Chapter 1- Nervous System Flashcards
the autonomic nervous system is located in the
visceral motor division of the peripheral nervous system
visceral
internal body
somatic
external body
sympathetic nervous system helps
prepare for action
parasympathetic nervous system helps
with calming
autonomic NS innervates
glands, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle
automatic NS control is
involuntary
the result of loss of ANS innervation
structures still function, denervation hypersensitivity
denervation hypersensitivity
smooth and cardiac muscle becomes hyperactive
somatic NS innervates
skeletal muscle
somatic NS control is
voluntary
result of loss of SNS innervation
muscle can’t function, atrophy
sympathetic and parasympathetic visceral motor function has what affects
opposite effects on innervated structure
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic HR function
increase, decrease
sympathetic and parasympathetic respiratory function
bronchodilation (increase), bronchoconstriction (decrease)
sympathetic and parasympathetic direct blood flow to
skeletal muscle, digestive and urinary system
sympathetic and parasympathetic salivary and lacrimal gland function
decrease secretion, increase secretion
sympathetic and parasympathetic sweat gland function
increase secretion, decrease secretion
somatic motor fibers begin
in the spinal cord or brainstem
somatic motor fibers are many/one throughout the body
single axon from origin to target organ
autonomic motor pathway
nerve signal, preganglionic neuron, postganglionic neuron
nerve signals in the autonomic motor pathway travel across one/two/many neurons to reach target
one
preganglionic neuron
neuron in amp that is located in the brain/spinal cord
postganglionic neuron
neuron in amp that is innervates the target organ
how many ANS neurons synapse at the autonomic ganglion
two
ganglion
collection of cell bodies in the PNS
sympathetic ganglion are close/far from the target organ
far
parasympathetic ganglion are close/far from the target organ
close/on the target cell
the sympathetic division is also called the
thoracolumbar division
