Chap 18 Flashcards
Two branches of autonomic ns
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
Sympathetic
Fight or flight
Parasympathetic
Rest and digest
Somatic sensory
Nerve impulses from special senses
-consciously perceived
Visceral sensory
Sensory input that is not consciously perceived from receptors
-blood vessels
Somatic motor
Consciously controlled muscle movement
-skeletal muscles
Autonomic motor
Motor output not consciously controlled
-smooth muscle and cardiac muscle
Autonomic sensory neurons (location and where do they go)
Located in
-visceral organs
-blood vessels
Sent to the CNS
Integrating centres
Located in central nervous system
Autonomic motor neurons
From CNS to various effector tissues to regulate activity of
-smooth muscle
-cardiac muscle
-glands
Enteric division ENS
Specialized network of nerves and ganglia
-independent network within wall of GI tract
-brain of the gut
Somatic nervous system process
-From spinal cord
-to myelinated motor neuron
-directly to effector
Autonomic nervous system process
-from spinal cord
-more specifically preganglionic neuron
-to preganglionic axon
-to autonomic ganglion
-postganglionic axon
-to effector organ
Anatomical differences in ANS divisions
-length of preganglionic and postganglionic axons
-number of preganglionic axon branches
-location of ganglia
Sympathetic division has the ______ located in the _____
-preganglionic neurons
-T1 to L2
Parasympathetic preganglionic neurons located in _______ and _______
-brain stem nuclei
-S2 to S4
What division is found in the thoracolumabr division
Sympathetic division
Sympathetic Preganglionic neurons location
Located in the
-12 thoracic segments
-first two lumbar segments
T1-S2
Mass activation
SNS works to prepare for fight or flight
-everything kicks into gear
PNS division appearance of pre and postganglionic axon
Pre- long axon unbranched
Post- short axon
SNS pre and postganglionic appearance
Pre- short and branching
Post- long
Sympathetic ganglia
Sites of synapses between sympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic neurons
Three types of sympathetic ganglia
-sympathetic trunk ganglia
-prevertebral ganglia
-postganglionic axons
Sympathetic trunk ganglia
Vertical row on either side of vertebral column
Prevertebral ganglia
Lies anterior to vertebral column and close to the large abdominal artieries
Postganglionic axons
From prevertebral ganglia innervate organs below diaphragm
Preganglionic neurons of the SNS location
Located: T1-L2
-lateral horns of gray matter
Three general groups of autonomic ganglia
-Sympathetic trunk ganglia
-prevertebral ganglia
-postganglionic axons
Sympathetic ganglia
Sites of synapses between sympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic neurons
Sympathetic trunk ganglia
Vertical row on either side of vertebral column
Prevertebral ganglia
Lies anterior to the vertebral column, close to large abdominal arteries
Goes to various organs
Postganglionic axons
From pre-vertebral ganglia
-Innervates organs below the diaphragm
