2. I. The Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) innervates all effector organs and tissues in the body except the skeletal muscles, including cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, glands, and adipose tissue 除了骨骼肌外，自律神經系統幾乎支配了所有的器官及組織，包括心肌、平滑肌、腺體及脂肪組織等
It is called ‘autonomic’ because its functions occur at a subconscious level  also referred to as the involuntary nervous system 它之所以稱為「自律的」，是因他的功能是在下意識或無意識下產生的，因此也稱為不隨意神經系統
P303

3. Dual Innervation of the Autonomic Nervous System
Primary function—regulate organs to maintain homeostasis 主要功能在調控器官維持在一恆定狀態
Parasympathetic and sympathetic activities tend to oppose each other 副交感神經及交感神經的活性常常是彼此相反的
Parasympathetic nervous system—rest 休息
Sympathetic nervous system—fight or flight response 戰鬥或逃跑反應

5. Anatomy of Autonomic Pathways
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. P
In autonomic nervous system consists of efferent pathways containing two neurons arranged in series that communicate between the CNS and the effector organ 自律神經系統由兩條傳出神經路徑以連續排列方式所組成，可溝通中樞與作用器官
The neurons communicate with each other through synapses located in peripheral structures called autonomic ganglia 突觸末梢與神經元互相溝通的結構稱為自律神經節
The preganglionic neuron originates in the CNS and travels to a ganglion in the periphery, where it synapses with a postganglionic neuron that innervates one of several types of effector organ 節前神經的神經元位於中樞，神經纖維中止於末梢的神經節；在神經節，節前神經纖維與節後纖維形成突觸，節後纖維的軸突末梢則支配許多不同的器官
A single preganglionic neuron generally synapses with several postsynaptic neurons; in addition, other neurons located entirely within each other ganglion, called intrinsic neurons 通常一條節前神經的軸突末梢會與許多節後神經形成突觸；此外會有一些神經完全位於神經節內，稱為內生性神經

6. Anatomy of the Sympathetic Nervous System
Preganglionic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system originate in thoracolumbar spinal cord  the sympathetic nervous system is sometimes called thoracolumbar system 交感神經的節前神經起源於脊髓的胸腰椎系統，因此 交感神經系統有時也稱為胸腰椎系統

Figure The most common pathway of sympathetic fibers.
The sympathetic preganglionic neurons exits the spinal cord as part of the ventral root and travels to the spinal nerve
Shortly after entering the spinal nerve the preganglionic neuron exits the nerve and travels via a white ramus 白枝 to a ganglion in the sympathetic chain, where the neuron synapses with a postganglionic neuron
The postganglionic neuron then returns to the spinal nerve via a gray ramus 灰枝

9. Anatomy of the Sympathetic Nervous System
Figure Sympathetic innervation of the adrenal gland.
P306
The various sympathetic ganglia are linked together to form sympathetic chains (1)
A very important exception to the arrangement is a group of long preganglionic neurons that innervate endocrine tissue--the adrenal medulla--instead of synapsing on postganglionic neurons (2)
The adrenal glands, located within fat pads on top of each kidney, consist of an outer cortex and inner medulla
Sympathetic preganglionic neurons innervate chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, stimulating the release of epinephrine (and a small amount of norepinephrine) into the blood

Figure Parasympathetic nervous system pathways.
Parasympathetic preganglionic neurons originate in either the brainstem or the sacral spinal cord, and their axons are found in cranial and pelvic nerves, respectively
These axons from synapses with postganglionic neurons in ganglia close to or within the effector organs
One important cranial nerves is the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), which originates in the medulla oblongata and innervates much of the viscera, including the lung, heart, stomach, small intestines, and liver

14. Autonomic Neurotransmitters and Receptors
The two neurotransmitters in the PNS are acetylcholine and norepinephrine
Neurons that release the acetylcholine are referred to to as cholinergic
All the preganglionic neurons of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves & postganglionic neurons of parasympathetic nerves are cholinergic
The somatic neuron of the efferent nervous system is also cholinergic
Neurons that release the norepinephrine are referred to to as adrenergic
Almost all sympathetic postganglionic neurons are adrenergic
Some sympathetic postganglionic neurons release acetylcholine, specifically those innervate the sweat glands P

