divisions peripheral nervous system = ?
efferent division - to effector organs
afferent division - sensory feedback to CNS
divisions of efferent division of PNS?
autonomic system = involuntary effectors
somatic = voluntary effectors
division of autonomic system = ?
enteric
parasympathetic
sympathetic
what is a ganglia?
relay station outside of the CNS for efferent neurons of the autonomic nervous system division of the PNS
compare preganglionic fibres of the sympathetic & parasympathetic systems
symp from thoracic & lumbar spinal cord with short pregang fibres ending in ganglia parallel to spinal cord
parasymp from cranium & sacrum with long pregang fibres ending in parasymp ganglia near/on effector organs
describe enteric NS
fibres innervate GI, pancreas, gallbladder
independent of CNS but modulated by symp & parasymp NS
compare systemic discharge of sympathetic vs. parasympathetic
symp = discharges as a complete system = functional unit
parasymp = discrete fibres activated separately to affect specific organs
afferent feedback centres for integration of the ANS = ?
hypothalamus
medulla oblongata
spinal cord
eye
symp vs parasymp
symp = contract iris radial muscle --> dilation of pupil
parasymp = contract iris sphinchter muscle --> contraction of pupil
paraymp = contract ciliary muscle = lens accomodation near vision
trachea/bronchioles
symp vs parasymp
symp = dilates
parasymp = constrict & increase secretions
ureters/bladder
symp vs parasymp
symp = relax detrusor, contract trigone & sphinchter
parasymp = contract detrusor, relax trigone & sphinchter
male genitalis
symp vs. parasymp
symp = ejaculation
parasymp = erection

Point & Shoot
salivary glands
symp vs parasymp
symp = thick, viscid secretion
parasymp = watery secretion
heart
symp vs parasymp
symp = ↑ rate ↑ contractility
parasymp = ↓ rate ↓ contractility
GI
symp vs parasymp
symp = ↓ muscle motility & tone
parasymp = ↑ muscle motility & tone
organs receiving only sympathetic innervation
adrenal medulla
kidney
pilomotor muscles
sweat glands
blood vessels of skin, mucous membranes, splanchnic area
cholinergic means = ?
acetylcholine is the transmitter
what is the ganglionic transmitter in the autonomic system?
acetylcholine
where is acetylcholine the neurotransmitter?
1) ganglionic transmitter in ANS
2) neuroeffector transmitter of parasympathetic & somatic
3) adrenal medulla
adrenergic means = ?
norepinephrine or epinephrine (adrenaline) is the neurotransmitter
what is the postganglionic neurotransmitter in the sympathetic system?
norepinephrine
what is the postganglionic neurotransmitter from the adrenal medulla?
epinephrine

released into the blood
sweat glands
which NT?
cholinergic control but by sympathetic NS
adrenergic means ?
norepinephrine or epinephrine are the NTs
3 mechanisms for cellular effect from binding of NT
1) receptor coupled to ion channel
2) receptor coupled to Gs --> adenyl cyclase
3) receptor coupled to Gq --> PLC
Gs pathway
hormone or NT --> receptor
--> Gs protein --> unit break off
--> adenylyl cyclase --> prot phosphorylation
Gq pathway
hormone or NT --> receptor
--> Gq protein --> unit break off
--> PLC --> DAG & IP3
IP3 --> intracellular Ca
DAG --> prot phosphorylation
