Term
CNS
Definition
ultimate point of integration. Contains the brain and spinal cord.
Term
Autonomic Pharmacology
Definition
controls essential bodily functions without conscious input
Term
Brain
Definition
controls action of organism and responds to environment
Term
Spinal cord
Definition
path of information to and from body. Bi-directional.
Term
Hypothalamus
Definition
Integrative center for ANS functions - body temperature, water balance, metabolism, emotions, sleep, and sexual function.
Term
Brainstem
Definition
integration of basal functions necessary to sustain life. (Respiration, blood pressure, reflexes)
Term
PNS
Definition
Peripheral Nervous System - sensory and motor information
Term
Sensory info
Definition
afferent pathway; info about space, activity, temperature, and bodily functions
Term
Motor info
Definition
efferent pathway; info to respond to changes in environment and incoming afferent info.
Term
Motor systems
Definition
include somatic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and enteric/purinergic nervous system
Term
Somatic Nervous System
Definition
skeletal muscles. Deals with movement
Term
autonomic nervous system
Definition
smooth and cardiac muscle, and glands. Parasympathetic & sympathetic innveration
Term
Sympathetic
Definition
activity and metabolic activation - "fight or flight"
Term
parasympathetic
Definition
rest and metabolic storage - "rest or restore"
Term
Enteric/Purinergic
Definition
smooth muscle and glands in the GI tract
Term
Ganglia outside the CNS?
Definition
somatic - none
autonomic - paravertebral, prevertebral
Term
Pathway from spinal cord?
Definition
somatic - uninterrupted
autonomic - interrupted
Term
Fibers?
Definition
somatic - mylenated
autonomic - preganglionic = mylenated; post-ganglionic = unmylenated
Term
Plexus?
Definition
somatic - none
autonomic - fibers branch out to networks
Term
Reflex arch's?
Definition
somatic - spinal cord/brainstem
autonomic - spinal cord/brainstem
Term
Peripheral effect?
Definition
somatic - excitation
autonomic - excitation/inhibition
Term
After denervation?
Definition
somatic - paralysis
autonomic - no paralysis
Term
Control of Environment?
Definition
somatic - external
autonomic - internal
Term
Neurotransmitter?
Definition
somatic - Acetylcholine
autonomic - acetylcholine/noreponephrine
Term
Divisions of Parasympathetic Nervous System
