Cards

Term
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Definition
Innervates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands

What type of adjustments are made by the ANS

routing adjustments in physiological systems

 

regulates visceral (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, excretory)

Term
What are some of the differences in somatic motor sytems comparied to autonomic motor systems
Definition

Somatic

 

1) one motor neuron extends from the CNS to skeletal muscle

 

2) Axons are well myelinated, conduct impulses rapidly

Autonomic

 

1) chain of two motor neurons

     a) Preganglionic neurons
