HLSC 2F95 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Autonomic Nervous System, Postganglionic Nerve Fibers, Parasympathetic Ganglion
Document Summary
1/3 on first term stuff (lecture 1-5) 2/3 on second term stuff (lectures 6-12) Look more at nervous system lectures and content rather than all the information in the textbook (too much detail that don"t need to know) The functions of the nervous system (ns) are distributed in the structural organization of the nervous system. Proper functioning of each ns division depends upon interdependent afferent / efferent cooperation. What gets done consciously and unconsciously is amazing! Conducts nerves impulses to and from the brain. Processes some sensory information to allow reflex (motor) actions. Peripheral nerves - will be dealing with - fib 13-1. This figure is very helpful when looking at the different layers (3 main) Central canal - contains cerebral spinal fluid. 2 roots posterior/dorsal and anterior - join to form a peripheral nerve. Spinal cord structure & meninges - fig 14-2. Ganglion - connection of nerve cells not part of the cns.
