Nervous System (cont)
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM:
SYMPATHETIC & PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEMS
Review: CNS (central nervous system)
Brain & spinal cord
Control center of the body
PNS - Peripheral Nervous System
Transmits information to/from the CNS
Afferent neurons PNS CNS (messages are affectionate for the CNS &
want to get to it)
Efferent neurons CNS PNS (message want to get away from the CNS)

Regulates movement & internal environments


Consists of
Cranial nerves
Spinal nerves
Ganglia
Review Cranial Nerves

Mnemonic:
Oh once one
takes the
anatomy final,
very good
vacations are
heavenly!

2 Divisions
Sensory (afferent)
Motor (efferent)
PNS Sensory (afferent) Division
Somatic Sensory
Touch, pain, pressure, vibration, temperature,
proprioception (skin, body wall, limbs)
Hearing, equilibrium, vision

Visceral Sensory
Stretch, pain, temperature, chemical changes,
visceral irritation, nausea, hunger
Taste, smell
PNS Motor (efferent) Division
Somatic Nervous System
Voluntary systems (majority) - Skeletal
muscle
Direct system: Single neuron from
spinal cord to skeletal muscle

Autonomic Nervous System


Involuntary Systems (majority)
Smooth muscle & cardiac muscle, and
glands
Relay system 2 neurons go from the
spinal cord to target tissue
PNS Autonomic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System
Involuntary Systems (majority) Smooth muscle & cardiac muscle, and glands
Relay system 2 neurons go from the spinal cord to target tissue
Preganglionic neuron
Postganglionic neuron
Controls digestion, cardiovascular, excretory, and endocrine systems
3 Divisions
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Enteric (GI tract, pancreas, gallbladder)
ANS: Sympathetic v. Parasympathetic NS
ANS Sympathetic Division
Stress: Fight or Flight
Thoracolumbar (T1-L2)
Arousal & energy generation
Emergency Situations
Mass activation effect

Nerves exit CNS midway along spinal cord


Synapse in ganglia just outside the spinal cord
ANS Parasympathetic Division
Peace: Rest & Digest
Craniosacral
CN III (oculomotor) Ex. Constrict pupil
CN VII (facial) Ex. Stimulate salivary & lacrimal glands
CN IX (glossopharyngeal) Ex. Stimulate parotid gland
CNX (vaugs) Ex. Thorax & abdominal organs (decrease heart rate, etc.)
S2-S4 Pelvic splanchnic nerves
Calming & return to self-maintenance functions
Maintains Homeostasis
Usually discrete & localized activity
Nerves exit CNS at the brain base, or spinal cord
Synapse in ganglia near/within an internal organ
Control Center

Watch the video linked above (~8 minutes) and respond to the prompt below

Write a reflective response about an experience you have had similar to Johns where your
sympathetic nervous system was kicked into over-drive. Include how your parasympathetic and
sympathetic nervous systems functioned and played a role in the event before, during, and after it.
Be thorough and show me how you understand the material covered in class.

Requirements
Typed: 1-2 pages, double spaced, 12 pt. font, 1 margins, Times News Roman Font
