Nerves Part 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Spinal Nerves

A
  • pass through the vertebral foramen, then they branch
  • part of the PNS
  • 31 pairs of nerves
  • named from where on the vertebral column they exit
  • leave the vertebral column through the intervertebral foramina

Q

Monosynaptic Reflex

A
  • involves only one synapse connecting the sensory neuron to the motor neuron in the spinal cord
  • can be used to help determine health of PNS
18
Q

5 Components of Monosynaptic Reflexes (Reflex Arc)

A

1) Sensory receptor

30
Q

Efferent Nerves

A

carry signals out from the central nervous system to muscles or glands

31
Q

Efferent Divisions of the peripheral nervous system (2)

A
  1. Somatic nervous
  2. Autonomic nervous system
32
Q

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

A
  • regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and certain glands
  • usually operates without conscious control from the cerebral cortex, but other brain regions, mainly the hypothalamus and brainstem, regulate it
  • release either Acetylcholine (ACh) or norepinephrine (NE)
33
Q

Somatic Motor Neurons

A
  • Axon extended from the CNS and synapse directly with an effector (skeletal muscle)
  • Consist of two motor neurons that synapse in an autonomic ganglion
  • Release Acetylcholine (ACh)
34
Q

Pre-Ganglionic Nerves

A

Release ACh

35
Q

Postganglionic neurons release

A
  • sympathetic: NE
  • Parasympathetic: ACh
36
Q

Sympathetic fibres (Thoracolumbar)

A

Thoracic and Lumbar regions of the spinal cord
- leave the central nervous system at different levels of the spinal cord

37
Q

Parasympathetic fibers (Craniosacral)

A
  • Brainstem and sacral portion of the spinal cord
  • leave the central nervous system at different levels of the spinal cord
38
Q

ANS: Sympathetic Division

A

Fight or Flight
- Short preganglionic fibres (ACh)
- Long postganglionic fibres
(NE & Epi)

39
Q

Adrenal Medulla

A

One set of postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic division never develops axons.

40
Q

Adrenal Gland

A

Releases a mixture into blood
80% epinephrine
20% norepinephrine

41
Q

ANS Parasympathetic Division

A

Rest & Digest
- Long preganglionic fibers (Release ACh)
- Short postganglionic fibers (Release ACh)

42
Q

Parasympathetic Activities (Increase)

A

S.L.U.D.D
Salivation
Lacrimation (tears)
Urination
Digestion
Defecation
