Chapter 7:
Reflexes &
Peripheral Nervous System
Reflexes

automatic responses to specific stimuli

somatic
−

pull hand away from hot object
autonomic
−
pupil dilation
Reflexes

occur over neural pathways called reflex arcs

involve CNS?

involve PNS?
Reflexes

two-neuron reflex arc
−

patellar or knee-jerk
three-neuron reflex arc
−
flexor or withdrawal reflex
−
delay at synapse
Reflexes
Reflexes

many only involve spinal cord

some involve brain

−
pupil dilation
−
those integrating many different types of information
testing evaluates condition of NS
Peripheral Nervous System

nerves and ganglia outside CNS

nerve = bundle of neuron fibers outside CNS
Structure of a Nerve


wrapped in connective tissue
like muscle
endoneurium
−

perineurium
−

surrounds each fiber or
process
surrounds one fascicle
epineurium
−
surrounds groups of fascicles
Cranial Nerves

primarily serve head and neck

numbered in order

Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel very good velvet,
ah.
Spinal Nerves

split into dorsal and ventral rami (ramus = branch)
−
dorsal: posterior sensory and motor
−
ventral


intercostal nerves: anterior trunk sensory and motor
cervical and lumbar nerves: form plexuses
Nerve Plexuses

network of nerves

motor and sensory

4 plexuses
−
cervical
−
brachial
−
lumbar
−
sacral
Nerve Plexuses
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

division of PNS

motor

controls involuntary

−
cardiac muscle
−
smooth muscle
−
glands
contributes greatly to stable
internal environment
Somatic vs. Autonomic

differ in:
−
effector organs
−
neurotransmitters
−
motor pathways


somatic: one motor neuron
autonomic: two motor neurons
Somatic vs. Autonomic
Somatic vs. Autonomic
ANS

two arms with opposing effects
−
sympathetic: mobilizes body during fear, rage, etc.
−
parasympathetic: calms down
Parasympathetic Anatomy

cranial nerves
−

sacral nerves
−

III, VII, IX, and X (vagus)
pelvic splanchnic nerves
terminal ganglion
−
synapse with 2nd motor neuron
−
close to organ
Sympathetic Anatomy

thoracolumbar division
−


ramus communicans - communicating branch
sympathetic chain
−

thoracic & lumbar nerves
lies along sides of vertebral column
ganglia: cluster of cell bodies
−
−
sympathetic chain
collateral
Sympathetic Pathways


sympathetic chain ganglion
−
at same level
−
at different level – moves along chain
−
to skin
collateral ganglion anterior to vertebral column
−
splanchnic
−
to viscera
Sympathetic Pathways
Autonomic Functions

most organs receive fibers from both

antagonistic effects
Autonomic Functions
postganglionic axons release different
neurotransmitters
−
parasympathetic fibers are cholinergic

−
acetylcholine
sympathetic fibers are adrenergic

norepinephrine-precursor to epinephrine (adrenaline)
Sympathetic Division

fight or flight

help cope with stressor
−
increase in heart rate
−
increase in bp
−
increase in blood glucose

hormones destroyed by liver

instant calm down?
Parasympathetic

resting and digesting

decreases demands on cardiovascular system
−
bp and heart rate at normal
−
skin is warm
−
pupils constricted
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
systems are in balance
