Front 1

What 3 regions does the autonomic system regulate?

Back 1

cardiac muscle (heart), smooth muscle, and glands

Front 2

These are organs that are contained within the body cavities

Back 2

Visceral Organs

Front 3

What are the 2 major categories of motor neurons?

Back 3

Somatic and Autonomic

Front 4

A neuron of the PNS that conducts impulses away from the CNS are known as what?

Back 4

Motor or efferent neurons

Front 5

What type of motor neurons innervate voluntary effectors such as the cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands?

Back 5

Autonomic

Front 6

Autonomic motor control involves two neurons in the efferent pathway. Name the 2 neurons

Back 6

Preganglionic and Postganglionic

Front 7

This autonomic neuron that is in the efferent pathway has an axon that extends from the autonomic ganglion to an effector organ where it synapses with its target tissue.(effector)

Back 7

Postganglionic

Front 8

The ANS is divided into what 2 main divisions?

Back 8

Parasympathetic and sympathetic

Front 9

This is a collection of cell bodies outside of the CNS

Back 9

Ganglion

Front 11

The ____ division of the ANS prepares the body for the "fight or flight" response or intense physical activity.

Back 11

Sympathetic

Front 12

Effects of the sympathetic division directly ____(opposes or doesnt oppose) the effects of the parasympathetic division.

Back 12

Opposes

Front 13

Visceral organs respond differently to sympathetic and parasympathetic activity because the two divisions utilize different what?

Back 13

Neurotransmitters

Front 14

Increased heart rate, increased blood glucose, greater blood flow to skeletal muscles,dilation of bronchioles,decreased digestive activity are all examples of what happens in what type of response?

Back 14

Fight or Flight response

Front 15

This part of the brain contains many control centers, such as the control the cardiovascular, pulmonary, urinary, reproductive, and digestive systems

Back 15

Medulla Oblongata

Front 16

This part of the brain regulates the medulla oblongata

Back 16

Hypothalamus

Front 17

Name the 3 primary characteristics of the hypothalamus

Back 17

regulates the medulla oblongata, contains the control centers for body temp, hunger and thirst, regulates the pituitary gland

Front 18

This is responsible for the basic emotional drives (hunger, fear, anger, and SEX)

Back 18

Limbic System

Front 19

Many people with hypertension were once treated with a beta blocker known as ______.

Back 19

Proponolol

Front 20

The muscarinic affects of acetocholine are specifically inhibited by the drug _____ which is most often used to dilate pupils during muscle eye examinations.

Back 20

Atropine

Front 21

_____ ______ is a serious condition producing rapid elevations in blood pressure that can lead to stroke

Back 21

Autonomic Dysreflexia

Front 22

In _____ techniques, data obtained from devices that detect and amplify changes in blood pressure and heart rate are "fed back" to patients in the form of light signals to audible tones.

Back 22

Biofeedback
