter and receptors on effector organs
Automatic Nervous system: Parasympathetic
- “Rest, Repose, Digest” – conserves energy
1. preganglionic neurons from CNS synapse with postganglionic fibers in an autonomic ganglion in PNS to release ACh
2. Unmyleinated postganglionic axon from ganglia releases ACh to effector organs: Smooth muscle, glands, cardiac muscle and increased or decreased muscle contraction - Stimulatory or inhibitory, depending on neurotransmitter and receptors on effector organs
Agonists
- if sympathetic stimulates the gland to secrete –> the parasympathetic inhibits the gland’s secretion
Parasympathetic Division
- Axons emerge from CNS at level of cranial nerve and sacral spinal nerves
- Ganglion is near or within the effector
- Preganglion axon is long, postganglion axon is short
CN (3) III Oculomotor
Parasympathetic Division
focus on close objects at cranial level
CN (7) VII Facial
Parasympathetic Division
causes salivary and tear glands to secrete at cranial level
IX Glossopharyngeal
Parasympathetic Division
causes salivary glands to secrete at cranial level
X Vagus
Parasympathetic Division
Thoracic and abdominal organs (heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, etc.) at cranial level