15. Autonomic Neurotransmitters and Receptors
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
Figure Neurotransmitters and receptors in the autonomic nervous system. (a) Neurotransmitters and receptors for the three distinct anatomical pathways of the sympathetic nervous system. In all cases, the preganglionic neuron releases acetylcholine (Ach), which then binds to nicotinic cholinergic receptors on either postganglionic neurons or endocrine cells in the adrenal medulla. The postganglionic neurons release (NE), which binds to adrenergic receptors on the effector organs.
P308

16. Autonomic Neurotransmitters and Receptors
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
Figure Neurotransmitters and receptors in the autonomic nervous system. (b) Neurotransmitters and receptors in the parasympathetic pathway. Acetylcholine is released from both preganglionic and postganglionic neurons; it binds to nicotinic cholinergic receptors on the postganglionic neuron, and to muscarinic cholinergic receptors at the effector organ.
P308

17. Types of Cholinergic Receptors
Nicotinic 尼古丁的 cholinergic receptors are located on the cell bodies and dendrites of sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons, on chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, and on skeletal muscle cells
Open channels for cations (Na+ and K+)
Result = depolarization
Muscarinic 蕈毒鹼的 cholinergic receptors are found on effector organs of the parasympathetic nervous system, such as the heart, smooth muscles controlling the contraction of the eye or the digestive tract
G protein coupled
Effect depends on target cell P

18. Types of Adrenergic Receptors
There are two major classes of adrenergic receptors located in effector organs of the sympathetic nervous system: alpha () and beta ()
Each of these is further divided into sub-classes: 1 and 2, and 1, 2, and 3
Adrenergic receptors are coupled to G proteins that either activate or inhibit second messenger systems
The a receptors have a greater affinity for norepinephrine than epinephrine and are generally excitatory
b1 and b3 receptors have approximately equal affinities for norepinephrine and epinephrine, and tend to be excitatory
b2 receptors have a much greater affinity for epinephrine than norepinephrine, and are generally inhibitory P

21. Summary of Adrenergic Receptors

22. Autonomic Neuroeffector Junctions
The synapse between an efferent neuron and its effector organ is called a neuroeffector junction 神經-作用者聯合
Near the effector organ the axon of a postganglionic neuron splits into branches bearing swellings called varicosities 囊節
Whereas voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels are present thought the axon to support propagation of action potentials, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are concentrated at the varicosity
Neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles 突觸小泡 in the varicosity

Figure Neuroeffector junctions of the autonomic nervous system. P

23. Autonomic Neuroeffector Junctions
Copyright © 2008Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
When an action potential depolarizes a varicosity, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open, allowing Ca2+ to enter the cell and triggering the release of acetylcholine by exocytosis 胞吐
Acetylcholine binds to muscarinic receptors on the effector organ membrane, thereby activating a G protein
Once acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase located on the effector organ, choline is actively transported back into the postganglionic varicosity and used to synthesize more acetylcholine
Figure Neurotransmitter release from varicosities. P

When an action potential depolarizes a varicosity, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open, allowing Ca2+ to enter the cell and triggering the release of norepinephrine by exocytosis
Norepinephrine binds to adrenergic receptors on the effector organ membrane, thereby activating a G protein
Some norepinephrine is actively transported back into the postganglionic neuron’s varicosity, where it is degraded by monoamine oxidase (MAO) in mitochondria
Figure Neurotransmitter release from varicosities. P

25. Regulation of Autonomic Function
Dual innervation of organs
Balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic activity
Parasympathetic—rest, quiet, relaxed states, increase gastrointestinal activities; decrease heart rate and blood pressure
Sympathetic—excitation; fight-or-flight response; prepare for emergency/stress/exercise; increase heart rate and blood pressure; mobilize energy stores; pupillary dilation; decrease gastrointestinal/urinary functions
Most changes in the activity of the ANS are accomplished through the operation of visceral reflexes
Increases in parasympathetic activity coupled with decreases in sympathetic activity
Increases in sympathetic activity coupled with decreases in parasympathetic activity

