What division of the peripheral nervous system does the autonomic nervous system belong?
sensory
Does the the autonomic nervous system typically have thin fibers with little or no myelination?
yes.
Which division of the autonomic nervous system secretes acetylcholine via cholinergic nerve fibers?
Parasympathetic nervous system .
Which division of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers?
The parasympathetic nervous system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers
Which division of the autonomic nervous system is involved in secreting norepinephrine via adrenergic nerve fibers?
Sympathetic nervous system .
What is the difference between Peripheral and Central Nervous system?
CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
What are the two subdivisions of the motor subdivision of the peripheral nervous system?
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
What way is the somatic and autonomic nervous systems are similar?
I came on this to figure it out!
Nerve fibers in what division of the autonomic nervous system arise from the brainstem and the sacral region of the spinal cord?
Brain
The two anatomical divisions of the nervous system are the?
Central and Peripheral nervous system.. further divided into sensory, motor and autonomic(sympathetic and parasympathetic)
How is stimuli recieved?
Through the nerve fibers of the affrent (sensory) division of the Peripheral nervous system.
What nervous system innervates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands?
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
