Chapter 16 [ EXAM #2 ] Flashcards
is the somatic nervous system fast or slow
fast
is the autonomic nervous system fast or slow
slow
is the somatic nervous system conscious or unconscious
conscious
is the autonomic nervous system conscious or unconscious
unconscious
function: somatic nervous system
control of skeletal muscles
function: autonomic nervous system
control of visceral effectors, coordinates organ systems, maintains homeostasis
what is the HQ of the autonomic nervous system?
hypothalamus
the hypothalamus is the HQ of what nervous system?
the hypothalamus is the HQ of the autonomic nervous system
somatic efferent innervation and autonomic efferent innervation are different because of this structure…
no ganglia in somatic motor division
does somatic efferent innervation have a fast or slow impulse
the somatic motor division has a fast impulse
does autonomic efferent innervation have a fast or slow impulse
the visceral motor division has a slow impulse
does somatic efferent innervation have a large or small diameter
the somatic motor division has a large diameter
does autonomic efferent innervation have a large or small diameter
the autonomic motor division has a small diameter
are the axons in somatic efferent innervation myelinated or unmyelinated
myelinated in somatic motor division
are the axons in autonomic efferent innervation myelinated or unmyelinated
both myelinated and unmyelinated in visceral motor division
what NTs are released in the somatic motor division
acetylcholine (ACh)
what NTs are released in the autonomic efferent innervation
acetylcholine (ACh)
and norepinephrine (NE) in post-ganglion only
describe: pre-ganglionic neuron
in ANS
synapses with postganglion
location: pre-ganglionic neuron
SC or brainstem
location: post-ganglionic neroun
in PNS
function: post-ganglionic neuron
fibers extend from ganglion to visceral effectors
the hypothalamus regulates pre-/post-ganglionic neurons
pre-ganglionic neurons
diff. between neurons extending from CNS to effector in SNS and ANS
SNS: one lower motor neuron with no ganglia
ANS: two motor neurons, one pre-ganglionic body in CNS and one ganglionic body in PNS
diff. between neuron axons in SNS and ANS
SNS: thick myelinated fast
ANS: pre- thin, w/ myelin, slow
post- thinner, unmyelinated, slow
response of effectors in SNS and ANS
SNS: excitation only
ANS: excitation and inhibition
two divisions of ANS
sympathetic and parasympathetic
the sympathetic division is also referred to as…
thoracolumbar division T1 -> L2
