  1. Chapter 16, part 1 Neural Integration II: The Autonomic Nervous System and Higher Order Functions

  2. Learning Objectives • Compare the organization of the autonomic nervous system with the somatic nervous system. • Describe the structures and functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS. • Describe the mechanisms of neurotransmitter release in the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. • Describe the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic neurotransmitters on target organs and tissues.

  3. Learning Objectives • Describe the hierarchy of interacting levels of control in the ANS • Explain how memories are created, stored and recalled. • Summarize the effects of aging on the nervous system.

  4. SECTION 16-1An Overview of the ANS

  5. ANS • Coordinates cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive functions • Preganglionic neurons in the CNS send axons to synapse on ganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia outside the CNS

  6. Divisions of the ANS • Sympathetic division (thoracolumbar, “fight or flight”) • Thoracic and lumbar segments • Parasympathetic division (craniosacral, “rest and repose”) • Preganglionic fibers leaving the brain and sacral segments

  7. SECTION 16-2The Sympathetic Division

  8. Sympathetic division anatomy • Preganglionic neurons between segments T1 and L2 • Ganglionic neurons in ganglia near vertebral column • Specialized neurons in adrenal glands

  9. Figure 16.3 The Organization of the Sympathetic Division of the ANS Figure 16.3

  10. Sympathetic ganglia • Sympathetic chain ganglia (paravertebral ganglia) • Collateral ganglia (prevertebral ganglia)

  13. Figure 16.4 Sympathetic Pathways Figure 16.4c

  14. Organization and anatomy of the sympathetic division • Segments T1-L2, ventral roots give rise to myelinated white ramus • Leads to sympathetic chain ganglia

  15. Figure 16.5 The Distribution of Sympathetic Innervation PLAY Animation: The sympathetic division Figure 16.5

  16. Postganglionic fibers • Rejoin spinal nerves and reach their destination by way of the dorsal and ventral rami • Those targeting structures in the thoracic cavity form sympathetic nerves • Go directly to their destination

  17. Abdominopelvic viscera • Sympathetic innervation via preganglionic fibers that synapse within collateral ganglia • Splanchic nerves

  18. Abdominopelvic viscera • Celiac ganglion • Innervates stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen • Superior mesenteric ganglion • Innervates small intestine and initial portion of large intestine • Inferior mesenteric ganglion • Innervates kidney, urinary bladder, sex organs, and final portion of large intestine

  19. Sympathetic activation • In crises, the entire sympathetic division responds • Sympathetic activation • Affects include increased alertness, energy and euphoria, increased cardiovascular and respiratory activities, elevation in muscle tone, mobilization of energy resources

  20. Neurotransmitters and sympathetic function • Stimulation of sympathetic division has two distinct results • Release of ACh or NE at specific locations • Secretion of E and NE into general circulation • Most postganglionic fibers are adrenergic, a few are cholinergic or nitroxidergic • Two types of receptors are alpha receptors and beta receptors • Sympathetic ganglionic neurons end in telodendria studded with varicosities filled with neurotransmitter
