Q

describe autonomic nervous system’s pathway for motor output

A
  • one preganglionic and one postganglionic neuron (one is short and one is long)
  • pre has its cell body in the CNS
  • pre = B fibre (faster)
  • pre synapses on ganglion
  • post has its cell body outside the CNS
  • post = C fibre (slower)
  • post synapses on target tissue

Q

why are the effects of the sympathetic ns widely spread?

A
  • because one pregang fiber can synapse with many postgang fibers
  • also medulla of adrenal gland releases sympthatheic NTs epinephrine and norepinephrine which travel through the blood across most of the body

Q

describe the sympathetic efferent pathway up to the ganglia

A
  • myelinated pregang neurons from lateral horn leave the sc via the ventral nerve root
  • pass through the spinal nerve and then leave via ramus to sympathetic trunk (paravertebral ganglia)

Q

the preganglionic neuron has three options at the ganglia, what are they?

A

(1) synapse, then unmyelinated postgang neurons pass through the ramus to enter the spinal nerve and then onward to the target site
(2) pregang neurons can travel up or down the sympathetic trunk to synapse in another paravertebral ganglia, then postgang neurons pass through the ramus to enter the spinal nerve and then onward to target site
(3) pregang neurons can pass through the sympathetic trunk without synapsing, to form the splanchnic nerves

Q

where is the lesser splanchnic nerve?

A

T10-T11 thoracic ganglia

20
Q

where is the least splanchnic nerve?

A

(T12-L2 thoracic and lumbar ganglia)

21
Q

describe the pathway and function of splanchnic nerves

A

these nerves synapse in prevertebral ganglia which then sends postgang neurons to abdominal and pelvic viscera

22
Q

a few pregang fibers in the greater splanchnic nerve end directly on cells in the:

A

adrenal medulla

23
Q

describe sympathetic preganglionic neurons

A

unmyelinated, shorter than postganglionic, and relatively slow comducting B fibers

24
Q

describe the sympathetic afferent pathway

A

travels from viscera to the dorsal root ganglia

25
Q

do sympathetic afferent fibers synapse along the way to the sc?

A

no

26
Q

how do parasympathetic preganglionic neurons leave the brainstem?

A

through the nuclei of cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X

27
Q

what is the preganglionic nucleus for CN III?

A

Edinger-Westphal nucleus

28
Q

what is the preganglionic nucleus for CN VII?

A

superior salivatory and lacrimatory nuclei

29
Q

what is the preganglionic nucleus for CN IX?

A

inferior salivatory nucleus

30
Q

what is the preganglionic nucleus for CN X?

A

dorsal nucleus

31
Q

how do parasympathetic preganglionic neurons leave the gray matter of the sc?

A

through sacral nerves 2, 3, 4, and the spalnchnic nerves

32
Q

where parasympathetic preganglionic fibers synapse?

A

in ganglia close to viscera

33
Q

A

short, unmyelinated, smaller than preganglionic and slower conducting C fibers

37
Q

what do postganglionic neurons from CNs III, VII, and IX supply?

A

head

38
Q

what do postganglionic neurons from CN X supply?

A

thorax and descending colon

39
Q

what do postganglionic neurons from S2,3,4 supply?

A

terminal gut and pelvic vicsera (bladder/repro organs)

40
Q

describe the parasympathetic afferent pathway

A

myelinated fibers travel from the vicera to their cell bodies located in the sensory ganglia of cranial nerves or in the dorsal root ganglia of the sacral spinal nerves

41
Q

how are sympathetic postganglionic neurons activated? what are the receptors involved?

A

ach (nicotinic receptors)

42
Q

how are parasympathetic postganglionic neurons activated? what are the receptors involved?

A

ach (nicotinic receptors)

43
Q

what do sympathetic postganglionic neurons release? what are the receptors involved?

A

norepinephrine (a/b receptors)

44
Q

what do parasympathetic postganglionic neurons release? what are the receptors involved?

A

ach (muscarinic receptors)

45
Q

are there any exceptions to NT activation/release?

A

yes - sympathetic postganglionic neurons that end on cells of sweat glands release Ach (cholinergic receptors)

46
Q

what are the levels of autonomic control?

A
  • hypothalamus (regulation btwn two systems)
  • pons, medulla (regulation of autonomic functions)
  • cortex, limbic system (motor arises, sensory arrives)

compare neuron length for pre/postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ns’s

A

symp: short pre, long post
para: long pre, short post
