| cranial reflexes vs. spinal reflexes | cranial: integration occurs in the gray matter of the brain stem || spinal: integration occurs in gray matter of the spinal cord |
| somatic reflexes vs. autonomic reflexes | somatic involve contraction of skeletal muscles || autonomic involve responses of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands (often not perceived) |
| five functional components of a reflex arc | sensory receptor, sensory neuron, integrating center, motor neuron, effector |
| pupillary light reflex | a rare example of an autonomic reflex that can easily be tested clinically |
| monosynaptic vs. polysynaptic reflex arcs | monosynaptic arcs have only one synapse in the integrating center || polysynaptic arcs (more common) involve more than two types of neurons and more than one integrating center synapse |
| reciprocal innervation | a neural circuit in which the integrating center inhibits muscles antagonistic to the primary muscle involved in the reflex || ----- prevents conflict between opposing muscles and is vital in coordinating body movements |
| patellar reflex | the "knee jerk" in medical checkups || a type of monosynaptic, ipsilateral stretch reflex |
| the flexor reflex | aka withdrawal reflex || a polysynaptic, ipsilateral reflex that activates several muscles in response to a painful stimulus |
| special senses vs. somatic senses | 5 special senses: vision, hearing, taste, smell, equilibrium || 4 somatic senses: pain, thermal, tactile, and proprioceptive sensations |
| interoceptors | sensory receptors that monitor the internal environment of the body; their sensations are not usually consciously perceived |
| dual innervation | most organs receive impulses from both the sympathatic and parasympathetic autonomic motor systems || exceptions: kidney, spleen, hair follicles/arrector pili |
| preganglionic vs. postganglionic neurons | in autonomic motor pathways, preganglionic neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to an autonomic ganglion; postganglionic neurons transmit from the autonomic ganglion to an effector |
| two types of sympathetic ganglia | sympathetic trunk ganglia and prevertebral ganglia |
| sympathetic trunk ganglia | L/in a vertical row on either side of the vertebral column |
| prevertebral ganglia | L/in the abdomen, anterior to the vertebral column |
| terminal ganglia | in parasympathetic motor pathways, ----- are located close to or within their target organ (thus, in the parasympathetic division postganglionic neurons are short) |
| pelvic splanchic nerves | parasympathetic preganglionic neurons leaving sacral segments of the spinal cord extend through the anterior roots of spinal nerves, then branch off to form ----- that continue to terminal ganglia near or within the walls of visceral effectors |
| autonomic plexuses | in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, axons of both symp and parasymp neurons form tangled networks called -----, many of which lie along major arteries |
| cardiac plexus | an autonomic plexus that supplies the heart |
| pulmonary plexus | an autonomic plexus that supplies the bronchial tree |
| cholinergic vs. adrenergic neurons: neurotransmitters | cholinergic release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) || adrenergic release norepinephrine |
| cholinergic vs. adrenergic neurons: location | cholinergic = all symp + parasymp pregang neurons; symp postgang neurons that innervate sweat glands; all parasym postgang neurons || adrenergic = most symp postgang neurons |
| two major types of cholinergic receptor | nicotinic (main effect: muscle contraction) || muscarinic (main effect: sweating) |
| two major types of adrenergic receptor | alpha (1 and 2) and beta (1, 2, and 3) |
| autonomic tone | the balance between symp and parasymp activity or ----- is regulated by the hypothalamus |
| the fight-or-flight response | the classic symp response || elements: dilation of pupils; increase in heart rate and blood pressure; constriction of blood vessels that serve GI tract; dilation of vessels that supply skeletal muscles, heart, liver; liver breaks down glycogen to glucose |
| five major parasympathetic responses | SLUDD || salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, defecation |
| L/the integrating centers for most autonomic reflexes | the hypothalamus and brain stem |
| musculocutaneous nerve | O/C5-C7 || F/M/flexors of arm, including biceps brachii || F/S/skin over lateral forearm |
