    The document discusses the autonomic nervous system by comparing it to the somatic nervous system and describing its key characteristics and functions. It outlines how the autonomic nervous system has both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions that utilize different neurons, ganglia locations, and neurotransmitters to direct various body functions like the fight or flight response or rest and digest responses. The goals are to understand the structural aspects and roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems through their effects on different organs and tissues.

    The Autonomic Nervous System

    Chapter Study Guide/Objectives

    COMPARISON OF SOMATIC AND AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEMS


    1. List the structural and functional characteristics of the autonomic nervous system.
    2. Distinguish between the pre- and postganglionic neurons, in terms of location.
    3. Specify the different origins and destination ganglia for the sympathetic (thoracolumbar)
    and parasympathetic (craniosacral) preganglionic neurons.
    4. Describe the differing locations of the ganglia of the sympathetic and parasympathetic
    systems.
    PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE ANS
    5. Discuss the primary purpose of the sympathetic division and the general body functions it
    directs.
    6. Describe specific responses of effectors due to increased sympathetic stimulation.
    7. Discuss the primary purpose of the parasympathetic division and the general body
    functions it directs.
    8. Describe specific responses of effectors due to increased parasympathetic stimulation.
    ANS NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND RECEPTORS
    9. Identify the cholinergic neurons, receptors, and neurotransmitters.
    10. Identify the adrenergic neurons, receptors, and neurotransmitters.
