TermDefinition
Somatic motor controls what skeletal muscle
Autonomic motor controls what smooth/cardiac muscle, glands
Somatic nervous system single neuron, always excitatory
Autonomic nervous system 2-neuron chain, excitatory and inhibitory - has ganglion (cell bodies outside CNS)
Sympathetic division short preganglionic fiber, long postganglionic fiber
Parasympathetic divisionlong presynaptic fiber, short postsynaptic fiber - ganglion closer to target
Sympathetic trunksympathetic ganglia that lie on vertebral column - paravertebral ganglion
Sympathetic division neural pathways - synapse w/ postganglionic neuron in sympathetic ganglion - travel up/down chain and synapse w/ other ganglia - pass through chain w/o synapsing and continue to collateral ganglion as splanchnic nerve
Communicating rami connect paravertebral ganglion to spinal nerve
White rami myelinated preganglionic fiber leaves spinal nerve and enters sympathetic ganglion
Gray rami unmyelinated fiber leaves ganglion to re-enter spinal nerve
Adrenal medulla innervated by what?sympathetic preganglionic neurons
Adrenal medulla releases what epinephrine & norepinephrine
Fight or flight: eyesdilate pupil, adjusts for vision
Fight or flight: cardiovascular increase heart rate
Fight or flight: blood vessels constriction
Fight or flight: lungsdilate bronchioles and inhibit mucus secretion
Fight or flight: digestive tract decreased motility, inhibit digestive secretion
Fight or flight: endocrine glandsstimulate epinephrine secretion, norepinephrine secretion
Fight or flight: exocrine glands stimulate secretion
Fight or flight: bladderprevent voiding
Fight or flight: genitals M: emission F: uterus contraction
How is the vagus nerve supplied parasympathetic nervous system
Terminal ganglionparasympathetic ganglion on innervated organ
Rest or digest: eyespupil constriction, near vision
Rest or digest: cardio decrease heart rate
Rest or digest: blood vessels no innervation
Rest or digest: lungs constrict bronchioles, stimulate mucus
Rest or digest: digestive tract increase motility, stimulate digestive secretions
Rest or digest: endocrine glands none
Rest or digest: exocrine glands stimulate saliva
Rest or digest: bladderVoid
Rest or digest: genitalserection
Exceptions to dual innervation adrenal medulla, blood vessels, sweat glands
Antagonistic dual innervation Sympathetic: decrease motility, increase heart rate Parasympathetic: increase motility, decrease heart rate
Cooperative dual innervationSalivary: both change type and volume of saliva
Varicosityswelling of postganglionic fiber (contains synaptic vesicles w/ neuroT's) - allow for bigger SA
Cholinergic receptors bind what?ACh
Types of cholinergic receptors nicotinic and muscarinic
Nicotinic receptors Nm: skeletal muscle Nn: postsynaptic cell bodies in autonomic ganglia (symp/para)
Ionotropic receptor type of nicotinic receptor - ligang-gated
Mechanism of ionotropic receptors - ACh binds to open cation channel - Na/K go through and Na movement = depolarization - produces EPSP
Muscarinic receptors found on effector cell membranes (smooth/cardiac muscle and sweat glands)
Metabotropic receptor type of muscarinic receptor - binding of ACh excites or inhibits target w/ g-protein
Adrenergic receptors bind NE/E - found on effector cells membranes
Convergencemany presynaptic neurons form synapses w/ one postsynaptic neurons
Divergencepresynaptic neuron form synapes w/ many postsynaptic neuron
T/F: sympathetic nervous system has more divergence than convergenceTrue
Integrating centers for autonomic reflexesspinal cord, medulla oblongata, hypothalamus
