Lecture 18 Flashcards
The somatic nervous system is divided into what 2 groups
The visceral nervous system is divided into what 4 groups
Visceral afferent components- what are the 4 interoceptors?
Interoceptors
- chemoreceptors
- baroreceptors (blood pressure)
- visceral mechanoreceptors (bladder fullness)
- visceral nociceptors
Visceral afferent components- What do the sensory receptors associate with to transmit signals to the CNS
Peripheral processes of pseudounipolar sensory neurons
The anterior roots of spinal nerves carry what 2 things
Somatic multipolar motor neurons (skeletal muscle), autonomic multipolar motor neurons (cardiac/ smooth/ glands)
Pseudounipolar sensory neurons exit where
Posterior root ganglion
For visceral efferent (motor) neurons where is the synapse
Between CNS and target tissue
What is the somatic nervous system composed of
What is the visceral nervous system composed of
Somatic efferent (SE): always a___________ from the CNS to the target
Single neuron pathway
Autonomic efferent (VE): both SNS and PSNS utilize a _____________- to reach target
Two-neuron pathway with a ganglion
Somatic and visceral afferent (SA, VA): always a ___________
Single neuron pathway from the periphery to the CNS
What are the 2 divisions of the visceral motor system
Sympathetic/ parasympathetic
Parasympathetic nervous system- Length of preganglionic axons and postganglionic axons?
Pre- Long
Post- Short
PSNS- ganglia are located where
In or near wall of target organ
PSNS- low ratio of what
Post- to pre-ganglionic neurons (localized effects)
SNS- Length of preganglionic axons and postganglionic axons
Pre- short
Post- long
SNS- Where are the ganglia located
Close to CNS
SNS- high ratio of what
Post to preganglionic neurons
Which is which
Parasympathetic- where are preganglionic cell bodies
Brainstem nuclei and S2-S4 spinal cord segments
Parasympathetic- where are the postganglionic cell bodies
In intrinsic ganglia (in or near wall of target organ)
Sympathetic- Preganglionic cell bodies are located where
T1-L2 spinal cord segments
Sympathetic- Postganglionic cell bodies are located where
Paravertebral or prevertebral ganglia
Where is the only place we’ll ever have preganglionic sympathetic neurons
T1-L2
