Consists on motor neurons that innervate smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands, makes adjustments and operates the subconscious control

Automatic nervous system

The automatic nervous system differs from the somatic nervous system effectors, efferent pathways and ganglia, target organs responses to neurotransmitters

.

Somatic nervous system innervates ___________ muscles

Skeletal

The ANS intervates_______ muscle, ________ muscle, and ________

Cardiac, smooth, glands

Is a cell body in the CNS, and a single, thick myelinated group and axons extend into spinal and cranial nerves directly to skeletal muscles

Somatic nervous system

The ANS uses two motor neuron pathways called

Preganglionic neuron and postganglionic neuron

Cell body in the CNS with thin lightly myelinated preganglionic axon extending to ganglion

Preganglionic neuron

Cell body synapses with preganglionic axon in autonomic gangleon with nonmyelinated postganglionic acts on that extends to effector organs

Postganglionic neuron

.

Preganglionic and postganglionic fibers release ACh and effect is either stimulatory or inhibitory, depending on type of receptors

.

Two divisions of the ANS are

Parasympathetic division and sympathetic division

Promotes maintenance functions, conserves energy

Parasympathetic division

Mobilizes body during activity

Sympathetic division

All visceral organs are served by both divisions, but these divisions cause opposite effects

Dual innervation

This division keeps body energy used as low as possible, even while carrying out maintenance activities, also referred to as rest-and-digest system

Parasympathetic division

Exercise, excitement, emergency, embarrassing activities activates this division, also referred to as the fight-or-flight system

Sympathetic division

The three main differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are site or origin, relative length of fibers, location of ganglia

N

Parasympathetic fibers originate in brain and sacral spinal cord, have long preganglionic fibers and short postganglionic fibers, and ganglia are located in or near the visceral effector organs
