Outline organization of the Nervous System
-
What components make up the Central Nervous System
-
What components make up the Peripheral Nervous System
-
How do the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System differ
-
Compare the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions of the ANS:
- Which has a more widespread effect? Why?
- Which one is referred to as “Fight-or-Flight”, emergency, exercise, or stress situation? “Rest-and-digest?
- Which one is referred to as the thoracolumbar and why?
- Which one is referred to as the cranioscaral and why?
-
List features (name, location, what can bind to receptor) of receptors for neurotransmitters
-
What neurotransmitter is released from a somatic motor neuron
-
What neurotransmitter is released from an autonomic postganglionic motor neuron of the Sympathetic Division
-
What two cholinergic receptors can the neurotransmitter Acetlycholine (ACh) bind to
- Nicotinic
2. Muscarinic
Where are the nicotinic and muscarinic receptors located
-
List two hormones produced by the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland)
-
Why are the products produced by the adrenal medulla considered hormones
-
What type of neuron stimulates the release of hormones from the adrenal medulla
-
- The neurotransmitter norepinepherine (NE) binds to _______ receptors.
- List the different types
- Adrenergic

Compare the actions of the neurotransmitters and their receptors from the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions on the smooth muscle of the bronchioles, which from the small airways in the lungs
-
What is meant by dual innervation
-
