Trans - Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
primary functional unit of ANS
2 neuron chain system
postganglionic fibers of ANS end in
varicosities
preganglionic fiber - with or without myelin
myelinated
postganglionic fiber - with or without myelin
unmyelinated
preganglionic fiber - receptor
nicotinic
postganglionic fiber - receptor
muscarinic
preganglionic fiber - axon type
type B
postganglionic fiber - axon type
type C
ratio of preganglionic:postganglionic fibers in sympathetic NS
1:5
preganglionic fibers of sympathetic NS arise from
roots T1-L2
thoracolumbar division
sympathetic NS preganglionic
largest cervical ganglion
superior cervical;
what system has short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers
sympathetic NS
what system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers
parasympathetic NS
what system innervates adrenal medulla
sympathetic
what cells of the adrenal medulla are stimulated by the ANS
chromaffin cells
chromaffin cells secrete:
epinephrine and norepinephrine
epinephrine acts on what receptors
alpha 2, beta 2
norepinephrine acts on what receptors
alpha 1, beta 1, beta 3
