Autonomic system

Involved with everything not motor fxn

Autonomic efferent pathway

Has a central neuron synapse with ganglion neuron

Two parts of autonomic system

Para sympathetic


Sympathetic


(Both disynaptic)

Parasympathetic

Rest and digest

Sympathetic

Fight/flight


Chain ganglion

Advantage of chain ganglion?

-A lot of diversion in the regulation of NS


-Fine tune signaling

Sympathetic chain ganglion

(sympathetic trunk) (paravertebral ganglia)


1. Cervical - 3 superior = sympathetic/medial + inferior = parasympathetic)


2. Thoracic - 12


3. Lumbar - 4


4. Sacral - 4

4 neuronal pathways

1. Same level


T1- preganglionic neuron synapse w T1 chain ganglion (trachea)


2. Adjacent level


T1- preganglionic neuron travel through chain ganglia until it reaches superior cervical ganglia (largest of the 3 cervical ganglia/the only sympathetic one)


3a. Outside chain ganglia


-adrenal medulla: part of adrenal gland


3b. Outside chain ganglia


-collateral ganglia (3 types)


Celiac, superior mesenteric, interior mesenteric

Sympathetic fibers

- Short preganglionic fibers


- long postganglionic fibers


- ganglia tend to be located near spinal cord


(Long distance between site of ganglia to Target organ)

Parasympathetic fibers

Can activate, not turn off


- cranial and sacral regions


- long preganglionic fibers


- short postganglionic fibers


- ganglia located near or within Target organ (where jxn is located)

4 Cranial nerve- parasympathetic jxns

CN 3,7,9 interact with these ganglia


1. Ciliary ganglion: control Iris, cillary body (lense shape) = eye focus/vision manipulation


2. Ptereopalatine: lacriminal glands, nasal mucosa


3. Submandibular: oral muscosa, salivary glands


4. Otic: vasodilator = taste and salvation

Which CN targets abdominal targets?

CN 10 - heart, respiratory, intestines, trachea, etc

Sacral nerves

Lower digestive system and renal (urine production/kidney fxn)

How to divide sympathetic and parasympathetic?

Both: disynaptic


Short or long fibers?


Where ganglia are coming from?


Where jxn is located?



Doing opposite things to same structures
