W5 Nervous System ANS + Somatic Flashcards
(50 cards)
what nervous system is the ANS a part of
PNS
what is the role of the ANS
regulates activity of internal organs
what does ANS stand for
autonomous nervous system
what is ANS divided into
sympathetic +parasympathetic
what is the sympathetic system controlling
fight or flight
what is the parasympathetic system controlling
rest and digest
In the ANS what does the CNS connect to other neurones with
autonomic ganglia
what are the neurones from the CNS to ganglia described as
preganglionic
which ganglionic fibres are myelinated
preganglionic
which ganglia are located close to CNS
sympathetic ganglia
which ganglia are located closer to target organ
parasympathetic ganglia
which preganglionic axon innervates more cell bodies
sympathetic ganglia
what are paravertebral ganglia
sympatethic ganglia on each side of spinal cord
which neurotransmitter does preganglionic neurones use
acetylcholine
which neurotransmitter does postganglionic neurones use
norepinephrine for sympa
Ach for parasympa
what are nicotinic receptors
where Ach binds to allow ions in
what are muscarnic ACh receptors
where Ach binds to release G coupled proteins
what are adrenoreceptors
where norepinephrine/epinephrine binds to release G coupled proteins
which neruones control muscles
upper motor neurons (UMNs)
how are cholinergic receptors described as
somatic and ANS
what other muscles can the ANS influence
skeletal
what are the steps of the somatic reflex arc
- Sensor/receptor
- Afferent pathway -> to spinal cord/brainstem
- Anintegrating centre, the grey matter of the spinal cord or brainstem synapse
- Efferent pathway -> to the muscles
- Effectormuscle gives response
for involuntary movement what is between the synapes
afferent and efferent neruones
for negative-feedback reflex arc how is the interneurone controlled
inhibitory to target muscles
