Chapter 15 Flashcards

Q

Somatic vs autonomic NS (excitatory, voluntary, consciously perceived, function when damaged)

A

Somatic: when SMN stimulates SM=always excitatory, usually voluntary, usually consciously perceived

Autonomic: exciting/inhibiting to cardiac/smooth/glands, function to some extent if nerve damaged, usually not voluntary, not consciously perceived
