ANS, eye & brain
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the ANS? | a system of motor neurons that innervate smooth & cardiac muscle as well as glands of the body |
What does the ANS regulate? | visceral functions |
ANS visceral functions | - heart rate - BP - urination - digestion |
Preganglionic neurotransmitter | acetylcholine - cholinergic |
sympathetic | fight or flight |
parasympathetic | rest & digest |
what is another name for sympathetics? | thoracolumbar |
where do sympathetics come from | T1-L2 (lateral horn) |
sympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitters? | norepinephrine - adrenergic |
what is another name for parasympathetics? | craniosacral |
parasympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitters? | acetylcholine - cholinergic |
parasympathetic cranial nerves | III, VII, IX |
what cranial nerves travel with CN V? | III, VII, IX |
innervation of CN III (oculomotor) | smooth muscle of the eye - pupil constriction - lens buldge |
where does the preganglionic neuron of CN III originate? | accessory oculomotor nucleus in the midbrain |
what is the postganglionic neuron of CN III? | ciliary ganglion |
where does the preganglionic neuron of CN VII originate? | lacrimal gland - in the lacrimal nucleus in the pons salivary glands - in the superior salivary nucleus in the pons |
where does the preganglionic neuron of CN IX originate? | inferior salvatori nucleus in the medulla |
what is the postganglionic neuron of CN VII? | lacrimal gland - pterygopalatine ganglion salivary glands - submandibular ganglion |
what is the postganglionic neuron of CN IX? | otic ganglion |
sacral outflow | S2-S4 |
what does the sacral outflow carry? | preganglionic parasympathetic fibers |
what areas do parasympathetics have NO effect on? | - sweat glnds - goose bumps - peripheral blood vessels (vasoconstriction) |
paravertebral ganglia | on both sides of the vertebral column - linked by chains |
prevertebral ganglia | not paired - only in abdomen or pelvis |
preganglionic axons that go to the head | T1-T4 |
preganglionic axons that go to thoracic organs | T1-T6 |
preganglionic axons that go to abdominal organs | T5-L2 |
preganglionic axons that go to pelvic organs | T10-T12 |
parasympathetic stimulation of eye muscles | pupillary constriction |
sympathetic stimulation of eye muscles | pupillary dilation |
tensor tympani | dampen sounds |
stapedius | stabilizes stapes |
chordates tympani | no function in middle ear |
