Structure and Funct

Week 2

QuestionAnswer
Autonomic nervous system ANS ANS = 2 neurons from CNS to effectors presynaptic neuron cell body in CNS postsynaptic neuron cell body in peripheral ganglion Motor nervous system controls glands, cardiac and smooth muscle also called visceral motor system Regulates unconscious processes that maintain homeostasis BP, body temperature, respiratory airflow ANS actions are automatic
Visceral Reflex Unconscious, automatic responses to stimulation of glands, cardiac or smooth muscle Receptors: detect internal stimuli -- stretch, blood chemicals, etc. Afferent neurons:connect to interneurons inthe CNS Efferent neurons:carry motor signals to effector
Visceral Reflex HBP High blood pressure detected by arterial stretch receptors (1), afferent neuron (2) carries signal to CNS, efferent (3) signals travel to the heart (4), heart slows reducing BP
Sympathetic prepares body for physical activity increases heart rate, BP, airflow, blood glucose levels, etc Shoot (Sympathetic) (Ejaculation) lateral horns of spinal cord (T1-L2) 3 cervical, 11 thoracic, 4 lumbar, 4 sacral and 1 coccygeal ganglia white and gray
Sympathetic Neuronal divergence predominates each preganglionic cell branches and synapses on multiple postganglionic cells produces widespread effects on multiple organs
Parasympathetic Parasympathetic division calms many body functions and assists in bodily maintenance digestion and waste elimination
Parasympathetic Terminal ganglia in/near target organs long preganglionic, short postganglionic fibers Origin of preganglionic fibers pons and medulla (for cranial nerve nuclei) sacral spinal cord segments S2-S4 Pathways of preganglionic fibers cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X arising from sacral spinal cord pelvic splanchnic nerves and inferior hyp
Parasym Cranial Nerves Oculomotor nerve (III) narrows pupil and focuses lens Facial nerve (VII) tear, nasal and salivary glands Glossopharyngeal (IX) parotid salivary gland Vagus nerve (X) viscera as far as proximal half of colon Cardiac, pulmonary, and esophageal plex
Neurotransmitters and Receptors Effects on ANS determined by types of neurotransmitters released and types of receptors on target cells
Neurotransmitters and Receptors Effects on Symp Sympathetic has longer lasting effects neurotransmitters persist in synapse and some reach the bloodstream
Substances Released as Neurotransmitters enkephalin, substance P, neuropeptide Y, neurotensin, nitric oxide (NO) NO inhibits muscle tone in BV walls (vasodilation)
Adrenal Glands Paired glands sit on superior pole of each kidney Cortex:secretes steroid hormones Medulla:a modified sympathetic ganglion stimulated by preganglionic sympathetic neurons Secretes neurotransmitters into blood catecholamines (85% EP and 15% NE)
Cholinergic Receptors for Ach nicotinic receptors on all ANS postganglionic neurons, in the adrenal medulla, and at neuromuscular junctions (skeletal muscle) excitatory when ACh binding occurs muscarinic receptors on all gland, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells that receives
Adrenergic Receptors for NE Norepinephrine binds to 2 classes of receptors alpha adrenergic receptors (often excitatory) beta adrenergic receptors (often inhibitory) Exceptions existence of subclasses of each receptor type alpha 1 and 2; beta 1 and 2
Dual Innervation Most of viscera receive nerve fibers from both parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions Both divisions do not normally innervate an organ equally
Dual Innervation Antagonist effects oppose each other exerted through dual innervation of same effector heart rate decreases (parasympathetic) heart rate increases (sympathetic) exerted because each division innervates different cells pupillary dilator muscle (sympathetic) dilates pupi
Dual Innervation Cooperative effects seen when 2 divisions act on different effectors to produce a unified effect parasympathetics increase salivary serous cell secretion sympathetics increase salivary mucous cell secretion
W/O Dual Innervation Only sympathetic: adrenal medulla, arrector pili muscles, sweat glands and many blood vessels sympathetic stimulation increases blood to skeletal and cardiac muscles -- reduced blood to skin: Sweaty palms bp goes up sympathetics, Go to extremities
Sympathetic and Vasomotor Tone Sympathetic division prioritizes blood vessels to skeletal muscles and heart in times of emergency. Blood vessels to skin vasoconstrict to minimize bleeding if injury occurs during stress or exercise.
Control of ANS Cerebral cerebral cortex has an influence
Control of ANS Hypothalamus (major visceral motor control center) nuclei for primitive functions – hunger, thirst
Contrl of ANS Midbrain, Pons, and Medulla O nuclei for cardiac and vasomotor control, salivation, swallowing, sweating, bladder control, and pupillary changes
Control of ANS Spinal Cord Reflexes defecation and micturition reflexes integrated in cord brain can inhibit these responses consciously
Sympathomimetics stimulate receptors or inc norepinephrine release
Sympatholytics suppress sympathetic activity block receptors or inhibit norepinephrine release
Parasympathomimetics enhance activity while parasympatholytics suppress activity
Management of Clinical Depression Prozac blocks reuptake of serotonin to prolong its mood-elevating effect MAO inhibitors interfere with breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters
Caffeine competes with adenosine (inhibitory; causes sleepiness) by binding to its receptors
Cranial Nerves competes with adenosine (inhibitory; causes sleepiness) by binding to its receptors
