Q

preganglionic cell bodies in the SNS are found in what part of the vertebrae

A

lateral horn

31
Q

preganglionic cell bodies in the SNS are found in what sections of the spinal cord

A

thoracic and lumbar

32
Q

sympathetic ganglia are found in the

A

sympathetic chains of ganglia

33
Q

other names for the sympathetic chains of ganglia

A

sympathetic chains, sympathetic chain ganglia, sympathetic trunks

34
Q

sympathetic chains of ganglia are

A

nervous tissue structures on either side of the spinal cord containing ganglia and preganglionic axons

35
Q

sympathetic ganglia outside of the sympathetic chain are called

A

collateral ganglia

36
Q

preganglionic axons of the SNS are long/short, postganglionic fibers are long/short

A

short, long

37
Q

adrenal glands location

A

superior to the kidney

38
Q

layers of the adrenal gland from outer to inner

A

adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla

39
Q

adrenal cortex

A

outer layer that secretes steroids

40
Q

adrenal medulla

A

inner layer that secretes catecholamines

41
Q

catecholamines

A

adrenaline and noradrenaline

42
Q

the adrenal medulla is innervated by

A

preganglionic sympathetic fibers

43
Q

the preganglionic sympathetic fibers in the adrenal medulla are made of

A

modified postganglionic neurons with no axons

44
Q

the neurosomas of the adrenal glands secrete

A

hormones directly into the bloodstream

45
Q

importance of adrenal gland hormone secretion

A

same effect as SNS
increases the number of cells affected by SNS
increases length of SNS activity

46
Q

The parasympathetic division is also called the

A

craniosacral division

47
Q

cell bodies of the Parasympathetic division are located in

A

the brainstem and sacral spinal cord

48
Q

the PSNS travel through

A

Cranial Nerves III, VII, IX, V
sacral spinal nerves

49
Q

most important cranial nerve of the PSNS

A

vagus (X)

50
Q

preganglionic fibers of the PSNS are long/short, postganglionic fibers of the PSNS are long/short

A

long, short

51
Q

terminal ganglia of the PSNS are found

A

in/near the target organ

52
Q

autonomic effects of PSNS and SNS are different because

A

use different neurotransmitters
neurotransmitter can have different effect on a different receptor
some target cells are only innervated by the PSNS or SNS

53
Q

neurotransmitters in preganglionic fibers

A

acetylcholine

54
Q

neurotransmitters in postganglionic fibers

A

SNS: norepinephrine or ACh
PSNS: ACh

55
Q

cholinergic Recptors bind to

A

ACh

56
Q

nicotinic receptors are found on all

A

postganglionic neurons

57
Q

nicotinic receptors are found on what specific target organ

A

adrenal medulla

58
Q

nicotinic receptors are excitatory/inhibitory

A

excitatory

59
Q

muscarinic receptors are found on

A

60
Q

muscarinic receptors are excitatory/inhibitory

A

both

61
Q

adrenergic receptors bind to

A

norepinephrine

62
Q

adrenergic receptors are found

A

on all target cells

63
Q

alpha adrenergic receptors are excitatory/inhibitory

A

64
Q

beta adrenergic receptors are excitatory/inhibitory

Q

what target organs are not dually innervated? only the SNS

A

67
Q

autonomic tone

A

baseline level of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of effectors

68
Q

sympathetic stimulation of target cells is adjusted by

A
