Study Notes

Autonomic Nervous System

  • Parasympathetic nerves leave the CNS from cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X, and sacral nerves S2-S4.
  • Sympathetic nerves leave the CNS from thoracic nerves T1-L2.

Enteric Nervous System

  • The enteric nervous system is often referred to as the "little brain" of the gastrointestinal system.
  • It is responsible for controlling the function of the gastrointestinal system, including the movement of food, secretion of digestive enzymes, and blood flow.

Ganglia in the Autonomic Nervous System

  • A ganglion is a cluster of nerve cells outside the CNS that acts as a relay station for nerve impulses.
  • In the autonomic nervous system, ganglia receive and process information from the CNS and transmit it to effector organs, such as the heart, blood vessels, and glands.
