Chapter 15: The Autonomic Nervous System

Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems  Autonomic  Autonomic

sensory neurons motor neurons

 Two divisions:  Sympathetic  Parasympathetic

Anatomy of Autonomic Motor Pathways  Preganglionic neuron  Postganglionic neuron  Two divisions:  Sympathetic  Parasympathetic

Cholinergic Neurons nCholinergic neurons → acetylcholine (ACh). nCholinergic neurons include3. All sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic neurons. 4. Sympathetic postganglionic neurons that innervate most sweat glands. 5. All parasympathetic postganglionic neurons.

Cholinergic Receptors Cholinergic neurons release acetylcholine.  Two

types: Nicotinic receptors Muscarinic receptors

Adrenergic Neurons and Receptors  Release

norepinephrine (noradrenalin).  Most sympathetic postganglionic neurons are adrenergic.  Two types of receptors: Alpha receptorsBeta receptors-

Cholinergic and Adrenergic Neurons in the Autonomic Nervous System

Physiology of the ANS  Autonomic

tone- a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.  Regulated by the hypothalamus.

Sympathetic Responses  Stress

↑ sympathetic system ↑ fightor-flight response.  ↑ production of ATP.  Dilation of the pupils.  ↑ heart rate and blood pressure.  Dilation of the airways.  Constriction of blood vessels that supply the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.

Sympathetic Responses continued.. ↑

blood supply to the skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle, liver and adipose tissue  ↑ glycogenolysis ↑ blood glucose.  ↑ lipolysis.

Parasympathetic Responses  Rest-and-digest response.  Conserve and restore body energy.  ↑ digestive and urinary function.  ↓ body functions that support

physical activity.

Integration and Control of Autonomic Functions  Receptor  Sensory neuron  Integrating center  Motor neuron  Effector

Integration and Control of Autonomic Functions  Direct

innervation- brain stem and spinal cord.  Hypothalamus is the major control and integration center of the ANS.  It receives input from the limbic system.
