Neuro Mod 3 Flashcards
Controls the voluntary actions
and convey sensory information.
Somatic Nervous System
Controls the involuntary actions
and regulates the viscera,
vasculature, and glands.
Autonomic Nervous System
Act in conjunction with
visceral motor fibers to
control visceral functions.
Visceral Sensory Fibers
Carry Sensory Information
from Viscera to CNS
Visceral Sensory Fibers
Related to special sensory
senses.
Special Sensory Fibers
Not classified on both ANS
or Somatic but can modulate
somatic nervous system.
Special Sensory Fibers
Regulates homeostasis and
reproduction.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Regulating the activity of internal
organs and vasculature.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Regulates circulation, respiration,
digestion, metabolism, secretions, body temperature, and
reproduction.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
respond to pressure and to stretch
Mechanoreceptors
sensitive to
chemical concentrations in the
blood.
Chemoreceptors
typically, most
responsive to stretch, ischemia, and
pain stimulus
Nociceptors
hypothalamus
responds to very small changes in
the temperature of circulating
blood. cutaneous thermoreceptors
respond to external temperature
changes.
Thermoreceptors
What are the 2 Afferent pathways
- To the Spinal Cord
- To Brainstem
Sympathetic and
parasympathetic
Efferent
Information from visceral receptors
enters the central nervous system by two
routes which are?
- into the spinal cord via the dorsal
roots - into the brainstem via cranial
nerves
What is the role of the Hypothalamus, Thalamus,
and Limbic System
modulate brainstem autonomic
control.
often
achieved by integrating information
from peripheral afferents with
information from receptors within
the central nervous system.
Autonomic regulation
connections from the central
nervous system to autonomic
effectors uses what?
two-neuron
pathway
neuron extending
from the central nervous system.
Pre-Ganglionic:
The neuron
connecting the ganglion with the
effector organ.
Post-ganglionic
Neurons that secrete acetylcholine
are called what?
cholinergic
Neurons that secrete
norepinephrine or epinephrine are
called what?
adrenergic
The chemical released by all
presynaptic autonomic neurons is what?
acetylcholine (ACh)
Receptors on all postganglionic
neurons are what?
nicotinic.
Sympathetic postganglionic neurons release what?
norepinephrine (NE)
