Topic 3.4 concept check
Autonomic Nervous System controls almost every essential body process!
Motor division of the PNS to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands!
Sympathetic ↑ energy expenditure!
Parasympathetic ↑ energy storage!
Bothdivisions counterbalance#to#increase/decrease effector organ function (variability in
receptor subclass in organ)#!
Acetylcholine and NorAdrenaline#main neurotransmitters in ANS!
Control of ANS!
Hypothalamus = boss, regulates autonomic efferent nerve activation!
Limbic system (emotional senses and memories) can trigger hypothalamus#→
physiological responses to emotion!

Document Summary
Autonomic nervous system controls almost every essential body process. Motor division of the pns to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and glands. Bothdivisions counterbalance to increase/decrease e ector organ function (variability in receptor subclass in organ) Hypothalamus = boss, regulates autonomic e erent nerve activation. Limbic system (emotional senses and memories) can trigger hypothalamus physiological responses to emotion. Spinal cord mediates autonomic re exes bladder and bowel. Photoreceptors are located in the __retina (neural layer)__, which is the __sensory____ layer of the eye. The mucous membrane that lines the eyelids is called __conjunctiva_____. Connective tissue plates that support the palpebrae are called __tarsal plates__. Compare and contrast the functions of rods and cones. Rods: more rods than cones, used for periphery, respond to dim light (not sensitive) Cones: more sensitive, respond to bright light, high acuity of colour, fovea centralis: only cones, maculae lutea: mostly cones. Compare and contrast phototransduction in light and dark.
