parasympathetic nervous system
rest and digest
status quo
sympathetic nervous system
fight or flight
blood glucose levels
blood flow
both working together to maintain homeostasis
there are things only one can do
sweat glands - sympathetic only
vasoconstriction/vasodialation -sympathetic only
dynamic equilibrium of parasympathetic and sympathetic systems
hypothalamus
osmoreceptors, thermoreceptors, responses to hunger
medulla & phone
heart rate center, breathing center, blood pressure
limbic system & cerebral cortex
behavior responses
(endocrine responses, behavioral responses, some motor responses)
no brain integration. just spinal cord
spinal reflex integration
preganglionic - autonomic ganglion - postganglionic - target
efferent pathway
Vagus Nerve (x)
Which cranial nerve provides 75% of all parasympathetic outflow?
craniosacral
rest and digest
long PREgang & short POSTgang
PREgang: ACh
POSTgang: ACh
Parasympathetic Characteristics
thoracolumbar
fight or flight
short PREgang & long POSTgang
PREgang: ACh
POSTgang: NE and E
Sympathetic Characterists
epinephrine
What NT does the Adrenal Sympathetic Pathyway release?
Pre-post synapse:
nicotinic cholinergic receptors
Neuroeffector junction: muscarinic cholinergic
What is the receptor at the Pre-Post synapse for the parasympathetic/craniosacral divison?
At the neuroeffector junction?
Pre-post synapse:
nicotinic cholinergic receptor
Neuroeffector junction:
alpha or beta adrenergic receptor
What is the receptor at the Pre-Post synapse for the sympathetic/thoracolumbar division?
At the neuroeffector junction?
varicosities
a type of neuroeffector junctions
swellings along axons
there are multiple along the axon
produce NT
action can be modulated
B1 receptor
equal response to NE and E
-- effector cells innervated by sympathetic system
B2 receptor
stronger response to E (usually hormone)
--- effector cells not innervated by symp. system
--- responds to E from adrenal medulla (neurosecretory tissue - neurohormone)
B3 receptor
stronger response to NE
--- effector cells: adipose tissue
--- innervated by symp. system
