Exam 3 Flashcards
Function of the Autonomic Nervous System(ANS)
Controls cardiac and smooth muscle, glandular secretion, all involuntary functions
How does the ANS differ from the somatic nervous system?
ANS has two motor neurons
Lateral grey horn synapses at autonomic ganglia at next neuron
Pre ganglion and post ganglion
SNS - one motor neuron to skeletal muscle
Location of the thoracolumbar division of the ANS?
Lateral grey horn
T1 to L2/L3
Thoracolumbar Parasympathetic or sympathetic?
Sympathetic
Location of the craniosacral division of the ANS
CN 3,7,9,10
S2 to S4
Craniosacral division of ANS
Parasympathetic or sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Classification of Pre ganglion neurons
Type B fibers
Medium Sized
Myelinated 15 m/s
Classification of post ganglion neurons
Type C fibers
Small diameter
Unmyelinated
Name of the 3 autonomic ganglia
Sympathetic Trunk/Chain
Prevertebral, terminal
Prevertebral ganglion, #, location, P or S
5, anterior to the vertebral column in the abdominopelvic area
Sympathetic
Terminal ganglion #, location, P or S
Visceral affector, smooth muscle, glands, parasympathetic
Sympathetic Trunk/Chain # and location, P or S
22 pair of ganglion
Along vertebral column
Sympathetic
Structure of olfactory cells
Bipolar neurons
Expanded dendrite with 6 olfactory hairs, reproduce every 30 days, contain basal cells
Where are taste buds located?
Tounge - vallate papilae and fungiform papilae
Soft palate
Throat
Epiglottis
10k
50 receptor cells per tastebud
Cranial Nerves that innervate the tongue and throat
CN 7, 9, 10
Facial, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus
7 - Anterior 2/3
9 - Posterior 1/3
10 - soft palate, throat to epiglottis
What is the lacrimal apparatus?
Tear glands and tear ducts
Order of the three tunics of eyeball, superficial to deep
Fibrous, Vascular(Uvea), Nervous/Retinal
Parts of fibrous tunic of eyeball
Posterior portion - strong collagen CT, vascular, white of eye, sclera
Anterior portion - epithelial, clear, transparent, over color, cornea, avascular
Part of vascular tunic of eyeball
Choroid, vascular, darkly pigmented
Cilliary body - thickest
Iris - smooth muscle, circular and radial, pigmented, regulates light entry
Differentiate between the ciliary body, ciliary process, and ciliary muscle
Body has two parts
Muscle - smooth muscle attaching to lens via zonular fibers, increase and decrease tension on lens
Process - secretes aqueous humor
Photoreceptor cells for colored vision
Cones
Photoreceptor cells for dim light vision
Rods
Refraction
Bending of light through transparent solid or liquid
Accommodation
Change in lens, thicker for close up, thinner for faraway
Convergence
Medial movement, nasal movement, eyes looking close together funny
Where is aqueous humor found?
Anterior cavity of eyeball, drains through canal of Schlem from anterior chamber to posterior chamber
Glaucoma
Increased pressure due to overproduction or improper draining of aqueous humor
Where is vitreous humor/body found?
Behind the lens to the retina, clear gelatin giving the eye its shape
Myopia
Near sighted
Caused by longer eyeball or thicker lens
Difficulty seeing things far away
Hypermetropia
Farsightedness
Caused by shorter eyeball or thinner lens
Difficulty seeing things up close
Presbyopia
Decreased pliability of lens due to aging, doesn’t change shapes
Difficulty seeing up close
Amacrine and horizontal cells
Located in retina, area of the photoreceptors and bipolar cells
Helps maintain visual acuity and sharpness in illumination changes
Parts of the external ear
Exterior ear is auricla or pinna
Helix and lobule
External auditory canal
Tympanic Membrane(Ear drum)