32. II. Somatic Nervous System
The somatic nervous system 體神經系統 controls only one type of effector organ—skeletal muscle 骨骼肌, which are connected to bones and thus function in support and movement of the body
The somatic nervous system has only a single type of efferent neuron: motor neurons 運動神經
Most skeletal muscle is under voluntary control  the somatic nervous system is also referred to as the voluntary nervous system 隨意神經系統
P314

33. Anatomy of the Somatic Nervous System
Figure Anatomy of somatic nervous system pathway. The somatic nervous system consists of motor neurons, which originate in the ventral horns of the spinal cord and terminate on skeletal muscle fibers throughout the body.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
In the somatic nervous system, a single motor neurons travels from the central nervous system to a skeletal muscle cell 骨骼肌細胞
Motor neurons originate in the ventral horn 腹根 of the spinal cord 脊髓 and receive input from multiple sources, including afferents (for spinal reflexes), the brainstem 腦幹 extrapyramidal tracts 錐體外路徑, and the cerebral cortex 大腦皮質 pyramidal tract 錐體路徑 P

34. Anatomy of the Somatic Nervous System
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
A single motor neuron innervates many muscle cells (called muscle fibers), but each muscle fiber is innervated by only one motor neuron
A motor neuron plus all the muscle fibers it innervates is called a motor unit 運動單位
When a motor neuron is activated, it stimulates all the muscle fibers in its unit to contract 收縮
Note that the muscle fibers within a given motor unit are scattered 分散 throughout the muscle
Figure Motor units.
P314,316

35. Neuromuscular Junction
Synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber
Each branch of a motor neuron synapses with a skeletal muscle fiber at a single highly specialized central region of the fiber called the neuromuscular junction 神經肌肉聯合
The axon terminals of the motor neuron, called terminal boutons 終末 膨大, store and release acetylcholine, the only neurotransmitter in the somatic nervous system
Opposite these terminal boutons is a specialized region of the muscle fiber’s plasma membrane called the motor end plate 運動終板, which has containing large numbers of nicotinic receptors 尼古丁接受器
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings.
Figure Functional anatomy of the neuromuscular junction. P

36. Neuromuscular Junction
When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal of a motor neuron (), voltage-gated calcium channels open and Ca2+ enters the cytosol ()  triggers the release by exocytosis of acetylcholine ()
Acetylcholine diffuses to and binds to nicotinic receptors at the motor end plate, opening cation channels  Na+ enters the cell (), producing and end -plate potential (EPP) that generates currents throughout the plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle cell (), depolarizing the membrane to threshold to generate an action potential ()
The action potential spreads along the skeletal muscle cell membrane, ultimately stimulating contraction
Acetylcholinesterase degrades acetylcholine to produce acetate and choline ()  choline is actively transported into the terminal bouton (), where it can be used to synthesize more acetylcholine

Figure Functional anatomy of the neuromuscular junction. P

37. Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia gravis 重症肌無力 is a disease affecting transmission at neuromuscular junction
Because the muscles most frequently affected are those of the head, difficulties in speaking (dysarthria) 發音困難 and in swallowing (dysphagia) 吞嚥困難 are common symptoms; dropping of the eyelids (ptosis) 眼瞼下垂 is also a common sign
We now know that myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease 自體免疫疾病— a disease in which the immune system 免疫系統 attacks proteins that are normal components of body tissues
In myasthenia gravis, the immune system produces antibodies 抗體 against acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junctions  decrease in the number of functional receptors on the cell surface impairs the ability of these muscle cell to respond to acetylcholine
P318

38. Curare
Curare 劍毒 is an extract of a plant (Chondrodendron tomentosum) found in South America
When an animal was struck by a curare-laced arrow or dart, it would become paralyzed and eventually die from respiratory failure 呼吸衰竭
The effective component of curare is a compound called tubocurarine, which blocks communication at the neuromuscular junction  tubocurarine binds to nicotinic receptors, thereby preventing acetylcholine from binding (antagonism 拮抗作用)
When this occurs, skeletal muscles are unable to contract even when action potentials are transmitted by the motor neurons that innervate them
Curare was first used as a skeletal muscle relaxant 骨骼肌鬆弛劑 to supplement general anesthesia 全身麻醉劑 in the 1930s
