medulla oblongata

cardiac and respiratory

basal ganglia

doesn’t protect the brain

z-disc

structure at end of the sarcomere

sympathetic chain ganglia

sympathetic postganglionic neurons can be found in the:

Pons function

Relays sensory information from the cerebellum to the cerebrum

Medulla oblongata

Brainstem region that controls cardiac and respiratory centers

Chemoreceptors

Respond when chemicals bind to them

Merkel discs

Detect steady pressure and texture

Gustatory cortex

Brain region that processes taste

Somatic sensory pathway

Receptor → Sensory neuron → Spinal cord → Thalamus → Sensory cortex

Motor pathway

Motor cortex → Upper motor neuron → Lower motor neuron → Skeletal muscle

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Specialized structure in muscle fibers that stores calcium

Adrenergic receptors

Rely on G-protein-coupled receptor pathways

Antagonistic

When the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the ANS have opposing effects
