12 Cards in this Set

  • Front

CNS - Central Nervous System
within the brain and spinal cord
PNS - Peripheral Nervous System
cranial nerves (I-XII, emerging from base of brain into skull) & spinal nerves outside of the CNS (brain/spinal cord). Spinal nerves emerge from spinal cord out of the vertebra via IVF 1-31
Ganglia
PNS Nerve Cell Bodies
Peripheral Nervous System Divisions

Somatic (SNS)
sensory from the periphery to the CNS, and, motor from the CNS to the periphery (to the muscles); voluntary
Peripheral Nervous System Divisions

Enteric Nervous System(ENS)
Independent. Stim. by changes w/in gut i.e. chemical/stretch
Peripheral Nervous System Divisions

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
involuntary. Div. into opposing sympathetic/parasympathetic. Sensory from viscera but consisting mostly of motor to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland secretion
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Divisions

Sympathetic (thoracolumbar)
with thoracic and lumbar cell bodies. preganglionic fiber short. Postganglionic fiber long.Fight/Flight. EPi and NE adrenal gland prod. Dilate pupils and bronchioles, raise HR, dilate blood vessels of cardiac, skeletal muscles, brain, lungs. Increase glycogenlysis (liver glycogen to glucose for energy) constriction of skin, nonessential blood vessels. Down in motility of GI tract
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Divisions

ParaSympathetic (craniosacral)
with cranial and sacral cell bodies (ganglion). Rest and digest. mnemonic - 1(0)973 - for cranial nerves that carry it. Think ConStricts/CranioSacral
Preganglionic fibers are long, postganglionic are short (therefore near effector organ). Constrict pupils, bronchioles, lower heart, raise GI tract motility
ANS Neurotransmitters

Cholinergic - Acetylcholine
All pre-ganglionic, sympathetic & parasympathetic, All post-ganglionic parasympathetic, Occasional/few post-ganglionic sympathetic fibers, Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inactivation.
ANS Neurotransmitters

Adrenergic - Norepinepherine
postganglionic sympathetic fibers Most
Neutotransmitters and Receptors

Sympathetic
Pregangionic fibers (short) always cholinergic. Postganglionic fibers (long) mostly adrenergic, a few cholinergic (glands
Neurotransmitters and receptors

Parasympathetic
Pregangionic fibers (long) always cholinergic. Postganglionic fibers (short) always cholinergic
