|
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
|
Motor neurons that innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands. - regulate heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and urination
|
|
2 Divisions of ANS
|
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
|
|
Sympathetic
|
Fight or flight, mobilizes the body
|
|
Parasympathetic
|
Resting and digesting, conserves energy, innervate same visceral organs, cause opposite effect
|
|
Origin of fibers in sympathetic and parasympathetic
|
Sympathetic- thoracolumbar division of spinal cord
Parasympathetic - craniosacral division |
|
Location of autonomic ganglia
|
Sympathetic- Chain ganglia
Parasympathetic - Near organ |
|
Neurotransmitters
|
Sympathetic-Acetylcholine, norepinephrine, epinephrine
Parasympathetic - Acetylcholine |
|
Parasympathetic
|
Slows heart rate, lungs constrict, digestion increases, bladder contracts, iris constrics, penis erects
|
|
Sympathetic
|
Heart rate increases, lungs dilate, digestion decreases, bladder relaxes, pupils dilate, blood vessels constrict, penis ejaculates
|
|
Hemiplegia
|
Paralysis of the upper and lower limbs on one side of the body, usually result from a stroke
|
|
