Autonomic system

terms

QuestionAnswer
sensory and motor divsions each with somatic and visceral subdivisions PNS
signals to CNS sensory(afferent) division
receptors from skin,muscle, bones, joints somatic sensory division
viscera of thoracic and abdominal cavities visceral sensory division
CNS to gland and muscle cells motor (efferent) division
to glands, cardiac, smooth muscle visceral motor division
fight or flight sympathetic division
rest and digest parasympathetic division
control over involuntary functions biofeedback
unconscious autonomic response visceral reflex
autonomic activity requires visceral reflex arc
carries out the end response effector
both system are referred to as autonomic tone
neither division has excitatory or inhibitory effects
control nuclei hypothalmus and brainstem
myelinated axon to skeletal muscle somatic pathway
travel across two nerve fibers autonomic pathways
nuerosoma in the brainstem preganglionic
myelinated second neuron secetes neurotransmitter ACH to stimulate
unmyelinated secon neuron leaves ganglion and extends target organ or cells
secretes Ach or norepinephrine (NE)
preganglionic somas are in the lateral horn
axons exit via spinal nerves
paravertebral gamglion connected to spinal nerve communicating rami
preganglionic fibers to ganglion white communicating ramus
postganglionic fibers leave ganglion gray communicating ramus
post is longer than pre fibers longer
stomach, spleen, liver, pancreas, etc, celiac ganglia
intestine, colon , kidneys superior mesenteric ganglia
rectum, urinary bladder, reproductive organs inferior mesenteric ganglia
scretes steroids adrenal cortex
secretes catecholamines into blood medulla
aderenaline epinephrine
noradrenaline norepinephrine
control lens and pupil, cilliary lll, oculomotor
glands, pterygopalatine Vll, facial
inferior is submandibular facial
last gland is parotid, and otic Ix, glossopharyngeal
smooth muscle not brainstem or spinal cord enteric nervous system
preganglionic secretes in both ACH
postganglionic secretes in P division ACH
binding of Ach to nicotininc excitatory
sympathetic postganglionic fibers norepinephrine
Ach is broken down by ACHe
Ne is broken down by MAO or COMT
blood vessel contricted vasomotor tone
Ans influenced by CNS
passes throughout sympathetic ganglia splanchnic
preganglionic is myelinated
relases nuerotransmitters molecules preganglionic sympthetic fiber
postganglionic is unmyelinated
autonomic fibers on target cells excitory or inhibit, alway excited
order of visceral reflex sensory receptor, affernet nerve , interneuron, efferent nerve fiber, gland
vision oculomotor
ANS controls except skeltal muscle in the rectus abdomin
fibers travel in vagus
reganglionic travels in adrenal medulla
heart rate below intrisinc rate parasympathetic tone
not under control of ANS adrenal medulla
adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine
baroceptor in arteries heart decreses beats

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
