Bundles of AXONS or PROCESSES
|
nerves
|
|
Collection of cell bodies
|
ganglia
|
|
Conduct information away from cell bodies
|
motor or efferent fibers
|
|
Monitor stimuli generated from the periphery to the CNS
|
sensory or afferent fibers
|
|
Distributed to skeletal muscle and to skin and membranes associated with the body wall. Motor components control voluntary movements and sensory components contain exteroreceptors.
|
Somatic (Spinal) nerves
|
|
Distributed to organs, motor components control involuntary movement of smooth and cardiac muscle, glands. Sensory components call interoreceptors relay information from internal tissues and organs
|
Visceral nerves
|
|
autonomic nervous system
|
Regulates, coordinates, and integrates the activity, responses, and functions of the individual organs (viscera)
|
|
Innervates involuntary muscle (smooth, cardiac) and glands
|
autonomic nervous system
|
|
initiates involuntary activities
|
autonomic nervous system
|
|
sensory fibers that monitor the functional status of viscera and convey the sensation of visceral pain
|
interoreceptors
|
|
1 of 2 divisions of ANS that mobilizes energy reserves and generates an "all or none" response
|
sympathetic
|
|
1 of 2 divisions of ANS that conserves resources, integrates and regulates body systems, and generates a localized/specific response.
|
parasympathetic
|
|
location of preganglionic neuron
|
CNS (brain or spinal cord)
|
|
location of postganglionic neuron
|
PNS ganglion where synapse occurs
|
|
two neuron chain
|
In the autonomic nervous system an intervening synapse is required to produce an effect
|
|
Autonomic ganglia are located in the CNS or PNS
|
PNS
|
|
3 ways autonomic nerves are distributed to organs
|
independently forming a named nerve of plexus, with spinal or cranial nerves and their branches, with blood vessels
|
|
Exceptional organs that do not receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers
|
smooth musculature of cutaneous blood vessels, erector pili, and sweat glands (receive only postganglionic sympathetic fibers)
|
|
The segments in between which the sympathetic component of the ANS originates
|
T1-L2
|
|
Where does the parasympathetic component of the ANS originate?
|
Brain and S2-S4
|
|
Only location in the entire nervous system where preganglionic sympathetic neurons are found
|
Intermediolateral cell column of the gray matter of the spinal cord at levels T1-L2
|
|
Axons of the preganglionic sympathetic neurons exit the gray matter of the spinal cord as components of the _____ roots of spinal nerves
|
ventral
|
|
___ganglionic neurons travel through the white ramus commicans to before entering the paravetebral or pre-vertebral sympathetic chain ganglia
|
pre
|
|
___ganglionic neurons travel through the gray ramus commicans to be distributed to the skin together with somatic sensory fibers in the dorsal or ventral rami.
|
post
|
|
location of paravertebral chain ganglia
|
adjacent to the vertebral column bilaterally and run from the cervical to the coccygeal region.
|
|
location of pre-vertebral chain ganglia
|
in the abdominal cavity in association with (in front of) major branches of the aorta for which they are named.
|
|
3 possible courses for a presynaptic fiber in the sympathetic trunk
|
enter and synapse immediately with a postsynaptic neuron of the paravertebral ganglion at that level, ascend of descend in the sympathetic trunk to synapse with a postsympathetic neuron of a different level, or pass through the sympathetic trunk without synapsin, continuing on by means of an abdominopelvic splanchnic nerve to reach a prevertebral ganglion.
|
|
The postganglionic fiber (axon) exits via a gray ramus communicans to join either the _____ or ____ ramus
|
ventral or dorsal
|
|
What are the different types of fibers contained within a dorsal or ventral ramus?
|
somatic motor, somatic sensory, postganglionic sympathetic AKA
somatic efferent, somatic afferent, visceral efferent |
|
ventral ramus of thoracic spinal nerve is aka
|
intercostal nerve
|
|
preganglionic sympathetic fibers exit the spinal cord via the ____ root to travel through a white ramus communicans to synapse in the sympathetic chain
|
ventral
|
|
a post-ganglionic fiber destined to travel through the skin via a dorsal or ventral ramus will traverse the ____ ramus communicans?
|
gray
|
|
(T/F) There are NO parasympathetic fibers located in the dorsal or ventral rami.
|
TRUE

sympathetic neuron that terminates in smooth muscle of peripheral blood vessels to vasoconstrict
|
|
Sudomotor
|
sympathetic neuron that stimulates sweat glands in the skin
|

(T/F) Some postganglionic sympathetic fibers are distributed directly to the heart or lungs.
|
TRUE
|
