Chapter 16 Flashcards
4 general features of the autonomic system
- efferent division carries motor info to visceral effectors
- integrative center = hypothalamus
- Motor neurons of the CNS synapse on visceral motor neurons located in ganglia found in PNS or nuclei in CNS (preganglionic neurons)
- Ganglionic neurons control visceral effectors
sympathetic division
-location of cell bodies of preganglionic neurons
-spinal segments T1 - L2 (in the lateral gray horn)
location of preganlionic axons
- what does it travel through
- can synapse with in what
- what can occur
- white ramus and into ganglia
- within ganglia or pass through without synapsing
- extensive divergence can occur
extensive divergence
preganlionic axon synapses on many ganlionic neurons
3 types of ganglia in sympathetic
- sympathetic chain ganglia
- collateral ganglia
- adrenal medullae
sympathetic chain ganglia
- how many
- targets 4 structures
- one on each side of vertebral column
- body wall, head, neck, or limbs
collateral ganglia
- 3 parts
- what does it supply
- celiac
- superior mesenteric
- inferior mesenteric
- celiac
- supplies abdominopelvic viscera
adrenal medullae
- where do synapse occur
- what does it stimulate
- on neuroendocrine cells within adrenal gland
- stimulates secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine
Post ganglionic axons in sympathetic
- myelinated or unmyelinated?
- long or short?
- what can it form
- where will many travel
- unmyelinated
- long
- bundles = plexus
- within spinal nerves
effectors of sympathetic nervous system
depends on ganglia = variety of visceral effectors
parasympathetic division
-location of cell bodies of preganglionic neurons
- brain stem nuclei of CN III, VII, IX and X
- lateral gray horns of S2 - S4
preganglionic axons of parasympathetic
- how extensive is divergence
- most travel where
- can form what
- not extensive
- most travel a long distance before synapsing
- can form bundles = plexus
ganglia of the parasympathetic
- where are terminal ganglia located
- intramural ganglion
near target organ
-embedded in tissues of target organ
post ganglionic axons of the parasympathetic
- short or long?
- myelinated or unmyelinated
- location
- short
- unmyelinated
- located within or next to target organ
effectors of the parasympathetic
- areas serviced by what cranial nerves
- affectors are what
- CN III, VII, IX, X
- brief and restricted to specific organs
1 type of parasympathetic division
