THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS
SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM SYSTEM(ANS)
Sensory neurons>>>
Sensory neurons>> convey messages >> visceral organs ,stomach
head , body wall, and limbs and from
to CNS
receptors for special senses vision,
hearing, taste and smell (associated with interoceptors
to the CNS. (chemoreceptors&Mechanoreceptors)
Motor neurons>> regulate visceral
activities
Motor neurons >> impulses from CNS to
skeletal muscle only. ↑/↓ongoing activities in their effector
When somatic neurons cease to stimulate a tissues>>the cardiac muscle, smooth
muscle >>results in paralysis muscle, and glands.
Two divisions >
Sympathetic-↑HR/Nerve impulses
Parasympathetic-inhibition-rest, digestion
after a meal etc.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
NOTE>>
Main input to ANS >>frm visceral sensory
neurons
Associated>> interoceptors.
Interoceptors are >>sensory receptors >>
Located >>blood vessels; visceral organs,
muscles &nervous system
>>monitor internal environment
CONTIN..
Interoceptors >>: chemoreceptors >>
monitor blood CO2 level>> conscious sensations.
Mechanoreceptors >>detect degree of
stretch>> wall of organs/ blood vessels.
2 examples from perceived visceral
sensations>> pain sensation, damaged viscera,
angina pectorius from inadequate blood flow to
the heart.

IMPORTANT ROLES OF ANS
Ganglion>>
>>postganglioni >>
c neuron preganglionic
neuron
PREGANGLIONIC NEURON
Axons called preganglionic fibres
outside the CNS
These ganglia axons >>synapse on ganglionic
neurons
Cell body is in the brain / spinal cord.
Axon exits as a cranial or spinal nerve.
The axon is a small diameter
Myelinated >> usually extends to second
neuron in the ans pathway.

CONTIN ..PREGANGLIONIC NEURON
Sympathetic division>> The preganglionic
fibers from the thoracic & lumbar spinal
segments synapse in ganglia near spinal
cord.
They have their cell bodies in the lateral
horns of the gray matter in the 12 thoracic
segments & the first two lumber segments of
the spinal cord.
Due to this sympathetic division>>called
thoracolumber region.

OVERVIEW STRUCTURES OF THE SYMPATHETIC
&PARASYMPATHETIC
DIVISIONS
A. SYMPATHETIC DIVISION
Cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons >>of all thoracic segments of the
first two lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
The preganglionic axons leave spinal cord along with somatic motor neurons at same
segmental levels.
The sympathetic trunk ganglia are arranged anterior and lateral to vertebral column.
Superior cervical ganglion >>serves head &heart;

B. PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION
The post-ganglionic neurons are directly responsible for changes in the activity of the
target organ via biochemical modulation and neurotransmitter release.
