FunctionalOverviewoftheNervousSystem
TheAutonomicNervousSystem• “Involuntary”• Functiontomodulateongoingautomaticactivities• Effectors(targettissues)– smoothmuscle– cardiacmuscle– glands
• Functionalexamples:– heartrate– ventilation– digestivetractactivity
ANSisaTwoNeuronSystem
• Preganglionicfibers– exittheCNSandterminateontoautonomicganglia
• Postganglionicfibers– exittheautonomicgangliaandterminateontothetarget
MotorNeuronSystems
ComponentsandSubdivisionsoftheANS
• Sympatheticdivision– Fightorflight– Preganglionic fibers
emergefromT1-L2– Postganglionicneurons

• Parasympatheticdivision– Restandrepose– Preganglionic fibers
emergefrompons,medulla,S2-S4
