Question
Answer
Autonomic Nervous System   motor system. Controls cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands. 2 Neuron chain.  
🗑
Where are the centers for the ANS?   In PNS and CNS. Hypothalamus, brainstem, spinal cord  
🗑
Somatic motor   skeletal muscle. 1 neuron(motor). Thick heavily myelinated  
🗑
Visceral motor   ANS - glands, smooth, and cardiac muscle. 2 Neuron chain. Pre and post ganglionic. Thin and unmyelinated.  
🗑
2 Divisions of ANS and differences   Sympathetic and parasympathetic. Differ in location of pre+post neuron, neurotransmitter, effect  
🗑
Sympathetic ... where is the pre neuron   T1-L2 = thoracolumbar  
🗑
Sympathetic... where is the post neuron   sympathetic chain or prevertebral ganglia(in front of aorta)  
🗑
Splanchnic nerve   postganglionic neuron of sympathetic synapases with another post ganglionic  
🗑
sympathetic preganglionic neurotransmitter   acetylcholine  
🗑
sympathetic postganlionic neurotransmitter   norepinephrine  
🗑
Sympathetic general effect   flight or fight  
🗑
Adrenal Medulla   on top of kidneys. secretes epinephrine/norepinephrine. Cells derived from post-gang neurons  
🗑
parasympathetic 1st neuron   "craniosacral" - originates along here. Nuclei of cranial nerves 3(eye), 7(lacrimal), 9(salivary), 10(heart/stomach/lungs, Sacral (2,3,4)  
🗑
parasympathetic post ganglionic   on or near the target organ  
🗑
neurotransmitter of parasympathetic   acetylcholine  
🗑
general effect of parasympathetic   rest and digest  
🗑
heart rate up   sympathetic  
🗑
herat rate down   parasympathetic  
🗑
smooth muscles of bronchioles dialate   sympathetic  
🗑
smooth muscles of bronchioles constrict   parasympathetic  
🗑
urinary bladder relax to fill   sympathetic  
🗑
urinary bladder expel   parasympathetic  
🗑
digestive tract increase movement   parasympathetic  
🗑
digestive tract decrease movement (reduce peristalsis)   sympathetic  
🗑
sweat glands stimulate   sympathetic  
🗑
arrector pili muscles create goosebumps   sympathetic  
🗑
eye dialates (contract muscles of iris)   sympathetic  
🗑
pupil constricts (muscles of iris relax)   parasympathetic  
🗑
vascoconstriction   making blood more available for heart and skeletal muscle - associated with sympathetic  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
