Question
Answer
3 ANS Neurotransmitters   1. Acetylchoine (A Ch)- all PNS preganglionic and postganglionic neurons neurons, all SNS preganglionic neurons 2. Norepinephrine-released by most postganglionic neurons of the SNS 2. Epiphrine-released by the adrenal medulla  
🗑
Axons of the two neuron chain in ANS   1. Preganglionic neuron- cell body of neuron is in CNS, releases ACh 2. Postganglionic neuron- cell body of neuron is in ganglion, releases norepinephrine (sympathetic) and ACh (Parasympathetic)  
🗑
What is a neurotransmitter?   a chemical that gets released  
🗑
Parasympathetic division of ANS   Performs maintenance activités and conserves energy; "rest and digest" ex. digestion, urination and defecation  
🗑
Sympathetic division of ANS   "fight or flight", burns energy, increases activities, mobilizes the body during activities; ex. exercise, excitement, embarrassed and emergency  
🗑
Origin site of sympathetic divisions and length of its neurons   thoracolumbar- emerges from thoracic and lunar regions T1-L2 nuerons- short preganglionic, long postganglionic  
🗑
Location of sympathetic ganglia   close to vertebral column, where pre synapses with post.  
🗑
Somatic nervous system   Controls skeletal muscles, voluntary. Muscles must be excited or they are inactive. Axons extend from CNS to effects, release ACh  
🗑
Autonomic Nervous system   Effects glands, smooth and cardiac muscles, involuntary. Axons are in a two- neuron chain.  
🗑
location of sympathetic chain ganglia   chain runs parallel to vertebral column, extends from C3 to C4  
🗑
location of collateral ganglia   lie anterior to the vertebral column  
🗑
Location of sympathetic neuron's cell bodies   in the lateral gray horns of spinal segments T1-L2  
🗑
White ramus communicans   preganglion passes from the spinal nerve to the sympathetic trunk ganglion  
🗑
gray ramus communicans   post ganglion exits the sympathetic trunk ganglion  
🗑
3 synaptic routes of sympathetic neurons   1) synapse in ganglion (same level). 2) travel through sympathetic trunk and synapse at different ganglion. 3) travel through and synapse at plexus  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
