ANS

ANS

  • effector: cardiac, smooth muscle, gland
  • efferent pathway & ganglia: 2 neuron chain - pre & postganglionic 
  • slower conduction than somatic due to thin/unmyelinated axon & motor neuron synapse in ganglion
  • neurotransmitter effects: SNS NE, PNS Ach - excitatory or inhibitory 
Somatic NS

  • effector: skeletal 
  • efferent pathway & ganglia: motor neuron cell body in CNS, their axon extend in spinal/cranial nerve 
  • neurotransmitter effects: Ach - excitatory 
SNS
  • fight or flight
  • long postganglionic 
  • highly branched 
PNS
  • rest & digest 
  • short postganglionic 
  • few branched - local effect 
Ach + cholinergic receptor 
  • nicotinic in postganglionic neuron
  • muscarinic in effector - PNS
NE + adrenergic receptor in viscera effector
