Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Composed of:
1. Autonomic nervous system2. Somatic Nervous System
3
Peripheral Nervous System
4
Composed of:
1. Sympathetic Nervous System2. Parasympathetic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
5
Autonomic Nerve Pathway
Two-neuron chain
6
Sympathetic Nerve Pathway
Sympathetic nerve fibers originate in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord
Short preganglionic fibers
7
Parasympathetic preganglionic fibers arise from the cranial (brain) and sacral (lower spinal cord) areas of the CNS
Long preganglionic fibers
Parasympathetic Nerve Pathway
8
Neurotransmitters of the ANS
All preganglionic fibers release Ach
Sympathetic postganglionic fibers release NE/E mainly
Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release Ach
9
Postganglionic nerve terminals
10
Dual innervation of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems generally exert opposite effects in a particular organ
Both systems increase the activity of some organs and reduce the activity of others.
Usually both systems are partially active; sympathetic or parasympathetic tone or tonic activity, but activity of one division can dominate the other
11
Dual innervation of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
12
Advantage of dual autonomic innervation
Enables precise control over an organ’s activity
13
Sympathetic dominance
Fight-or-flight responsein emergency or stressful situations, such as a physical threat from the outside
o Heart: beats more rapidly and more forcefully, o Blood pressure is elevated by generalized constriction of the blood
vessels, o Respiratory airways open wide to permit maximal air flow, o Glycogen (stored sugar) and fat stores are broken down to release extra
fuel into the blood, o Blood vessels supplying skeletal muscles dilate (open more widely).
Providing increased flow of oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to the skeletal muscles in anticipation of strenuous physical activity.
o The pupils dilate and the eyes adjust for far vision, letting the person visually assess the entire threatening scene.
o Sweating is promoted in anticipation of excess heat production by the physical exertion.
Inhibition of digestive and urinary activities; not essential in meeting the threat
14
Parasympathetic dominance
Rest-and-digestin quiet, relaxed situations
15
The Adrenal Medulla
Cortex
Medulla
Medulla secretes:Epinephrine (mainly) & Norepinephrine
16
The Adrenal Medulla
o Part of the sympathetic nervous system
o Receives preganglionic fibers
o Does not have postganglionic fibers
o Instead, releases E & NE into the blood
17
Receptor types for autonomic neurotransmitters
Specific neurotransmitter action results from specificity of receptors
2 types of receptors in ANS:o Cholinergico Adrenergic
18
Cholinergic Receptors
Nicotinic receptors: found on the postganglionic cell bodies in all autonomic gangliaBind ACh
Muscarinic receptors: found on effector cell membranes (smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands). Bind ACh
19
Adrenergic Receptors
Found on effector cell membranes
1. alpha (α):o α1 NE > E o α2
2. beta (β)o β1 NE = Eo Β2 E > NE
20
Adrenergic Receptors
o α1 Excitatory; e.g., arteriolar constrictiono α2 Inhibitory; e.g., GI smooth muscleo β1 Excitatory; e.g., increased rate and force of
cardiac contractiono β2 Inhibitory; e.g., arteriolar & bronchiolar (dilation)
21
Autonomic agonists and antagonists AgonistBinds with a neurotransmitter’s receptor and elicits an effect that mimics that of the neurotransmitter.
AntagonistBinds with a neurotransmitter’s receptor and blocks the neurotransmitter’s response.
22
Atropine
o Blocks the effect of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors but does not affect nicotinic receptors
o Suppresses salivary and bronchial secretions before surgery, to reduce the risk of a patient inhaling these secretions into the lungs
Autonomic agonists and antagonists
23
Salbutamol
o Selectively activates β 2 adrenergic receptors at low doses
o Dilate the bronchioles in the treatment of asthma without undesirably stimulating the heart
Autonomic agonists and antagonists

Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic

Somatic Nervous System
26
Somatic Nervous System
27
Somatic Nervous System
Composed of the axons of the motor neurons which innervate skeletal muscles
Motor neurons: The cell bodies are within the spinal cord. (except motor
neurons supplying muscles in the head, they are in the brain stem)
Release acetylcholine (ACh) Can only stimulate skeletal muscles (no inhibition)
28
Motor neurons The dendrites and cell bodies are influenced by
many converging presynaptic inputs, both excitatory (EPSP) and inhibitory (IPSP).
The level of activity in a motor neuron and its subsequent output to the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates depend on the relative balance of EPSPs and IPSPs
Motor neurons are considered the final common pathway, because the only way any other parts of the nervous system can influence skeletal muscle activity is by acting on these motor neurons.
29
Somatic Nervous System
The somatic system is under voluntary control
However, much of the skeletal muscle activity involving posture, balance, and
stereotypical movements is subconsciously controlled
30
Neuromuscular junction (NMJ)
Axon of motor neuron
Synaptic vesicles
Terminal button
motor end plate
Axon of motor neuron
Neuromuscular junction
31
Nerve and muscle cells do not actually come into direct contact at a neuromuscular junction
The space, or cleft, between these two structures is too large to permit electrical transmission of an impulse between them
The chemical messenger is acetylcholine (ACh.)
