General properties and pathways Divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System Autonomic and Somatic Pathway Control Neurotransmitters and their Receptors
100
What is the visceral motor system?
another name for the autonomic nervous system
100
What is the sympathetic nervous system?
"fight or flight"
100
What is the somatic pathway?
the pathway where a motor neuron in the brainstem or spinal cord issues myelinated axon that reaches to a skeletal muscle
100
What is the cerebral cortex
the part of the nervous system that provides a pathway that connects sensory and mental experiences to the ANS
100
What is a beta receptor?
type of adrenergic receptors that cause inhibitory effects
200
What is the sympathetic nerve route?
the nerve route in which postganglionic fibers exit through sympathetic nerves that extend to the heart, lungs esophagus, and thoracic blood vessels
200
What is autonomic tone?
the balance between sympathetic tone and parasympathetic tone
200
What is preganlionic and postganglionic
The two types of neurons associated with the autonomic pathway
200
What is dual innervation
when an the innervation or viscera receives fibers from bother the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
200
What is norepinephrine?
an stimulate the heart cells(stimulate), but relax the smooth muscles of the respiratory tube to allow more air to pass through (inhibit)
300
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
the division of the autonomic nervous system that deals with defecation
300
What is the sympathetic nervous system
Has ganglions closer to the CNS
300
What is the oculomotor nerve
The cranial nerve that narrows the pupil and focuses the lense
300
What is vasoconstriction
response to a higher rate of sympathetic nerve firing
300
What is cholinergic?
a receptor that binds ACh
400
What is the splanchnic nerve route
the nerve route in which fibers in spinal nerves T5 to T12 pass through the sympathetic ganglia without synapsing as splanchnic nerves --> collateral ganglia --> preganglionic fibers synapse with postglanglionic fibers
400
What are the lateral horns of the spinal cord (T1-L2)
The origin of presynaptic neurons
400
What is the autonomic pathway?
The pathway that uses norepinephrine
400
What is cooperative effects
when two divisions act on different effectors to produce unified overall effect
400
What is nicotinic?
the cholinergic receptor that has is a ligand gated receptor
500
What is the biofeedback technique?
the technique that trains people to control hypertension, stress, and migraines headaches
500
What is the parasympathetic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system that utilizes ligand gated channel receptors
500
What is the ganglion?
The location that the autonomic pathway synapses
500
What is vasomotor tone?
state of partial constriction
500
What is andrenergic?
adrenalina and norepinephrine binding site (receptor)
