    Study Notes

    Parasympathetic Nervous System Functions

    • The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system, responsible for regulating bodily functions that conserve energy and promote digestion.
    • It is composed of nerves originating from the brain stem and the sacral region of the spinal cord.
    • These nerves travel to various organs and tissues throughout the body, influencing several key functions.

    Parasympathetic Nerve Pathways

    • Oculomotor nerve (III):

      • Edinger-Westphal nucleus in the midbrain.
      • Relays to the ciliary ganglion.
      • Controls pupillary constriction (miosis) via the constrictor pupillae muscle and accommodation to near vision by controlling the ciliary muscle.

    • Facial nerve (VII):

      • Greater superficial petrosal nerve:
        • Originates from the superior salivary nucleus in the pons.
        • Relays to the sphenopalatine ganglion.
        • Responsible for lacrimal gland (tear) secretion and mucous membrane secretion in the nose, pharynx, and soft palate.
      • Chorda tympani nerve:
        • Originates from the superior salivary nucleus in the pons.
        • Relays to the submandibular ganglion.
        • Involved in true salivary secretion (large, watery saliva rich in electrolytes) from the sublingual and submandibular glands and mucous membrane secretion in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue.

    • Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX):

      • Originates from the inferior salivary nucleus in the medulla.
      • Relays to the otic ganglion.
      • Controls true salivary secretion from the parotid gland and mucous membrane secretion in the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.

    • Vagus nerve (X):

      • Originates from the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in the medulla.
      • Relays to terminal ganglia.
      • Controls various functions in the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal system, and other visceral organs.

    • Pelvic nerve:

      • Originates from the sacral spinal segments 2, 3, and 4.
      • Relays to terminal ganglia.
      • Controls functions related to urination, defecation, and sexual arousal.

    Parasympathetic Effects on Specific Organs

    • Eye:

      • Pupillary constriction (miosis) to reduce light entering the eye, essential for near vision.
      • Accommodation to near vision by increasing the lens power to focus on nearby objects.

    • Heart:

      • Decreases heart rate and contractility, reducing the effectiveness of the heart as a pump.
      • Causes vasodilation of coronary vessels directly, but indirectly promotes vasoconstriction due to reduced cardiac workload and metabolite accumulation.

    • Lungs:

      • Bronchoconstriction by stimulating bronchial muscles.
      • Increase mucous secretion by stimulating bronchial glands.

    • Gastrointestinal System:

      • Increases bile flow and relaxes the sphincter of Oddi, facilitating bile release into the duodenum.
      • Stimulates secretion from the pancreas, gastric glands, and Brunner's glands in the duodenum.
      • Increases contraction of gastrointestinal walls and relaxes sphincters, promoting digestion and movement of food through the gut.
      • Causes vasodilation of gastrointestinal blood vessels.

    • Urinary System:

      • Increases contraction of the bladder wall and relaxes the internal urethral sphincter, promoting urination.

    • Reproductive System:

      • Causes vasodilation leading to erection of the penis and clitoris.
      • Stimulates glandular secretions.

    Other Important Points:

    • The parasympathetic nervous system generally promotes energy conservation, digestion, and rest.
    • The external anal and urethral sphincters are controlled by somatic spinal pudendal nerves, allowing voluntary control of urination and defecation.
    • The majority of organs receive dual innervation from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, allowing fine-tuned control of organ function.
    • Certain organs are exclusively innervated by either the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system.
    • The relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is often antagonistic, with one system counteracting the effects of the other.

    Examples of Antagonistic Effects:

    • Sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, while the parasympathetic nervous system decreases it.
    • Sympathetic nervous system promotes pupillary dilation, while the parasympathetic nervous system promotes constriction.

    Parasympathetic Nervous System Functions

    • The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for "rest and digest" functions.
    • It helps relax the body and conserve energy.
    • It acts primarily through the vagus nerve and pelvic nerves.
    • It helps control pupillary constriction (miosis) and accommodation to near vision.
    • Oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve 3): controls constrictor pupillae muscle and ciliary muscle for near vision.
      • It originates from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in the midbrain.
    • Facial nerve (cranial nerve 7): stimulates lacrimal glands, mucous membranes of the nose, pharynx, and anterior 1/3 of tongue, and salivary glands (sublingual and submandibular).
      • Greater superficial petrosal nerve: responsible for lacrimal and mucous glands.
      • Chorda tympani: stimulates sublingual and submandibular salivary glands.
    • Glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve 9): stimulates parotid salivary gland.
      • Originates from the inferior salivary nucleus in the medulla.
    • Vagus nerve (cranial nerve 10): controls heart, lungs, digestive system, and some glands.
      • Originates from the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus in the medulla.
    • Pelvic nerves (S2-S4): control lower digestive system, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.

    Cardiac function

    • Decreases heart rate, rhythmicity, excitability, conductivity, and contractility.
    • Vagus nerve only supplies the atria (not ventricles).
    • Coronary vasodilatation via direct effect.
    • Indirect vasoconstriction due to inhibition of cardiac work and less metabolites accumulation.

    Respiratory function

    • Bronchoconstriction by stimulating bronchial muscles.
    • Increases mucus secretion by stimulating bronchial glands.

    Digestive function

    • Increases bile flow and relaxes sphincter of Oddi for bile emptying.
    • Stimulates pancreatic secretion.
    • Stimulates gastric glands and Brunner's glands in the duodenum.
    • Contraction of digestive tract walls and relaxation of sphincters.
    • Vasodilatation and stimulation of emptying of the digestive tract.

    Urinary/Reproductive function

    • Contraction of bladder walls and relaxation of internal urethral sphincter facilitating micturition.
    • Contraction of rectal walls and relaxation of internal anal sphincter for defecation.
    • Vasodilatation and stimulation of glands leading to erection of the penis and clitoris.

    Other functions

    • External anal and urethral sphincters are voluntary muscles controlled by the somatic spinal pudendal nerve.
    • Most organs are dual innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
    • Some organs are only innervated by one division of the autonomic nervous system:
      • Sympathetic only: dilator pupillae muscle, Muller's muscle, upper esophagus, cutaneous effectors, ventricles of the heart, spleen, adrenal medulla.
      • Parasympathetic only: constrictor pupillae muscle, glands of the stomach.
    • Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems act antagonistically in many cases:
      • For example, heart rate increased by sympathetic NS, decreased by parasympathetic NS.

    Pelvic nerve

    • Also known as the nervus erigenus.
