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 |
