Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
- The ANS is responsible for controlling involuntary functions of the body, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiration.
- The ANS has two divisions: sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Sympathetic Nervous System
- Responsible for the 'fight or flight' response, preparing the body for emergency situations.
- Innervates the adrenal medulla, which releases the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
- Preganglionic neurons are located in the intermediolateral columns of the spinal cord.
- Postganglionic neurons are short, and ganglia are mainly found in the paravertebral region.
Parasympathetic Nervous System
- Responsible for the 'rest and digest' response, promoting relaxation and reducing energy expenditure.
- Innervates various organs, including the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
- Preganglionic neurons are located in the craniosacral region of the spinal cord.
- Postganglionic neurons are long, and ganglia are located near the target organs.
Autonomic Ganglia
- Sympathetic ganglia are mainly found in the paravertebral region.
- Parasympathetic ganglia are located near the target organs.
Receptors
- Muscarinic receptors are interacted with by neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Adrenergic receptors are interacted with by neurons of the sympathetic nervous system.
- Nicotinic receptors are found in the autonomic ganglia of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Enteric Nervous System
- Part of the autonomic nervous system, regulating the gastrointestinal tract.
- Includes the myenteric plexus and the submucosal plexus.
Regulation of Functions
- The ANS is responsible for regulating various involuntary functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiration.
- The ANS is more important in emergency situations that cause stress and require a 'fight or flight' response.
Central Nervous System (CNS)
- Receives sensory information from the environment and internal organs.
- Integrates and processes information, controlling voluntary functions of the body.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
- Divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
- The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle contractions.
- The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands, and adipose tissue.
