The automatic nervous system is the part of our body that takes care of functions we don’t deal with directly, such as breathing, the beating of the heart and the digestion of food. What do you know about this extremely crucial system, find out in this quiz on Chapter 12 Autonomic Nervous System.
Pyramidal tracts
Sympathetic nervous system
Cranialsacral outflow
Rapid heart rate, palpitations, sweating
Adrenergic
Norepinephrine
Fight or flight
Feed and breed
Adrenaline
Epinphrine
Acetylcholine
Norepinephrine
Vagal discharge
Parasympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
Limbic system
Skeletal muscle
Visceral smooth muscle
Glands
Cardiac muscle
Fight or flight
Thoracolumbar
Paravertebral ganglia
Postganglionic fiver is cholinergic
Craniosacral outflow
Cholinergic fibers only
Paravertebral ganglia
Postganglionic transmitter is ACh
Craniosacral outflow
Firing of the somatic motor neurons
Sympathetic nerve discharge
Vagal discharge
Innervates the adrenal medulla
Is a preganglionic fiber
Originates in the midbrain
Secretes norepinephrine as its transmitter
Postganglionic parasympathetic
Preganglionic sympathetic
Preganglionic parasympathetic
Postganglionic sympathetic
Are somatic motor neurons
Supply voluntary skeletal muscles
Include the phrenic, sciatic, and brachial nerves
Innervate the viscera
Parasympatholytic
Sympathomimetic
Sympatholytic
Anticholinergic
Slowed heart rate
Increased blood pressure
Dilation of the pupil of the eye
Stronger contraction of the heart
A vasoconstrictor effect caused by background firing of the sympathetic nerves
A vagally induced peripheral vasodilation
Casued by parasympathomimetic drugs
Caused by sympatholytic drugs
Are part of the craniosacral outflow
"drive" the vagus nerve
Are located within the organs of innervation
Are also called the sympathetic chain ganglia
Fight or flight
Muscarinic and nicotine receptors
Sympathetic nervous system
Paravertebral ganglia
Associated with the parasympathetic nervous system
Associated with craniosacral outflow
Located on the paravertebral ganglia
Activated by norepinephrine
Enzyme that degrades norepinephrine
Found within all cholinergic nerve terminals
Associated with sympathetic activity
Associated with adrenergic fibers
Increases heart rate
Causes the release of acetylcholine
Blocks the effects of norepinephrine at its receptor site
Lowers blood pressure
Parasympathomimetic
Sympatholytic
Vagolytic
Sympathomimetic
Activated by norepinephrine
Located on the effector organs of the sympathetic nervous system
Activated by catecholamines such as adrenalin and dopamine
Activated by ACh
Cholinergic
Slows heart rate
Its effect on the heart is eliminated by a beta1 adrenergic blocker
Its transmitter is ACh
Muscarinic receptors
Alpha1 adrenergic receptors
Beta1 adrenergic receptors
The paravertebral ganglia
Vagolytic
Sympatholytic
Parasympathopmimetic
Vagomimetic
Beta2 adrenergic agonist
Alpha1 adrebergic blocker
Vagomimetic
Parasympathomimetic
