QuestionAnswer
Where are somatic motor neuron cell bodies located? anterior gray horn
How do somatic motor neurons leave the spinal cord? through the ventral root
The specialized synapse between a nerve and a muscle is called the ___________________. neuro muscular junction(NMJ)
The neurotransmitter for the neuro muscular junction(NMJ)is __________________. acetylcholine(ACH)
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system? sympathetic(fight or flight) parasympathetic(rest and digest)
All autonomic pathways contain a __________________ neuron and a __________________ neuron except for one. preganglionic; postganglionic
Preganglionic neurons are ____________________. myelinated
Postganglionic neurons are __________________. unmyelinated
The autonomic nervous system can be thought of as ______________ system because it has both preganglionic and postganglionic neurons, with the exception of one. two neuron
Somatic motor neurons are part of the autnomic nervous system. True or False False They are not part of the autonomic nervous system.
Postganglionic neurons are going to synapse with an ___________. effector(muscles or glands)
Preganglionic neurons in the ______________ division are located in the lateral gray horns of the spinal cord. sympathetic
The lateral gray horns are located in the ______________ segments and the first two ______________ segments of the spinal cord. 12 Thoracic(T1-T12); Lumbar(L1-L2)
Preganglionic neurons of the ________________ division are located within the four cranial nerve nuclei,______,_______,______,______, and the lateral gray horns of ____________________ segments of the spinal cord. parasympathetic; Cranial nerve III, VII, IX, X; 2nd thru 4th Sacral(S2-S4)
Because the preganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic region are located in some of the cranial nerves and some of the sacral segments, the parasympathetic division is also known as _________________. the craniosacral division
There are 2 sympathetic chains, one on each side of the _________________ and one just anterior to the vertebral column near the aorta. spinal cord
The sympathetic chain located anterior to the vertebral column near the aorta is called ____________________. prevertebral ganglia
List the two groups of sympathetic ganglia. 1)Sympathetic trunk ganglia 2)Prevertebral ganglia
The ______________________ ganglia innervates structures above the diaphragm. sympathetic trunk
The ______________________ ganglia innervates structures below the diaphragm. prevertebral
Preganglionic sympathetic neurons are _____________ than postganglionic neurons. shorter
List the three important prevertebral ganglia(below the diaphragm). -Celiac ganglion -Superior mesenteric ganglion -Inferior mesenteric ganglion
Preganglionic neurons do not have to synapse at the same level of the sympathetic chain ganglion it came out of. True or False True Once preganglionic neurons come out onto the sympathetic chain, it may synapse anywhere on the sympathetic chain ganglion.
Preganglionic axons of the ___________________ division synapse with terminal ganglia. parasympathetic
___________ ganglia are located close to or within the wall of a visceral organ. Terminal
Preganglionic parasympathetic neurons are ___________ than preganglionic sympathetic neurons. longer
Preganglionic parasympathetic neurons are longer than preganglionic sympathetic neurons because they have to stretch all the way from the CNS to a ___________________. terminal ganglion
When preganglionic sympathetic axons exit the intervertebral foramen to get to the nearest sympathetic trunk ganglion, they pass through a short pathway called _____________. white ramus
The white ramus is white becuase the preganglionic fibers that go through there are _________________. myelinated
The gray ramus is gray because the postganglionic neuro fibers that go through there are ______________________. unmyelinated
When the axons of postganglionic neurons leave the sympathetic trunk to merge with the anterior ramus of the spinal nerve, they pass through a short pathway called ___________. gray ramus
Postganglionic sympathetic neurons release a transmitter called ___________________ except for one exception. norepinephrine(NE)
All preganglionic neurons, in either the sympathetic or parasympathetic division, release the neurotransmitter _____________. (Cholinergic Neurons in the ANS that release ACH - 1 out of 3 Rules) Acetylcholine(ACH)
Any neuron that releases ACH is called a ____________________. cholinergic neuron
All parasympathetic postganglionic neurons release ______________. (Cholinergic Neurons in the ANS that release ACH - 1 out of 3 Rules) Acetylcholine(ACH)
Sympathetic postganglionic neurons that innervate sweat glands release _____________. (Cholinergic Neurons in the ANS that release ACH - 1 out of 3 Rules) This is the one exception where a postganglionic sympathetic neurons do not release norepinephrin Acetylcholine(ACH)
What are the two classes of cholinergic receptors? -Nicotinic Receptors -Muscarinic Receptors
__________________ receptors are found in the neurons of the postganglionic neurons of both parasymathetic and sympathetic and also in the neuro muscular junction(NMJ) Nicotinic
The neuro muscular junction(NMJ) in the skeletal motor end plate are ________________ receptors. nicotinic
______________ receptors are found in sweat glands and all effectors that are innervated by postganglionic parasympathetic neurons. muscarinic
Any neuron that releases norepinephrine(NE) is called an _______________ neuron. adrenergic
_____________ receptors will bind both norepinephrine(NE) and epinephrine(Epi). adrenergic
What are the two classes of adrenergic receptors? -Alpha -Beta
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) All preganglionic neurons release __________________ as their transmitter. Acetylcholine(ACH)
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) All postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system release _____________ as their transmitter. Acetylcholine(ACH)
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) Most postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system release ________________ as their transmitter with the exception of one. Norepinephrine(NE)
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) Postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system that innervate sweat glands release __________________ as their transmitter. This is the one exception. Acetylcholine(ACH)
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) _________________ is the principal transmitter released by the adrenal medulla. 80% of what is released is the principal transmitter, but the rest that is release is norepinephrine(NE) Epinephrine(Epi)
Neurotransmitter Rules(1 out of 6) All motor neurons to skeletal muscles release _____________ as their transmitter. Acetylcholine(ACH)
Receptor Rules(1 of 4) Nicotinic receptors are located on the cell bodies of all _________________ neurons of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and on cells of the _______________. postganglionic; adrenal medulla
Receptor Rules(1 of 4) _____________ receptors are located on skeletal muscle. Nicotinic
Receptor Rules(1 of 4) Muscarinic receptors are located on all organs regulated by the _______________ nervous system and also on sweat glands. parasympathetic
Receptor Rules(1 of 4) Adrenergic receptors are located on all organs, except sweat glands, regulated by the _______________ nervous system and also on organs regulated by epinephrine released from the _______________. sympathetic; adrenal medulla
Anything that binds to and activates adrenergic receptors is called an adernergic agent or ______________. sympathomimetic
Anything that binds to or activates cholinergic receptors is called a cholinergic agent or _________________. parasympathoimetic
________________ bind to and block adrenergic receptors adrenergic blockers
_________________ bind to and block cholinergic receptors. Anticholinergic agents or cholinergic blockers
