The nervous system helps all parts of the body communicate with each other. It is made up of several sub-divisions with each subdivision havingstructural and functional characteristics that distinguish it from the others.
Complete the diagram to show all the missing sections and explain their functions and where relevant their relationships to each other.
The autonomic nervous system consists of:
The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
The cerebral hemisphere and the corpus callosum
The somatic nervous system
The cerebellum and medulla oblongata
The brain and spinal cord
Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the autonomic and somatic divisions of
the nervous system.
Neurons release acetylcholine that binds
to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors located
on the effector organs

Receptors on effector organs are also
responsive to epinephrine that is released
into the blood by the adrenal medulla
Innervates smooth and cardiac muscle,
glands, and Gl neurons
Neurons release norepinephrine that
binds to adrenergic receptors located on
the effector organs

- Match the following statements about anatomy to the correct division of the autonomic nervous system. Select "Both" if the statement or effect is true of both divisions. Innervate(s) most major organs of the body. Innervate(s) most blood vessels. Most effector pathways involve two neurons. The vagus cranial nerve carries these fibers. ANSWER OPTIONS: Parasympathetic, Sympathetic, BOTHarrow_forwardWhich of the following is most likely a result of the activation of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system? an increased breathing rate decreased blood flow to the kidneys promoting the digestive system increased blood flow to the lungs an increased heart ratearrow_forwardIn the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system: Select one: The ratio between the number of postganglionic and preganglionic neurons is small. A single preganglionic neuron usually synapses with a single postganglionic neuron. An important functional characteristic is convergence of the preganglionic fibers. Preganglionic fibers are usually much longer than the postganglionic fibers. Activity of the neurons tends to have a more generalized and widespread effect on the body.arrow_forward
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation causes an involuntary motor output in response to a magnetic stimulation over the skull. Why do we see this output? Include the following concepts in your response: •neuroanatomy •central versus peripheral nervous system •neuron structure and direction of information flow •hyper versus depolarization •specific ions •membrane potential •diffusion and electrostatic pressurearrow_forwardVisit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab)to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observeelectrophysiological processes in the nervous system,where scientists directly measure the electrical signalsproduced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur sorapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is nothelpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded froma neuron and it “pops” each time the neuron fires an actionpotential. These action potentials are firing so fast that itsounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists canrecognize the patterns within that static to understand whatis happening. Why is the leech model used for measuringthe electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?arrow_forwardThis assignment is designed to get you thinking about the functions of some of the structures in the central and peripheral nervous system. Listed below are different symptoms or complications that can be attributed to something from the nervous system. List the specific structure that is most likely the root cause of the pathology. In addition, label which branch of the nervous system that structure is a part of (CNS or PNS). I suggest making a table with the pathology in one column, the affected structure in the next column, and the nervous system section in the final column. Two examples are below. It is possible that more than one answer could be correct. Pathology/Patient Specific Structure CNS or PNS?

- Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic Nervous System Most ganglia lie close to the spinal cord and form two chains of ganglia-one on each side of the spinal cord Increases intestinal motility and stimulates intestinal secretion Postganglionic axons are generally short Preganglionic axons are generally short Postganglionic axons release NE that binds to adrenergic receptors located on the effectors Decreases heart rate, contractility, and conduction velocity Ganglia lie within, or very close to, innervated organs Decreases intestinal motility and inhibits intestinal secretion Long preganglionic axons release ACh that binds to nicotinic receptors located within the ganglia Neurons leave the CNS from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord Parasympathetic Nervous System Generalized activation is called the fight-or-flight response…arrow_forwardThe peripheral nervous system’s efferent or motor division may be broken into two broad categories. Please shortly describe their importance to human body homeostasis.arrow_forwardIn terms of function when a presynaptic neuron receiving input from a nearby inhibitory neuron, it can be inferred that the both neurons firing won't be synchronized activation of the inhibitory neuron is nullified activation of the presynaptic neurotransmitter release is enhanced this type of interaction represents a regulatory input of neuronal activationarrow_forward
- Which of the following functions is NOT a unique role of the sympathetic nervous system? Constriction or dilation of blood vessels Decrease blood glucose levels Release of renin from the kidneys to increase blood pressure Activation of sweat glands Innervation of adrenal medullaarrow_forwardIn Neurology, please explain the relationship between suprathreshold depolarization and induced electrical neuro transmission.
