Ex2 L3 ANS Flashcards
Parasympathetic and sympathetic NS are part of which system
Efferent
Under subconscious control of ANS
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands
Which system should be in control most of time?
Parasympathetic NS
Sensory arm of ANS
Autonomic afferent fibers
Target cell of ANS
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands
Reference point of ANS
Ganglion
First synapse in ANS
At ganglion
Second synapse in ANS
Target cells
PNS maintains baseline function how
Highly adapted for very discrete stimulation of one organ vs another depending on needs at the time
Anatomically adapted
Sympathetic NS
Sympathetic nervous system functions how
Global activation
How are PNS/SNS different?
PNS = discrete SNS = global
Sympathetic chain ganglia
One on each side of spinal cord
Most of ganglionic synapse occurs here
Peripheral ganglia
Celiac ganglia
Hypogastric plexus
Preganglionic cells of sympathetic chain ganglia located
Cell bodies in spinal cord
