General
The two systems are the main regulatory and coordinating systems of the body.

Carry action potentials from the periphery to the CNS.
What is afferent neurons?
The neurotransmitter.
Pairs of cranial nerves.
What is 12?
Collection of nerve cells outside the CNS.
What is ganglia?
Glossopharyngeal cranial nerve is what roman numerial.
What is IX?
Primary neurotransmitter.
What is Acetylcholine.
Receptors of this system are called?
What are adrenergic receptors.
What is the brainstem?
Transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and certain glands.
What is the autonomic nervous system?
What is neurons and neuroglia.
The length of the preganglionic nerve fibers.
Long
Three catecholamines are released into the bloodstream during a stress response.
What are epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

What is dermatone?
Support cells of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
What are neuroglia.
What is nicotinic and muscarinic.
Adrenergic receptors found primarily in the heart.
What are beta-1 receptors.
Coordinates subconscious movements of the skeletal muscles.
What is the cerebellum?
Neurons that transmit impulses to the brain and spinal cord from all parts of the body.
What are sensory neurons (afferent neurons)?
The three parts of a neuron.
What is cell body, dendrite, and axon.
Drugs that work by blocking the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine, decreasing the action of acetylcholine on its effector organ.
What are anticholinergics.
Three effects of stimulus of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart.
What is increase heart rate, increase cardiac output and vasoconstriction.
The smallest region of the brainstem.
