Anatomy and Cell Biology 3319 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Eyelid, Skeletal Muscle, Spinal Nerve
Document Summary
Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the nervous system on a multiple choice question: function, anatomy, neurotransmitters, routes travelled. Compare and contrast autonomic and somatic nervous system pathways on a multiple choice exam. Locate the sympathetic trunk & adrenal glands on a cadaveric image and explain their contributions to the sympathetic response in a short answer exam. Peripheral nervous system: somatic nervous system: controls external actions of skin and muscles. Somatic motor = conscious movement of muscles: autonomic nervous systems (i. e. visceral motor): controls internal activities of organs, smooth muscles, and glands. 1 (from ventral horn of spinal cord all the way to muscle. 2 presynaptic ganglion synapses at ganglion with the post-synaptic ganglion. The part of the pns associated with skeletal muscle and voluntary control of the body. Has 1 neuron reaching from the ventral horn to the somatic skeletal muscle. Has pre-ganglionic neuron which only releases acetylcholine to the post-ganglionic neuron.
