exam 4 Flashcards
effectors of somatic ns
skeletal muscle
effectors of autonomic ns
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle
glands
number of neurons between cns and effector of somatic ns
1
number of neurons between cns and effecotr of autonomic ns
2
neurotransmitter used in somatic ns
AcH
neurotransmitter used in autonomic ns
AcH or norepinephrine
effect of neurotransmitter binding its receptor in somatic ns
excitatory
effect of neurotranmitter binding its receptor in autonomic ns
excitatory or inhibitatory
two neuron pathway of ans
pre and post ganglionic neuron
preganglionic neuron
cell body in brain or spinal cord
axon extends to autonomic ganglion in pns
releases AcH to excite neuron
postganglionic neuron
cell body is in ganglion
axon extends to smooth musclr, cardiac muscle or gland
releases AcH or NE to excite or inhibit
hypothalamus controls
both divisions of ans
brainstem regulates
visceral recflexes
spinal cord regulates
ans reflexes
parasympathetic
rest and digest
sympathetic
fight or flight
parasympathetic maintains
homeostasis at rest
craniosacral division
preganglionic cel bodies in brainstem and S2 - S4
size of axons in parasympathetic
preganglionic are long
postganglionic are short
location of ganglia in parasympathetic
terminal
close or inside wall of effector organs
cranial nerves in parasympathetic

sympathetic prepares for
exercise and emergency
thoracolumbar division
sympathetic
preganglionic cell bodies in lateral gray horns T1 - L2
size of axons in sympathetic
preganglionic axons are short
postganglionic axons are long
ganglia location in sympathetic
lateral to spinal cord
preganglionic neurons in sympathetic trunk
synapse with ganglia in immediate area
ascend or descen to synapse
systemic effects of sympathetic
many branches simultaneously synapse with multiple
adrenal medulla pathway
preganglionic sympathetic axons extend through sympathetic trunk without synapsing
preganglionic cells stimulate adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and NE into blood
prolong fight or flight
cells that release AcH are
chokinergic neurond
cholinergic neurons
all ans preganglionic neurons
all parasympathetic postganglionic neurons
sympathetic postganglionic neurons innervating sweat glands and blood vessels in skeletal muscle
have cholinergic receptors
cells that release norepinephrine are
adrenergic neurons
adrenergic neurons
most sympathetic postganglionic neurons are adrenergic
target cells have adrenergic neurons
types of cholinergic receptors
nicotinic
muscarinic
nicotinic receptors
sensitice to nicotine
found on all postganglionic neurons and adrenal medulla cells
when AcH binds it opens Na channels
cell depolarizes
EPSP
muscarinic receptors
senstive to muscarine
found in all target organs of parasympathetic division and few sympathetic
sweat glands
blood vessels in skeletal muscle
excite or inhibit
where does epinephrine and NE bind to
adrenergic receptors
adrenergic receptor types
alpha
beta
excite and inhibit
autonomic tone
innervated by both divisions of ans
continously release neurotransmitter
dual innervation
organ recieves input from both parasympathetic and sympathetic
antagonistic effects
two divisions oppose each other
heart rate in ans
ps: slows
symp: increases
gi tract in ans
ps: increases motility
symp: decreases motility
pupil in ans
ps: constricts
symp: dilates
urine formation in ans
ps: increases urine formation
sympa: decreases urin formation
bronchials in ans
ps: contriction
sympa: dilation
cooperative effects
parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation have different effectd that are apart of overall response
ps: male erection
symp: ejaculation
structures without dual innervation (sympathetic only)
smooth muslce in walls of blood vessels
sweat glands in trunk
arrector pili msucles in skin
adrenal medulla neurosecretoru cells
sensory receptors
respond to stimuli
action potential
transducers
convert stimulus energy into electrical energy
sensation
stimulus we are consciously aware of
modality
type of stimulus based on labeled
optic nerve signals as visual
tonic receptors
show limited adaptation
respond continuously
phasic receptors
adapt rapidly
only respond to new stimuli
somatic sensory receptors
tactile receptors of skin and mucous membranes
proprioceptors of joints, muscles, and tendons
visceral sensory receptors
internal organs
monitor stretch, chemicals, temp, pain
chemoreceptors
detect chemicals dissolved in fluid
thermoreceptors
detect changes in temp
photoreceptors
detect changes in light intensity, color, movement
mechanoreceptors
detect distortion of cell membrane
nociceptors
detect painful stimuli
tactile receptors
abundant mechanoreceptors of skin and mucous membrane
referred pain
inaccurate localization
signals from viscera percieved from skin or muscle
olfaction
detection of ordors
olfactory epithelium
sensory receptor organ
process of olfaction
olfactory receptor cells detect odors’
supporting cells sustain receptors
basal cells replace olfactory receptor cells
rate of replacement olfactory cells
every 40 to 60 days
general pathway of neurons in olfaction
contain cilia with chemoreceptors for specific ordorant
axons form olfactory nerves that end in olfactory bulbs, synapse
project into temporal lobe, hypothalamus, amygdala, etc
5 basic tastes
sweet salt sour bitter umami
nerve that carries majority of tast info
cn 7 facial
cn 9 glossopharyngeal
cornea
convex transparent structure at front of eye
no blood vessels
refracts light
iris
gives eye color
smooth muscle, melanocytes, vessels, neural structures
controls pupil diameter

more numerous
highly sensitive
activated by dim light
converge on bipolar cells
cones
concentrated at fovea centralis
attracted by high intensity loght-color vision
one to one relationship with bipolar cells-sharp image in bright light
tears
