VERIFIED ANSWERS
⩥ what are ganglia? Answer: - neuron cell bodies in PNS --> divided
into 2 subregions
---> somatic & visceral
⩥ somatic body region (superficial/outer). Answer: - a section of the
PNS that includes the skin & muscles (smooth, skeletal, cardiac) on the
surface of our bodies
⩥ what are the 2 subregions of the somatic body region
(superficial/outer). Answer: - somatic sensory (afferent) & somatic
motor (efferent)
⩥ somatic body region (superficial/outer) houses autonomic nervous
system which.... Answer: - involuntary motor control branching into
parasympathetic nervous system
⩥ somatic sensory (afferent). Answer: - sensations perceived by somatic
receptors throughout the outer tube of body & send it to CNS via
afferent nerves
- sensations
, - proprioceptive senses
- somatic sensory neurons
⩥ somatic sensory (afferent) sensations. Answer: - touch
- pain
- vibration
- pressure
- temp
⩥ proprioceptive senses. Answer: - body sensation of position &
movement of overall body
- most joints have proprioceptors that perceive stretching/flexion to
know how our body is moving/positioned
- dont confuse w motor nerves; create mvmnt while proprioceptors
(sensory) perceive the mvmnt created
⩥ somatic sensory neurons. Answer: - 3 motors neurons from peripheral
surface to somatosensory cortex
