in which division of the ANS are the presynaptic fibers relatively long?
parasympathetic
what is the neurotransmitter that is used in the preganglionic synapses of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions?
acetylcholine
what is the neurotransmitter used in the postganglionic synapses of the sympathetic division?
norepinephrine
what is the neurotransmitter used in the postganglionic synapses of the parasympathetic division?
acetylcholine
what fibers of the ANS are present in every body organ, work at a subconscious level, and are responsible for generalized and "referred" pain
ANS afferents
this word means "going to the viscera"
splanchnic
these splanchnic nerves come from levels T5-T12 and head towards the celiac, superior mesenteric, and aorticorenal ganglia
thoracic
what spinal levels do the thoracic splanchnics come from?
T5-T12
what spinal levels do the lumbar splanchnics come from?
L1-L2, sometimes L3
what spinal levels do the pelvic splanchnics come from?
S2-S4
which splanchnic nerve divisions are part of the sympathetic division?
thoracic and lumbar
which splanchnic nerve division is part of the parasympathetic division?
pelvic
these splanchnic nerves come from L1-L2 and head toward the inferior mesenteric ganglion
lumbar
these splanchnic nerves come from S2-S4 and head toward the distal colon and pelvic viscera
