The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Part 1 Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Neural structures outside CNS, although soma may be w/in CNS sensory receptors, peripheral nerves, ganglia, & motor endings Divisions of PNS Afferent division (sensory) Efferent division (motor) Somatic – innervate skeletal muscle Autonomic – innervate smooth, cardiac, glands, visceral organs Sympathetic – soma in spinal cord Parasympathetic – soma in midbrain or sacrum Efferent Division Motor neurons of somatic division Terminate at motor end plate neuromuscular junction Motor neurons of autonomic division Varicosities in smooth & cardiac muscle & glands Afferent Division - Sensory Neurons Sensory neuron termini (dendritic processes) specialized to respond to stimuli Activation triggers impulses to CNS Perception in brain Receptor Classification by Stimulus Type Mechanoreceptors – change in neuron shape Thermoreceptors - temperature Photoreceptors - light Chemoreceptors - chemicals Nociceptors – pain-causing stimuli (chemicals) Receptor Classification by Location: Exteroceptors Near body surface Respond to stimuli arising outside body Include special sense organs Interoceptors Respond to stimuli arising w/in body Found in internal viscera & blood vessels Proprioceptors Respond to stretch In skeletal muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, & connective tissue Receptor Classification by Structure Simple Dendritic process triggered directly by stimulus Encapsulated or unencapsulated nociceptors touch/pressure Complex Receptor cells w/in special sense organs Sensory neuron stimulated by bipolar neuron Photoreceptors Mechanoreceptors Olfactory receptors Gustatory receptors Table 13.1.1 Table 13.1.2 Adaptation of Sensory Receptors sensory receptors subjected to unchanging stimulus Receptor membranes become less responsive Receptor potentials decline in frequency or stop Pressure, touch, & smell receptors adapt quickly Merkel’s discs, Ruffini’s corpuscles, & interoceptors for blood chemicals adapt slowly Pain receptors & proprioceptors do not adapt Structure of a Nerve Classification of Nerves by Directionality Sensory (afferent) – signals TO CNS Motor (efferent) – signals FROM CNS Mixed – both sensory & motor most common somatic & autonomic signals Regeneration of Nerve Fibers Mature neurons are amitotic If soma remains intact, neuron can regenerate Figure 13.4 Cranial Nerves 12 pairs of nerves directly from brain Sensory, motor, or mixed I -
