Understanding the Autonomic Nervous System: Visceral Control and Regulation

Explore the intricate network of the autonomic nervous system, responsible for regulating visceral functions involuntarily. Learn about its components, organization, and the intricate interplay of afferent and efferent neurons.

Presentation Transcript

  1. SYMPATHATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM • Dr Iram Tassaduq

  2. AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM The portions of the CENTRAL & PERIPHERAL nervous system that are concerned primarily with the regulation & control of visceral functions are termed collectively the visceral, vegetative, or autonomic nervous system

  3. AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM • Innervate organs not usually under voluntary control. • Effectors include cardiac and smooth muscles and glands. • Effectors are part of visceral organs and blood vessels.

  4. ORGANIZATION OF ANS • AFFERENT NEURONS • EFFERENT NEURONS

  5. SYMPATHETIC TRUNKS • Two ganglionated nerve trunks - paravertebral ganglia • Extend the whole length of vertebral column from the cranial base to the coccyx. • Joined to spinal nerves by ramicommunicantes.

  6. SYMPATHETIC PART OF ANS • Larger part • Widely distributed • Prepares body for emergency & stress – (fight, fright & flight)

  7. COMPOSITION Consists of Efferents Afferents Ganglia – paravertebral & prevertebral Plexuses

  8. Communicating branches arising from thoracic and first two lumbar spinal nerves going to sympathetic ganglion

  9. EFFERENTS • Cell bodies of sympathetic neurons are located in grey matter of spinal cord. • Myelinated axons leave through anterior nerve root and than pass via white ramicommunicantes to paravertebral ganglia

  10. EFFERENT FIBERS • Terminate in the ganglion • Travel upward to the cervical region • Pass through ganglion without synapsing

  11. AFFERENTS • The afferent myelinated nerve fibers travel from the viscera through the sympathetic ganglia without synapsing. • They reach their cell bodies in the posterior root ganglion of the corresponding spinal nerve
