Q

ANS

A

System of motor neurons that innervates smooth and cardiac muscles and glands. Also called involuntary or visceral motor system.

2
Q

Two neuron chain

A

ANS uses two neurons to reach the effector unlike the CNS that uses only one

3
Q

Preganglionic neuron

A

First neuron whose body lies lies within the brain or spinal cord, it synapses with the second motor neuron.

4
Q

Post ganglioninc neuron

A

Second motor neuron whose cell body is within the autonomic ganglion outside the CNS.

5
Q

2 autonomic neurotransmitters

A

Acetylcholine

Epi and Nor Epi

6
Q

Autonomic postganglionic fibers release?

A

Epi and Nor Epi

Secreted by most sympathetic fibers

7
Q

Parasympathetic fibers release

A

ACh

8
Q

Dual Innervation

A

Two divisions of the ANS–sympathetic and parasympathetic–balance each other out
Some organs only receive sympathetic stimulation but vital organs have both.

9
Q

Parasympathetic

A

Rest and digest:
Craniosacral: originate in brain and sacrum
Long preganglion short post ganglion fibers
Ganglion are close to organ served

10
Q

Sympathetic

A

Fight or flight:
Thoracolumbar: originate in thoracic and lumbar
Short preganglion and long post ganglion fibers
Ganglion are close to spinal cord

11
Q

Cranial Part

A

Oculomotor (III)
Facial (VII)
Glossopharyngeal (IX)
Vagus (X)

12
Q

Oculomotor nerve

A

Innervated the smooth muscles of the eye that causes the pupil to constrict and lens to bulge. Synapse in the ciliary ganglia

13
Q

Facial nerves

A

Activate nasal glands and lacrimal glands: pterygopalatine ganglia
Stimulate sublingual salivary glands: submandibular ganglia

14
Q

Glossopharyngeal nerves

A

Synapse in the otic ganglia. Activate parotid salivary glands anterior to the ears

15
Q

Vagus Nerve

A

Account for 75% or preganglionic parasympathetic fibers and innervate virtually every thoracic and abdominal oregan

16
Q

Sacral Part

A

Serves pelvic organs and distal half of the intestines. S1-S4 forn the pelvic splanchnic nerves.

17
Q

Sympathetic Division

A

Arise from T1 - L2,

Thoracolumbar division

18
Q

3 locations of sympathetic ganglionic neurons

A
Sympathetic chain ganglia (paravertebral) 
Collateral ganglia (prevertebral)
Adrenal medulla (release neurotransmitters into the blood stream)
19
Q

Cholinergic fibers

A

Fibers that release ACh, effects are always excititory

20
Q

Adernergic fibers

A

Fibers that release NE,

21
Q

Cholinergic receptors

A

ACh binding receptors
Nicotinic
Muscarinic

22
Q

Nicotinic Receptors

A

Ach receptor
Affects are always stimulatory
Found on all postganglionid neurons both sympathetic and parasymathetic
Neuromuscular junctions

23
Q

Muscarinic Receptors

A

Ach receptor
Either inhibitory or stimulatory
Cardiac=slows
Smoth muscle=increases

24
Q

Adenergic receptors

A

NE Binding Receptors
Alpha
Beta

25
Q

NE and Epinephrine

A

Can be either excitatory or inhibitory

depending on target organ

26
Q

Sympathetic or vosomotor tone

A

Partial continual blood vessal constriction, dilate slightly and constrict slightly to maintain BP

27
Q

Parasympetheitc tone

A

Slows heart rate and dictates normal activity in the digestive and urinary tracts

28
Q

Uniquely sympathetic functions

A

Thermoregulatory responce to heat
Release of Renin from Kidneys
Metobolic rate regulation

29
Q

Localized affects

A

Parasympatheitc only has localized affects

30
Q

Localized and Diffuse affects

A

Parasympathetic is both
NE is not hydrolysed as fast as ACh
NE and Epinephrine are released into the boold streem by the Adrenal glands and have a longer lasting effect.

31
Q

Brain stem and spinal cord controls

A

Most direct influence over ANS

32
Q

Hypothalammus

A

“Boss”

Acting through the ANS it coordinated heart activity, BP, body temp, water ballance and endocrine activity. When there is an emotional sterss signal from limbic system the hypothalamas activates the ANS

33
Q

Bio Feedback

A

Becoming aware of physiological conditions with the goal of continual influence

34
Q

Visceral relexes

A

Have two neurons in motor componant

35
Q

Alpha

A

a 1 are the most common: stimulate G protein activation and cause a realease of intracellular calcium from ER
a2 results with lowering cyclic - AMP in the cytoplasm

36
Q

Beta

A

Effects skeletal muscles, heart, lungs, and liver.
G protein activation increases the cyclic- AMP in the cytoplasm
B1: increases metabolic activity
B2: causes inhibition respiratory passageways dilate
B3: lipolysis

37
Q

3 collateral ganglia

A

ciliac
superior mesenteric
inferior mesenteric

38
Q

Sympathetic Division Summary

A

2 sets of chain ganglia- on each side of spinal cord
3 collateral ganglia- one anterior and two to the adrenal medulla
Preganglionic fibers are short
Post ganglionic fibers are longer
All preganglionic neurons release Ach
Most post ganglionic neurons release NE but a few release Ach or NO.

39
Q

Two types of parasympathetic ganglia

A

Terminal: located near the target tissue
Intramural: embedded in the target tissue

40
Q

4 cranial ganglia of the parasympathetic

A

Pterygopalatine
Ciliary
Submandibulr
Otic

41
Q

Summary of the Parasympathetic Division

A

Visceral motor nuclei associated with cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X and sacral segments S1-S4
Ganglia are located proximal or in the target organ
All parasympathetic neurons are cholinergic
Contain either Nicotinic receptors or Muscarinic receptors (excitement of inhibition)
Stimulation is breif and restricted to specific organs

42
Q

6 autonomic plexus’

A
cardiac
pulmonary
esophageal
ciliac
inferior mesenteric
hypogastric
43
Q

Autonomic tone

A

Background level of activity in which both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions innervate. This provides a grater range of control options because of the opposing effects of the two systems. Small amounts of Ach and NE are released contimuously.

44
Q

Visceral reflex arc

A

Consists of a receptor, a sensory neuron, a processing center (one or more interneurons) and two visceral motor neurons.
Long reflex: the processing step involves an interneuron within the CNS
Short reflex: Bypass the CNS - synapse in autonomic ganglia outside the spinal cord

45
Q

Cellular mechanisms of memory formation

A

Increase in neurotransmitters
Facilitation at synapse
Formation of additional synaptic connections
