somatic nervous system
autonomic nervous system

SNS/PNS
sympathetics vs parasympathetics
100

somatic motor output controls this

movement

100

autonomic motor output controls these cells and operates as (voluntary/involuntary)

visceral cells, inivoluntary

100

somatic receptors are located in 

skin, skeletal muscles, joints

100

the SNS is most active during these situations and is responsible for this response, while the PNS is most active during these situations and is responsible for this response

SNS: stressful, fight or flight

PNS: relaxed, rest and digest

100

the parasympathetic nervous system has this effect on the heart

inhibitory

200

this (muscle type) is the effector of motor output

skeletal muscle

200

autonomic motor output helps maintain this via autonomic regulation

homeostasis

200

autonomic receptors are located in 

viscera

200

how many alpha and beta receptors are there in the SNS, and are each excitatory/inhibitory

alpha: 1-excitatory, 2-inhibitory

beta: 1-excitatory, 2-inhibitory, 3-excitatory

200

the salivary glands are stimulated by

the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

300

this is released from the efferent motor neuron

ACh (Acetylcholine)

300

the autonomic nervous system is broken down into these three subdivisions

sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, enteric nervous system

300

exteroceptors receive stimuli from this area while proprioceptors receive stimuli from this are

exteroceptors: external environment

proprioceptors: skeletal muscles and tendons

300

these receptors are both excitatory and inhibitory in the PNS, and perform these 4 main functions

muscarinic

excite: smooth muscle of digestive tract, smooth muscle of airways, salivary glands

inhibit: conduction system of heart

300

the sympathetic nervous system affects the digestive system in this way

inhibitory

400

ACh binds to these receptors on skeletal muscle cells

nicotinic receptors

400

these are the two efferent motor neurons between the CNS and effector in autonomic motor output and their myelination status

preganglionic neurons, myelinated

postganglionic neurons, unmyelinated

400

explain the function of receptors after receiving a stimulus

stimulus received, opening/closing of channels, depolarization (proportional to size of stimulus), action potential (only if threshold is reached), frequency conducted to CNS for interpretation

400

neuropathy is defined as this, and the symptoms of somatic (sensory and motor), and autonomic neuropathies would look like this

damage to nerves

somatic: sensory-pins, needles, burning, numbness, pain; motor-muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, diminished reflexes

autonomic: lack of regulation-blood pressure, digestive system, heart rate

400

the parasympathetic nervous system has this effect on sweat glands

NO EFFECT
500

somatic efferent motor neurons are this (myelinated or unmyelinated)

myelinated

500

these are the effectors of autonomic motor output 

cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, visceral cells

500

receptors that adapt are known as this, while receptors that do not adapt (or adapt very little) are known as this

phasic (adapt), tonic (do not adapt)

500

neurotransmitters of the SNS: preganglionic release this, postganglionic release this

neurotransmitters of the PNS: preganglionic release this, postganglionic release this

neurotransmitters of the SNS: preganglionic release ACh, postganglionic release norepinephrine (NE)

neurotransmitters of the PNS: preganglionic release ACh, postganglionic release ACh

500

the sympathetic nervous system has this effect on the skin and viscera, and this effect on the skeletal muscle

skin and viscera: stimulates

skeletal muscle: inhibits
