Nervous System Anatomy Flashcards
to monitor and regulate function and blood flow to the viscera
Job of the autonomic nervous system
Sensory
Afferent
Motor
Efferent
Things like skeletal muscles, skin, we think about it and can control it
Somatic
Hollow tubes! Controls things like heart, digestive system, smooth muscles.
We don’t control!
Visceral
GSA
General somatic afferent (sensory)
GSE
General somatic efferent (motor)
GVA
General visceral afferent (sensory)
GVE
General visceral efferent (motor)
____ pathway utilized 2 neurons.
GVE
What are the two neurons utilized in the GVE pathway>
One from CNS (brainstem or spinal cord)
One in periphery (ganglia)
In sympathetic pathway, the synapse occurs closer or father to CNS?
Closer!
In PARAsympathetic pathway, the synapse occurs closer or father to CNS?
Farther! longer time as pre-ganglionic.
Somatic or visceral?
Somatic! Effector is skeletal muscles
Somatic or visceral?
Viscera. Effector is cardiac muscle, smooth muscles, glands.
General visceral afferent fibers that course through GVE’s are ____
Sensory
GVA axons pass through sympathetic ganglion _____ synapsing
