autonomic neurons are __
motor neurons
visceral sensory neurons are often linked to
autonomic motor neurons
visceral reflex synapses take place in
the lateral horn of gray matter
in most autonomic or visceral reflexes it is a __ that leads to the effector organ
two neuron chain
The effector organ for a somatic reflex is __ which would include a __.
skeletal muscle tissue, NMJ
All autonomic motor neurons innervate tissue through __
varicosities.
Varicosities are__
the ends of autonomic nerve fibers.
The __pathway is a two neuron chain pathway
efferent
what is a ganglion
a collection of cell bodies in the PNS
It’s always __ with the somatic junction.
ACh
The effect of target cells is always __ when ACh is released onto skeletal muscle but it can be __ in the autonomic system.
excitatory, excitatory or inhibitory
What makes the difference if a reaction in the autonomic system is inhibitory or excitatory
the receptor it binds to
Cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are only found in the __
CNS
Cell bodies of autonomic neurons in __
both the CNS and the PNS.
Postganglionic bodies are found in the __
ganglion in the PNS.
The only significant place where you only have one autonomic neuron is __
when you look at the innervation of the adrenal gland.
The portion of the adrenal gland called the adrenal medulla is often classified as__
the missing sympathetic postganglionic fiber.
The oculomotor nerve carries __ fibers with it.
sympathetic
The main big difference between parasympathetic and sympathetic anatomy in terms of the spinal cord is__
sympathetic neurons arise in the thoracic and lumbar region.
do autonomic fibers arise form the cervical spinal cord region
no
The autonomic ganglia for sympathetic fibers are typically close to the __
spinal cord
autonomic ganglia for sympathetic fibers have __ preganglionic fibers and __ post ganglionic fiber
short, long
All cranial nerves carry __ fibers.
parasympathetic
Damage to both right and left vagus nerves results in__
death.
