Parasympathetic fibers leave the brain stem through which cranial nerves?

7, 10, 9, 3

Which neurotransmitter is released by both preganglionic and postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic division?

Acetylcholine

Major control center for the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system

Hypothalamus

Name the cranial nerve that regulates secretion from the tear glands, the salivary glands, and the nasal glands

#7 Facial

Parasympathetic fibers that arise from S2 to S4 form the

Pelvic splanchnic nerves

Pelvic splanchnic nerves lead to the

Inferior hypogastric plexus

From regions of the CNS do the nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system arise

Sacral and brainstem

Which neurotransmitter is commonly secreted by the postganglionic nerve fibers of the sympathetic division of the ANS

Norepinephrine

Acetylcholine is secreted by what neurons of the parasympathetic division

All preganglionic neurons as well as the postganglionic neurons

The lowest rate of sympathetic nerve firing to the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels causes what

Vasodilation

Which stimuli can trigger the limbic system to influence hypothalamic control of the ANS

Fear, anger, anxiety

What does the limbic system concern

Concerned with connecting sensory and mental experiences with the ANS

Name three things the hypothalamus regulates independently of the limbic system

Thirst ,temperature, hunger

Cell bodies of the sympathetic preganglionic fibers are found in the gray matter in this part of the spinal cord

Lateral horn

Horn

The background activity of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS

Autonomic tone

Vasomotor

Refers to the actions upon a blood vessel which alter its diameter

Name three things to describe the gray communicating ramus

Sympathetic unmyelinated postganglionic

Nerve that carries parasympathetic fibers to the parotid salivary gland

#9 Glossopharyngeal

Which type of neurons make up the Adrenal medulla

Postganglionic sympathetic

name an example of Cooperative effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS

Both autonomic division stimulate saliva gland secretion

Effects of parasympathetic stimulation and sympathetic stimulation on salivary glands

Saliva glands secrete saliva in response to parasympathetic stimulation while the sympathetic division induces the same glands secrete mucus

Name 3 structures that are innervated by parasympathetic fibers that arise from S2 to S4

Reproductive organs, rectum, urinary bladder

Visceral effectors exhibit what when their nerves are severed

Denervation hypersensitivity

The nervous system division that transmits only excitatory signals to the effector cells

Somatic

Parasympathetic fibers leave the brain stem through which cranial nerves

Glossopharyngeal,vagus, facial, oculomotor nerve

Communicating ramus that carries unmyelinated sympathetic postganglionic fibers that exit the ganglion, interest spinal nerve, and then travel to the Target organ

Gray

Another name for the sympathetic nervous system

Thoracolumbar division

From which regions of the CNS do the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system arise?

Thoracic and Lumbar

Describe the paravertebral or sympathetic chain ganglia

Longitudinal series of ganglia adjacent to both sides of the vertebral column

Receptors for epinephrine and norepinephrine are called

Adrenergic receptors

Name some of the functions of the enteric nervous system

To regulate the secretion of digestive enzymes and to regulate motility through the digestive tract

Vasomotor tone is produced by a baseline level of simulation from what division of the ANS

Sympathetic

The parasympathetic division does not typically innervate

Blood vessel

Parasympathetic fibers leave the brain stem through which cranial nerves

IX glossopharyngeal , 3, 7, 10

Division of the ANS that has relatively long preganglionic fibers and short postganglionic fibers

Parasympathetic

Which region of the CNS integrates the reflexes for micturition, defecation, erection and ejaculation

Spinal cord

Micturition

The ejection of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body

How many nerve fibers connect the CNS with an effector in the ANS

2, the first extends from the CNS to the ganglion, and the second from the autonomic ganglion to the effector

The nervous system that consists entirely of neurons embedded in the wall of the digestive tract and does not originate from the brain or spinal cord

Enteric nervous system

From which regions of the CNS do the nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system arise

Arises from the brainstem and S4 to S2 regions of the spinal cord; brainstem & sacral

Type of nerve fibers that secrete norepinephrine

Postganglionic nerve fibers of the sympathetic division

Nerves that carry impulses from the sympathetic trunk ganglia to the collateral ganglia

Splanchnic

Name three effects of the parasympathetic division on the digestive system

Increased pancreatic enzyme secretion, increased gastrointestinal secretion, increased gastric motility

Neural Divergence is extensive in which division of the autonomic nervous system

Sympathetic

Name three things to describe the gray communicating ramus

Sympathetic, unmyelinated, postganglionic

The phenomenon where the sympathetic and the parasympathetic divisions work together to produce a unified outcome

Cooperative effect

Describe a beta adrenergic receptor <3>

It works by a cAMP second messenger system, it inhibits smooth muscle of the bronchioles to enhance airflow, it is usually inhibitory

Which division of the ANS causes bronchial dilation in the respiratory system

Sympathetic

From what region of the CNS do the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system arise

Thoracic and lumbar; sympathetic nervous system also called The thoracolumbar Division

What effect does the parasympathetic division have on the Adrenal medulla

No effect

Describe an alpha adrenergic receptor

It is usually excitatory and may use a calcium second message system

What are the sympathetic effects of the eye

Relaxation of the ciliary muscle and lens for far vision, and pupillary dilation
