|
Term
Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system originate in the intermediolateral grey horn of the spinal cord between_______ and ________also called the __________ division, which forms the sympathetic chain? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
True or False: The sympathetic nervous system preganglionic fibers are short, whereas the postganglionic fibers are long and unmyelinated? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
Norepinephrine attaches to ______ and ______ receptors (choose below)?
a. Afferent/Efferent b. Delta/Gamma c. Alpha/Beta d. Sigma/Theta |

Definition
|
|
Term
True or False: The preganglionic fibers exit the spinal cord via the anterior ventral root and enter the sympathetic chain? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
True or False: The preganglionic fibers which enter the sympathetic chain are stationary and DO NOT ascend or descend at the level from which they were generated? |
|
Definition
False: they may ascend, descend or synapse at the level from which they are generated |
|
|
Term

|
Term
Stellate ganglia is formed by the inferior _______ and first _______ ganglia. |
|
Definition
Cervical & Thoracic (eye, lachrymal glands, salivary glands, sweat glands, hair follicles & blood vessels of head, neck & arms) |
|
|
Term

Definition
Horner's Syndrome
(IPSILATERAL, miosis, ptosis, anhydrosis, flushing, increased skin temperature, nasal stuffiness/congestion)

Term
The adrenal medulla is the major organ of what system? |
|
Definition
Sympathetic Nervous System |
|
|
Term
The adrenal medulla secretes what two catecholamines? Which one is secreted in a greater quantity? |
|
Definition
Epinephrine (great quantities) Norepinephrine (little) |
|
|
Term
The adrenal medulla consists of (1) type of neuron (pre or post) ganglionic fibers? |
|
Definition
Pre-ganglionic (NO post-ganglionic fibers); Epinephrine is stimulated to be released (via the release of ATCH) from the preganglionic fibers |
|
|
Term
Autonomic sweating is produced by (sympathetic/parasympathetic) nervous system? (choose one) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Sweating is produced when the preganglionic fiber secretes ATCH and the postganglionic fiber secretes (Norepinephrine/ATCH)? (choose one) |
|
Definition
ATCH-Acetylcholine is not just a parasympathetic neurotransmitter, but can be released by the sympathetic nervous system postganglionic fibers which secrete ATCH resulting in muscarinic stimulation of sweat glands. |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
CN II, VII, IX, X (also arises from S1-S5) |
|
|
Term
The parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are (short/long) and are (myelinated/unmyelinated)? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
The postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous system are (short/long) and (myelinated/unmyelinated)? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
The postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous system release (norepinephrine/ATCH) at the organ which attaches to (nicotinic/muscarinic) receptors? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Constricts pupils, salivation, decreases heart rate, constricts coronary vessels, contracts bladder, constricts bronchioles, increases peristalsis, erection, stimulates insulin release... |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
