Autonomic Vs. Somatic Nervous System

Objectives z Know ANS divisionsand organization z Functional units z Principal neurotransmitters z Receptor types z Identify sensory input to ANS z Explain how it integrates function (BP) z List main physiological responses under ANS control z Distinguish SNS from PSNS mediatedresponses z Understand the consequences of ANS dysregulation Autonomic vs. Somatic Nervous System • AUTONOMIC Effectors: cardiac & smooth muscle, viscera & glands Efferent: 2‐neuron chain Neurotransmitter (NT) effects Stimulatory or inhibitory dependent on NT & receptor type SOMATIC Effectors: skeletal muscles Efferent: Heavily myelinated axons from CNS to muscle Neurotransmitter Effects: Acetylcholine excitatory effect in nicotinic (N1) receptors 1 z Autonomic Nervous System z Efferent motor neurons: innervate viscera & involuntary muscle z Afferent sensory neurons respond to: z Stretch (heart, arteries) z Glucose, PCO2, PO2 (blood) z Osmolarity & pH (blood & intestinal content) z Temperature (skin & internal organs) SNS & PSNS Functional unit 2 neuron pathway 2 Sympathetic z Preganglionic: z Preganglionic Cholinergic neuron;
