Autonomic ganglia

The parasympathetic division is most active during...

Digestion, growth, immune responses, and energy storage, long term

The autonomic nervous system influences its targets (smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and glands) using a

Disynaptic pathway

The sympathetic division of the ANS induces what?

Fight or flight bodily responses

The sympathetic division is most active during the 4 F's

Fight, flight, fright and (sex), fast term

What 3 types of tissue does the ANS innervate?

Glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle

The preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic division lie within the _____________ of the spinal cord

Intermediolateral gray matter

The somatic motor system of the somatic nervous system division of the PNS controls its targets (skeletal muscles) via a

Monosynaptic pathway

Can the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems be stimulated at the same time?

No

The physiological influences of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions generally ________ on another

Oppose

The cell bodies of all the lower motor neurons that are a part of the autonomic nervous system division of the PNS lie where?

Outside the CNS

Lacrimal (tear-producing) glands are innervated (and excited) only by _________ input

Parasympathetic

The axons of which (parasympathetic preganglionic axons or sympathetic preganglionic axons) travel further?

Parasympathetic preganglionic axons travel further

What zone of the hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?

Periventricular zone

The neurons in the autonomic ganglia are called

Postganglionic neurons

Postganglionic neurons are driven by

Preganglionic neurons

The parasympathetic division of the ANS induces what?

Rest and digest bodily responses

Several cranial nerves as well as the nerves of the sacral spinal cord

Blood vessels of the skin, and the sweat glands, are innervated (and excited) only by ______ axons

Sympathetic

The preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic division that lie within the intermediolateral gray matter of the spinal cord send their axons through the ventral roots of the spinal cord to synapse on postganglionic neurons that lie in the (2 things).......

Sympathetic chain, which lies next to the spinal column OR within collateral ganglia found within the abdominal cavity

Preganglionic axons of the parasympathetic division of the ANS emerge only from...

The brain stem and the lowest (sacral) segments of the spinal cord

Where are the cell bodies of preganglionic neurons found?

The spinal cord and brain stem

Preganglionic axons of the sympathetic division of the ANS emerge only from...

The thoracic and lumbar segments of the middle third of the spinal cord

Whereas the postganglionic lower motor neurons for preganglionic axons of the sympathetic division lie within the sympathetic chain, that lies right next to the spinal column, the postganglionic lower motor neurons for the preganglionic axons of the parasympathetic division lie in parasympathetic ganglia that are located next to, on, or in.....

Within the CNS, either in the ventral horn of the spinal cord or the brain stem
