Musculocutaneous Nerve Carries sensory info from the lateral arm and motor commands to the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. Radial Nerve Carries sensory info from the posterior arm and motor commands to the triceps brachii, wrist extensors and brachioradialis muscles. Ulnar Nerve Carries sensory info from the palm and the medial hand/fingers and sends motor commands to the wrist flexors and intrinsic hand muscles. Part of the lumbosacral plexus Lumbar Plexus Supplies much of the lower limb L1 L2 Femoral Gives rise to several important nerves L3 Obturator L4 Obturator Femoral L5 Femoral Nerve Carries sensory info from much of the thigh, leg, and foot and sends motor commands to quadriceps femoris muscles. Obturator Nerve Carries sensory info from the thigh and sends motor commands to adductor muscles. Sacral Plexus Part of the lumbosacral plexus Gives rise to several Supplies much of the pelvis, thigh, and leg Superior gluteal L4 Inferior gluteal Pudendal Superior gluteal L5 S1 Inferior gluteal S2 S3 S4 Pudendal Sciatic S5 Co1 Sciatic Sciatic Nerve Carries sensory info from the skin of much of the lower limb and sends motor commands to hamstring muscles as well as other muscles of the lower leg Sciatic and feet. Gluteal Nerves Primarily send motor commands Superior gluteal to adductor muscles of the thigh Inferior gluteal and to the gluteus maximus. Pudendal Nerve Carries sensory info from the external genitalia and supplies motor commands to the external urethral and anal sphincters. • From sensation to perception Sensation is the awareness of changes in the internal and external environment • Perception is the conscious interpretation of those stimuli Neural integration 1.

Perceptual level Motor control Reflex arc Stretch reflex Flexor reflex (withdrawal reflex) pain contraction Chapter 11 -Peripheral Nervous System Consists of all nervous tissue found outside the CNS Nerves (white), ganglia (gray), sensory receptors Two subdivisions - Sensory ( afferent ) and Motor ( ) efferent Motor further subdivided into _________ autonomic and _________ somatic Ganglion Nerve Ganglion Nerve Autonomic involuntary Visceral receptors Effector – smooth muscle Ganglion Cutaneous receptors Somatic voluntary Effector -skeletal muscle Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) conscious effort • functions without _________ visceral activities • controls _______ smoothmuscle, _______ cardiacmuscle, and _____glands • regulates ______ gangliaoutside CNS • efferent fibers typically lead to _______ Two Divisions Sympathetic • ____________– prepares body for fight or flight situations Parasympathetic – prepares body for resting and digesting activities • _______________ Sympathetic Anatomy Sympathetic fibers arise from lateral horns of Thoracolumbar T1 to L2 regions ________ Organ with only pre ganglionic Adrenal gland stimulation______________ Note the sympathetic chain ganglia Match Parasympathetic fibers arise from Craniosacral regions Four cranial nerves with parasympathetic fibers are … S2 – S4 Sacral region is _______ Organs with no parasympathetic? Which has more widespread influence? parasympathetic or sympathetic Parasympathetic Anatomy Somatic ____ one motor neuron _____ganglia no skeletal muscle effector _____________ Somatic Autonomic Autonomic _____motor neurons two ganglion synapse between neurons occurs within a _________ glands ________________________ smooth and cardiac muscle effectors ______, Neurotransmitters - ACh (cholinergic) and Norepinephrine (adrenergic) • Parasympathetic preganglionic fibers release ____;ACh postganglionic ____ ACh ACh norepinephrine • Sympathetic preganglionic fibers release ____; postganglionic ____________ ACh • Somatic release at neuromuscular junction ____ Comparison of Somatic Pathways to Autonomic Pathways Actions of Autonomic Neurotransmitters depend on receptor Cholinergic receptors - bind to acetlycholine • nicotinic - always excitatory • muscarinic – usually excitatory • atropine blocks (dilates pupil; salivary secretion) • pilocarpine activates parasympathetic effects Adrenergic Receptors - bind to norepinephrine • alpha - responses vary by effectors • beta – responses vary by effectors • beta 1 -increases heart rate; rennin secretion; fat metabolism • beta 2 - dilates blood vessels & bronchioles
