Term
Interoceptor
Definition
sensory receptors in the Autonomic nervous system located in the blood vessels, visceral organs, muscles, and nervous system
Term
How many Neurons in a typical autonomic pathway?
Definition
two.
Term
Describe the location of the first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway
Definition
The body is located in the CNS. Its myelinated axon extends to the Autonomic Ganglion.
Term
Describe the location of the second motor neuron in an autonomic pathway
Definition
its body is found in the autonomic ganglion and its unmyelinated axon extends directly to the effector.
Term
where are the effectors in the ANS?
Definition
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, or a gland
Term
The ANS has one pathway that consists of only one motor neuron. What is its effector?
Definition
Adrenal Medullae
Term
Autonomic Neurons release what neurotransmitters?
Definition
Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine
Term
Sympathetic activities result in what?
Definition
Increased awareness and metabolic activities for emergency situations
Term
Parasympathetic activities result in what?
Definition
conservation and restoration of energy and nutrient stores
Term
where are the cell bodies of preganglionic neurons found in the sympathetic division of the ANS?
Definition
the lateral horns of the gray matter in the 12 thoracis and first 2-3 lumbar segments of the spinal cord

THORACOLUMBAR DIVISION
Term
where are the cell bodies of preganglionic neurons found in the parasympathetic division of the ANS?
Definition
The nuclei of 4 cranial nerves in the brainstem and in the lateral grey matter of the second through 4th sacral segments of the spinal cord

CRANIO-SACRAL DIVISION
Term
where are the sympathetic trunk ganglia located
Definition
in vertical rows on either side of the vertebral collumn
Term
the sympathetic ganglia consist of what two groups?
Definition
the sympathetic trunk ganglia and the prevertebral ganglia
Term
what is the general name for ganglia in the Parasympathetic system?
Definition
Terminal Ganglia
Term
Name the ganglia of the parasympathetic system that are located in the head.
Definition
ciliary ganglion, pterogopalatine ganglion, submandibular ganglion, and Otic gangion.
Term
