Q

4 general features of the autonomic system

A
  1. efferent division carries motor info to visceral effectors
  2. integrative center = hypothalamus
  3. Motor neurons of the CNS synapse on visceral motor neurons located in ganglia found in PNS or nuclei in CNS (preganglionic neurons)
  4. Ganglionic neurons control visceral effectors

17
Q

terminal ganglia

-4 parts

A
  1. pterygopalatine
  2. ciliary
  3. submandibular
  4. otic
18
Q

autonomic NS receptors

-2 types

A
  1. adrenergic

2. cholinergic

19
Q

adrenergic

A

use norepinephrine and epinephrine as neurotransmitters

  • alpha 1
  • alpha 2
  • beta 1
  • beta 2
20
Q

alpha 1

  • location
  • response
A
  • widespread - in most tissues

- excitatory

21
Q

alpha 2

  • 2 locations
  • response
A
  • at neuromuscular junctions or neuroglandular junctions

- inhibitory

22
Q

beta 1

  • 4 locations
  • response
A
  • heart, kidneys, liver, and adipose tissue

- excitatory

23
Q

beta 2

  • 2 locations
  • response
A
  • smooth and skeletal muscle

- inhibitory

24
Q

cholinergic

  • definition
  • 2 types
A
  • use acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter

- nicotinic and muscarinic

25
Q

nicotinic

  • location
  • response
A
  • all autonomic synapses between preganglionic and ganglionic neurons
  • excitatory
26
Q

muscarinic

  • location
  • response
A
  • all parasympathetic and cholinergic sympathetic neuromuscular or neuroglandular synapses
  • variable
27
Q

sympathetic relaying signals

-5 steps

A
  1. preganlionic neuron in CNS
  2. preganlionic fiber in PNS
  3. ganglionic neurons or sympathetic ganglion
  4. if it goes to sympathetic ganglion -> bloodstream; if it goes to ganglionic neuron -> post ganglionic fiber
  5. target which depends on receptor or target organ
28
Q

Parasympathetic relaying signals

-5 steps

A
  1. preganglionic neuron in CNS
  2. Preganlionic fiber in PNS
  3. ganglionic neurons
  4. post ganglionic fiber
