the ANS is also called the _____ general visceral motor system
the somatic & autonomic nervous system differs in: their effectors, efferent pathways & ganglia, & target organ response to neurontransmitters
somatic nervous system stimulates: skeletal muscle
the somatic system is a ___ motor neuron chain that forms pathways from CNS to its effector single
the peripheal is broken up into 2 divisions. what are they? sensory & motor
what are the 2 motor divisions? somatic & autonomic
what are the 2 divisions of the autonomic system? sympathetic & parasympathetic
ANS has dual innervation, which means:
is somatic voluntary or involuntary? voluntary

what is the autonomic system neurotransmitter? ACh or norepinephrine
the type of effect depends on the: neurotransmitter
sympathetic system is known as the: fight or flight system
all preganglionic fibers release: ACh
how many neuron chains does the autonomic system have? 2
this autonomic system mobilizes body during activity sympathetic
exercise, excitement, emergency or embarrassment are apart of which system? sympathetic
___ and ___ stimulates the somatic nervous system norepinephrine & epinephrine
which system has short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers? sympathetic

nicotinic is ___
muscarinic is
with nicotinic , blood pressure ___ rises
the parasympathetic & sympathetic system differs in: sites of origin & length of fibers
parasympathetic originates in the __ and ___, making it ___ brain & spinal cord - craniosacral
sympathetic originates in the ___ and ___ region, making it ___ thoracic & lumbar - thoracolumbnar
neurotransmitters are what: neurons use to communicate with its effector organs
receptors receive: neurotransmitters
fibers are: axons that release neurotransmitters
what is a synapse? a space btw 2 nerves
preganglionic before the ganglion
postganglionic after ganglionic
preganglionic fibers release: ACh
postganglionic fibers release: NE
