Q

ANS is a “motor” system and requires _____ input.

This feedback comes from viscera and other autonomically innervated structures

22
Q

in ANS, Most reflex responses do not require _______ control

23
Q

Most organs have___ innervation (i.e., sympathetic and parasympathetic)

24
Q

Do both the sympathetic and parasympathetic provide equal stimulation in a given situation?

A

One system usually predominates in any given situation

25
examples that only have sympathetic innervation
``` Adrenal medulla Kidney Pilomotor muscles Sweat glands Vascular pressure (virtually no participation by parasympathetic system) ```
26
Sympathetic sites of origin
thoracic and lumbar region of the spinal cord
27
parasympathetic sites of origin
brain and sacral areas of the spinal cord
28
Sympathetic length of fibers
short preganglionic | long postganglionic
29
parasympathetic length of fibers
long preganglionic | short postganglionic
30
location of ganglia in sympathetic system
close to spinal cord
31
location of ganglia in parasympathetic system
within or near effector organs

34
sympathetic nervous system distribution
wide
35
parasympathetic nervous system distribution
minimal
36
sympathetic nervous system type of response
diffuse
37
parasympathetic nervous system type of response
discrete
38
Hormones are | Secreted into blood via _____ cells- Action is widely distributed
endocrine
39
these are Chemical secreted by tissues. Action is on immediate environment surrounding secreting tissues--Do not enter blood
Local mediators
40
______ are distinct anatomical units with no structural continuity
Neurons
41
neurons Require release of ______ at nerve terminals to communicate with other neurons or effector organs
neurotransmitters
42
NT Release is triggered by ______ which leads to membrane depolarization
action potential
43
Increase in intracellular Ca2+ initiates fusion of vesicles (containing neurotransmitters) and release of their contents into _____.
synaptic cleft
44
Once the neurotransmitter is released, it diffuses across the ______.
synaptic cleft
45
Once the neurotransmitter is released, it diffuses across the synaptic cleft. It can then react with receptors on the _______.
postsynaptic OR presynaptic neuron
46
neurotransmitters do not diffuse through cell membranes…they need _____ to have an action
receptors
47
common Neurotransmitters
``` Norepinephrine (NE) [and closely related epinephrine (Epi)] Acetylcholine (ACh) Dopamine (DA) Serotonin (5-HT) Histamine γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) Glutamate ```
48
ANS fibers can be divided into 2 groups based on _____of the neurotransmitter released
chemical nature
49
If mediated by ACh: neuron termed ______.
cholinergic
50
When NE or Epi is transmitter, the neuron is termed ____.
adrenergic
