The Autonomic Nervous System
Questions and Correct Answers the
Latest Update
somatic nervous system
✓ the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal
muscles
autonomic nervous system
✓ A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system. Controls involuntary activity of
visceral muscles and internal organs and glands.
autonomic sensory neurons
✓ The main input to the ANS comes from here
interoceptors
✓ sensory receptors located in blood vessels, visceral organs,muscles and monitor
changes in the internal environment.
autonomic motor neurons
✓ regulate visceral activities by either increasing (exciting) or decreasing (inhibiting)
ongoing activities in their effector tissues (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and
glands)

somatic motor neuron pathway
✓ One-neuron pathway; myelinated motor neurons extend from central nervous
system synapse directly to effector (skeletal muscle). ACh
Autonomic ganglion
✓ Site of the synapse between the axon of the preganglionic neuron and the cell body
of the postganglionic neuron
sympathetic nervous system
✓ 'Fight or flight' division of the autonomic nervous system that increases alertness and
metabolic activities in order to prepare the body for emergency situations.
Parasympathetic nervous system
✓ 'Rest and digest' division of the autonomic nervous system that conserves and
restores the body's energy during times of rest and digesting of food.
dual innervation
✓ - when organs are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic (most
organs)
Preganglionic neuron
✓ its cell body is in the brain or spinal cord, and its axon exits the CNS as part of a
cranial or spinal nerve.
