Question
Answer
What is the target of autonomics?   smooth/cardiac muscle and glands  
🗑
Describe the autonomic neuron pathway.   2 neuron pathway. Neuron 1 is preganglionic with soma in CNS and Neuron 2 is post-ganglionic with soma in the autonomic ganglia  
🗑
Describe the myelination of autonomic nerves   preganglionics are lightly myelinated and post ganglionics are unmyelinated  
🗑
What is the preganglionic neurotransmitter for sympathetic nervous system   acetylcholine  
🗑
What is the postganglionic neurotransmitter for the sympathetic nervous system?   norepi  
🗑
Where do sympathetic neurons travel?   intermediate zone of grey matter in cord  
🗑
What is post ganglionic neurotransmitter for parasympathetic?   acetylcholine  
🗑
what is pre ganglionic neurotranmistter for parasympaththetic?   acetylcholine  
🗑
What is the principal structure for organizing center for ANS activity?   hypothalamus  
🗑
How do sympathetics travel from the hypothalamus?   conneccted to autonomic nuclei and gray matter by axons travellign from Medial hypothalamic nuclei thru dorsal longitudinal fasciculus  
🗑
What ganglia does the occulomotor nerve travel to?   ciliary ganglion  
🗑
What do post-ganglionics from the ciliary ganglion effect?   the eye  
🗑
What ganglion does the facial nerve go to?   pterygopalatine and submandibular ganglion  
🗑
What does the submandimbular and pterygopalatine ganglion effect?   submandibular/sublingual salivary glands and lacrimal glands  
🗑
What ganglion does the glossopharyngeal nerve go to?   otic ganglion  
🗑
What does the otic ganglion effect?   parotid salivary gland  
🗑
Where does the preganglionics of the vagus synapse?   walls of target organs  
🗑
What does the vagus nerve effect?   heart, lungs, bronchi, aorta, liver, gall bladder, stomach, small intestine, proximal portions of the large intestine  
🗑
What is the sacral outflow?   s2-s4 segments of the spinal cord  
🗑
What does the sacral outflow effect?   large intestine, urinary bladder and reporductive organs  
🗑
describe the parasympathetic pathway   preganglionic neurons located in cranial nerve nuclei III, VII, IX and X as well as sacral segments. they travel to the target organ where postganglics then finish the path to teh target on very short post ganglionics  
🗑
Describe the path of the sympathetic nerves   IML > white ramus > chain/ganglia via splanchnics > grey ramus > target organ  
🗑
What are the three sympathetic ganglia in teh abdomen?   celiac ganglion, superior mesenteric ganglion and inferior mesenteric ganglion  
🗑
Where are sympathetihc post-ganglionic neurons located?   sympathetic chain, three ganglia in abdomen and adrenal medulla  
🗑
