1
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Type of Effector (Target )

Somatic motor nervous system-muscle, skeleton

Automatic nervous system- smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands

2
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Type of control

Somatic motor nervous system- voluntary

Automatic nervous system-involuntary

3
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Region of brain that controls

Somatic motor nervous system-primary motor cortex

Autonomic nervous system-hypothalamus

4
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Neural pathway, how many neurons from spinal cord/brain stem to effector

Somatic motor nervous system system-one

Autonomic nervous system-two

5
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Neurotransmitters used

Somatic motor nervous-acetylcholine

Autonomic nervous system-nor epinephrine

6
New cards

Somatic motor nervous system VS Automatic nervous system Action on effectors stimulator inhibitory both

Somatic motor nervous system-stimulator

Autonomic nervous system-both

7
New cards

What is the difference between adrenergic and cholinergic neurons?

Cholinergic-released acetylcholine part of the parasympathetic

Adrenergic-release nor epinephrine part of the sympathetic nervous system

8
New cards

Sympathetic and parasympathetic-general function

Sympathetic -fight/flight

Parasympathetic -rest/digest

9
New cards

Parasympathetic versus sympathetic-location of exit from brain or spinal cord

Sympathetic-spinal cord

Parasympathetic-brain and spinal cord

10
New cards

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic-location of ganglia

Sympathetic-outside the CNS

Parasympathetic-in/close to target

11
New cards

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic length of preganglionic and postganglionic neurons

Sympathetic-preganglionic are short postganglionic are long

Parasympathetic-preganglionic are long postganglionic are short

12
New cards

Sympathetic versus Paris, sympathetic types of neurons

Sympathetic-cholinergic and adrenergic

Parasympathetic-cholinergic

13
New cards

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic, neurotransmitters released by preganglionic neuron

Both acetylcholine

14
New cards

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic neurotransmitters release by most postganglionic neurons

Sympathetic-nor epinephrine

Parasympathetic-ACH

15
New cards

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic types of receptors on effector

Sympathetic-Alpha, B1, B2

Parasympathetic-muscarinic

16
New cards

What is the effect of parasympathetic innovation on the genitals?

Female, sexual arousal

Male, erection

17
New cards

How is nitric oxide involved in the parasympathetic innovation on the genitals?

Nitric oxide is the primary neurotransmitter for sexual arousal

18
New cards

What is the effect of sympathetic innovation on the genitals?

Female, contractions, male, ejaculation

19
New cards

How alpha and beta blockers affect autonomic targets and what conditions they may treat

Alpha and beta blockers act that has antagonist which bind to receptors prevent preventing adrenaline from activating them, they reduce HR and lower BP

20
New cards

Explain, dual innervation

Duel innovation is when sympathetic and parasympathetic both innervate same targets with opposite responses

21
New cards

Do all autonomic targets have dual innovation if not, give an example of an autonomic target that doesn’t have dual innovation

Not all autonomic targets have dual innovation like, sweat glands only have sympathetic control

22
New cards

What neurotransmitter and receptor type are found in the synapse between the preganglionic and postganglionic neuron

ACH and nicotinic
