2 Introduction The autonomic nervous system functions outside of our conscious awareness The autonomic nervous system makes routine adjustments in our body’s systems The autonomic nervous system: Regulates body temperature Coordinates cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive functions © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 2

3 A Comparison of the Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems
Axons innervate the visceral organs Has afferent and efferent neurons Afferent pathways originate in the visceral receptors Somatic nervous system Axons innervate the skeletal muscles Afferent pathways originate in the skeletal muscles © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 3

4 Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Subdivisions of the ANS
The autonomic nervous system consists of two major subdivisions Sympathetic division Also called the thoracolumbar division Most active during times of stress, exertion, or emergency Parasympathetic division Also called the craniosacral division Most active during resting conditions © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 4

36 The Parasympathetic Division
Preganglionic neurons are in the brain stem and sacral segments Preganglionic neurons do not diverge as much as the sympathetic division Therefore, the parasympathetic division is more localized and specific as compared to the sympathetic division Postganglionic neurons are near (terminal) the target organ or within (intramural) the target organ © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 36

42 The Parasympathetic Division
Parasympathetic Activation and Neurotransmitter Release All preganglionic and postganglionic fibers release ACh at their synapses and neuroeffector junctions Most parasympathetic stimulations are short lived This is due to the immediate breakdown of ACh by acetylcholinesterase Any diffused ACh will be deactivated by cholinesterase Thus, parasympathetic stimulations are very localized © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 42

43 The Parasympathetic Division
Plasmalemma Receptors and Responses Two types of ACh receptors are found on the postsynaptic plasmalemmae: Nicotinic receptors Respond to nicotine Found on surfaces of parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglionic neurons Muscarinic receptors Respond to muscarine Found on surfaces of parasympathetic cholinergic neuroeffector junctions © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 43
