    Study Notes

    Peripheral Nervous System

    • The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is outside the brain and spinal cord
    • It carries impulses from sensory nerves to the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to motor nerves
    • The PNS can be divided into two parts: the sensory division and the motor division
    • The sensory division transmits impulses from sensory organs (e.g., ears, eyes, nose) to the CNS
    • The motor division transmits impulses from the CNS to muscles or glands (effectors)

    Somatic Nervous System

    • Includes all nerves that control muscles which are under conscious control
    • Regulates activities involving sensory receptors, muscles and glands
    • Examples of activities include moving fingers, wiggling toes, and activities involving the salivary and gastric glands.

    Autonomic Nervous System

    • Consists of motor neurons that control internal organs
    • Regulates involuntary activities of the body.
    • The autonomic nervous system is subdivided further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

    Sympathetic Nervous System

    • Dilates pupils
    • Inhibits salivation
    • Relaxes bronchi
    • Accelerates heartbeat
    • Inhibits digestive activity
    • Stimulates glucose released by liver
    • Relaxes bladder

    Parasympathetic Nervous System

    • Contracts pupils
    • Stimulates salivation
    • Contracts bronchi
    • Slows heartbeat
    • Stimulates digestive activity
    • Stimulates gallbladder

    Figure 3.30 - The Autonomic Nervous System

    • Shows a diagram of the autonomic nervous system.
