Autonomic Nervous system (3) parts
Sympathetic division-fight or flight
Parasympathetic division-rest and digest
Enteric divison of the ans-reflexive activity of the gastrointeestinal system
Neurotransmitters of ANS
Acetylcholine, Norepinephrine, Epinephrine
Cholinergic receptors
Adrenergic receptors
Nerves exit the cns as
System is reserved for
Higher synapse for this system
What kind of awareness
spinal and cranial nerves
involuntary control of body structures including smooth/cardic muscle and glands
end in the hypothalamus
Unconscious-unless the stimulant is strong enough to elicit pain
Automatic motor division of the pns, motor neurons of the ANS
Regulates
synapse with ganglia and ultimately effector tissue
activities of cardic/smooth muscle and glands
Sensory neurons fo the ANS division are
autonomic and monitor viscera environment (yoga, biofeedback therapy)
Sympathetic "fight or flight"
response to unusual stimulus
takes over the body systems to increase activities
E division, exerciese, excitement, emergency and embarrassment
Parasympathetic rest or digest
conserves energy
maintains daily body functions
sludd-saliviation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defectaton
autonomic tone
describes how both systems balance each other out. as sympathetics turned up parasympatheices are turned down.
Autonomic nervous system (3)
multipolar-found in the periphery and has many dendrites and only one other process
bipolar-utilzed for special senses
unipolar-sensory nerves which input information to the cns
where are the cell bodies of the ans motor neuron found
lateral horn of spinal cord
Where do the neurons synapes in peripheral ganglia
with other neurons or withing the effector organs
Postganglionic neurons
will extend beyond the ganglion or effector tissue
How do sensory neurons travel
ans travel with sensory neurons of the sns withing the pns going to the cns
Interoceptors (2)
Chemoreceptors-measure co2 blood levels inthe great vessles
Mechanoreceptors-measure stretch of arteries determining blood pressure. (amount of water in blood)
How is information sent to the hypothalamus
using internerurons responses are sent out using interneurons
What is another name for the sypathetic nervous system
Thoracolumbar division-nerves exit spinal cord from the named regions
Paravertebral ganglia
head causing dryness of the glands and dilation of the pupils
above diaphragm
prevertebral ganglia
splanchnic nerves
below diaphragm
Adrenal Medulla
inside adrenal gland
synapse here stimulates cells fo the adrenal glands
relases norepinephrine and epinephrine when stimulated
parasympathetic nervous system
rest and digest
conserves energy
for rebuilding of tissues
nerves exit scaral spinal cord and brainstem
Parasympathetic nerves are also called
crainalsacral division
Parasympathetic
constrict eye
secrete saliva
constrict bronchioles
slow down heart beat
increase secretion in stomach
increase motility
empty colon
empty bladder
sympathetic
dilate eyes
stop secretion
dialtate bronchioloes
speed up heartbeat
secrete adrenlinyne
delaying emptying
retain colon contents
Guts brain called
located
enteric
located in sheaths of tissue lining esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon
Cholinergic neurons release
Adrenergic neurons release
ACH
norepinephrine and epinephrine
Neurotansmitters: what releases Ach
all preganlionic sympathetic and parasympathetics neurons release (extitatory response)
Sympathetic postganglionic neurons will release ach to
sweat glands to muscarinic receptors
Somatic vs autonomic
How many nerves
Somatic-one neuron, originates in cns, axons extend to skeletal muscles
Autonomic-two neurons, preganglionic and postganglionic neurons.
Somatic vs autonomic
effector organ
somatic-skeletal
autonomic-smooth, cardiac and glands
Somatic vs autonomic
subdivisons
somatic-none
parasomatic-parasympathetic and sympathetic
Somatic vs autonomic
neurotransmitter
somatic-ach
parasomatic-ach, epinephrine, norepinephrine
Sensation
use of receptors to detect conscious or subconscious awareness of changes in the external or internal environment
Perception
conscious awareness and interpretation of sensation
sensory modalities will generally fall into two categories
general sensation: somatic viscera
special sensation: sight, hearing, balance, smell, taste
specialized cells found all over the body 5 steps
1) be stimulated
2) graded is formed
3) graded potential increases in strenght and reached threshold
4) impluse is created
5) info is propagated along the sensory neuron and intergataed cns
types of receptors
free nerve endings-stimulated by pain
encapsulated nerve endings-stimulated by touch, pressure
separate cells-stimulated by external environment, found in special senses
Free nerve endings-
encapsulated nerve endings
separate cells
dendrites are exposed
dendrites are encapsulated by connective tissue
cells other that the bipolar neuron is stimulated ex. hair, photoreceptors
Classification of receptors by location
exteroreceptros (external surface)
interoceptors (receptors of the ans)
proprioceptors (joint or areas of boyd that detect body positon)
types of receptors by stimulus
mechanoreceptors-pressure, touch, motion, sound, vibration
Thermoreceptors-temperature, hot cold sensory
Nocioceptors-pain, touch reptors, dendrites not covered
photoreceptors-vision, found in eyes
proprioceptors-joints position where is it
chemoreceptors-chemical in coraid arteries job to stimulate neurons wall of artery decrease o2 increase co2
osmoreceptors-thirst,
muscle spindle
cells surrounding deep specialized muscle fibers
used to detect excessive stretch of muscles motor responds by causing contraciton of the ipsilateral muscle
Golgi tendon organ
special cells connected to tendons
used to detect increase tendon/muscle tension
muscle relations results
Sensory neurons pathways
(3) orders
1) neurons entering the posterior spinal cord
2) synapse in the posterior horn and crosses to other side of the spinal cord
3) synapes in the relay sation thalamus, continues onward to cerebral cortex
Motor neurons
Lower-neurons exciting the anterior spinal cord and supplying the skeletal muscles
Upper
synapse in the anterior horn of the spinal cord extending from the cerebral cortex
Flacid
severed or damaged lower motor neurons
skeletal muscles are unable to contract and are faccid
spastic
severed or damaged upper motor neurons
skeletal muscles are continoulsly stimulated by motor neurons causing uncontrolled rapid movements
Sensory
Posterior columns
contains tract that are stimulated by 2pt touch discrimiation, joint position, vibration
Sensory
Spinothalamic
contains tracts that are stimulated by pain, temperatture, and touch
Motor
