Autonomic Nervous System and Homeostasis

85 cards·by ilittle1
anatomy
Study this deck
works together to maintain homeostasis ( heart rate, blood pressure, digestive and urinary processes) involuntarily
Sympathetic and Para Sympathetic
sent via the brain and spinal cord in CNS
sensory signals
sent via cranial and spinal nerves leading to autonomic ganglia (PNS)
motor impulse
sends impulse to trigger motor response
Ganglia
cell body is located in CNS releasing Acetylcholine
preganglionic neuron
cell body is located in autonomic ganglion in PNS releasing Acetylcholine and norepinephrine
postganglionic neurons
preganglionic neurons are short and postganglionic are long
sympathetic nervous system
preganglionic neurons are long and postganglionic neurons are short
parasympathetic nervous system
thoracolumbar division, fight or flight, maintains homeostasis ,and causes body to respond to emotion
sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
where most postganglionic neurons are found
sympathetic chain ganglia
chain extends above thoracic spinal cord
superior cervicle ganglion
chain extends below lumbar spinal cord
inferior sacral region
forms white rami communicantes
chain ganglia
components of splanchic nerve near abdominpelvic cavity
preganglionic neurons
question
answer
binds to specific protein based receptors
neurotransmitters
used in excitatory synapses
acetylcholine
releases ACh, epinephrine, and norepinephrine
postganglionic
cholinergic
muscarinic and nicotinic
found on sweat glands
muscarinic
found in all postganglionic neuron membranes in synaptic ganglia and adrenal medullae
nicotinic
bind to epinephrine and norepinephrine
adrenergic receptors
found in smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, GI tract, kidneys, and arrector pili muscles
alpha 1 receptors
found in preganglionic sympathetic neurons of peripheral target cells
Alpha 2 receptors
causes slowing or cancelation of of action potantial
Alpha 2 block
found in cardiac muscle cells, kidney cells, and adipose
beta 1 receptors
found in smooth muscle of airways (bronchioles), urinary bladder, skeletal muscles fibers, (liver, pancreas, and salivary gland) cells
beta 2 receptors
found in smooth muscle cells of digestive tract
beta 3 receptors
noepinephrine binds to beta 1 raising heart rate and forcing contractions
effects on cardiac muscle (SNS)
norepinephrine binds to alpha 1 constricting blood vessels of digestive, urinary, and integumentary system
effects on smooth muscle
norepinephrine bonds to beta 2 increasing blood flow of skeletal and cardiac muscles
effects on smooth muscle
norepinephrine binds to beta 2 to increase air flow in lungs
effects of smooth muscle
norepinephrine binds to beta 2 and 3 making urination and bowel movement hard
contraction of urinary and digestive sphincters
norepinephrine binds to beta 2 slowing digestion
relaxation of digestive tract
norepinephrine binds to alpha 1 causing dilator papillae muscles to contract
dilation of pupils
norepinephrine binds to beta receptors on blood vessels decreasing salivary secretion
constriction of blood vessels of exocrine glands
skeletal muscles require higher amounts of ATP
effects of cellular mtabolism
triggers breakdown of lipids
beta 3 on fat cells
triggers release of glucose from glycogen
beta 2 on liver cells
triggers release of glucagon increasing blood glucose levels
beta 2 on pancreas
postganglionic releases ach on to sweat glands
effects of sweat gland secretion
increases sweat secretion
acetylcholine binds to muscarinic receptors
on top of each kidney
adrenal medullae
acetylcholine is released from preganglionic neurons and binds to ______on adrenal medulla cells
nicotinic receptors
stimulates medullary cells to release epinephrine and norepinephrine
acetylcholine
enhances mental awareness
association areas of cerebral cortex
increases blood clotting
SNS on other cells
causes goose bumps
arrector pili muscles
causes male ejaculation and female orgasm
SNS
blocks receptors preventing norepinephrine from binding
antagonist
mimics effects of norepinephrine
agonist
binds to alpha 1 receptors of smooth muscles cells in blood vessels
alpha 1 blockers
blocks norepinephrine lowering blood pressure
A1
bind to presynaptic alpha 2 receptors treating hypertension and opiate withdrawal
alpha 2 agonist
bind to beta 1 decreasing heart rate and contractions
beta 1 blockers
binds to beta 2 on bronchioles used to treat asthma
beta 2 agonist
preganglionic cell body is found in cranial nerves and sacral region (craniosacral division
PSNS
innervates the structures of head and neck
cranial nerves
innervates structures of pelvic cavity
sacral nerves
innervates thoracic and abdominal viscera, cardiac, pulmonary, and esophageal plexus
vagus nerve
synapses with ciliary ganglia
oculomotor nerve
house sensory neurons, facial nerves synapse on postganglionic parasympathetic neurons
submandibular and pterygopalatine ganglia
synapses with postganglionic parasympathetic neurons in otic ganglia
glossopharyngeal nerve
innervates large intestine, urinary bladder, reproductive organs
sacral nerves
in , membranes of all postganglionic neurons
nicotinic
in membranes of all parasympathetic targets cells , cholinergic
muscarinic
decreases heart rate and blood pressure
cardiac effects PSNS
oculomotor, ciliary ganglion and sphincter papillae muscle reducing light allowed in eye
pupil constriction
oculormotor nr=erve and contraction of ciliary muscle changing lens to rounder shape
accommodation of lens
reduces air flow through bronchioles
vagus
promotes urination and defecation causing relaxation of urinary and digestive sphincter

facial stimulation
increase production of saliva from salivary glands
facial and glossopharyngeal nerve
