Lecture 7- ANS Flashcards
what is the function of the hypothalamus
center of central ANS
metabolism and reproduction
what is the paraventricular nucleus
in the hypothalamus
center of center
produces oxytocin
what is the higher level control system and what makes it up
limbic system
OFC, amgydala
where does the visceral sensory go through
brainstem nuclei and spinal cord
which of the extra-hypothalamus are closed loop and open loop and why
limbic- open due to internal cues
visceral sensory- closed due to external cues
what is the function of the anteromedial zone of hypothalamus
parasympathetic and enteric
what is the function of the laterocaudal zone of hypothalamus
cardiovascular/ sympathetic
what central ANS descending tract starts in the paraventricular nucleus
dorsal longitudinal fasciculus
what central ANS descending tract starts from the higher control centers
medial forebrain bundle
(OFC, amygdala, etc)
what central ANS descending tract starts in the tegmentum of the brainstem
mammillotegmental tract
what is the pathway for the descending central ANS tracts
their starting points
1. mesencephalic reticular formation
2. pontine reticular formation
3. raphe nuclei
where is the ending points for the descending central ANS tracts
DLF and MFB is throughout spinal cord
Mammilotegmental is the brainstem
how does the somatic motor system work
1 cell
lower motor neuron in ventral horn
skeletal m
NMJ
how does the visceral motor system work
2 cell system
1. preganglionic neuron (para and symp)
2. ganglionic neuron- lower motor neuron
smooth m and cardiac m and glands
bead like synapse along axon terminal
what is a divergence synapse in a ganglia
one preganglionic axon synapses with multiple 2nd cells
what is a convergence synapse in a ganglia
multiple preganglionic axon on one 2nd cell
where is the first order neuron of the sympathetic arm
lateral/intermdiolateral horn in sp cord
T1-L2
laminae VII
what is the 2nd order neuron of the sympathetic arm
paravertebral- same segment or multiple
or
prevertebral- splanchnic nerve
what is the greater sphlanchnic n
T5-9
foregut
what is the lesser sphlanchnic n
T10-11
midgut
what is the least sphlanchnic n
T12
adrenal gland and kidney
what is the lumbar sphlanchnic n
L1-2
hindgut
what is the sympathetic neck innervation
merge into sp n and follow arteries
what is the sympathetic head innervation
hike common carotid first then hoke CN V division branches
