P y the end of this lecture the students will be able
to:
P dentify the general organization of the autonomic
nervous system. The basic characteristics of the
sympathetic and parasympathetic function.
P Determine the unit structure and unit function of
nervous system.
P Compare the functions of the ANS with the somatic
nervous system.
P dentify the types and functions of autonomic
ganglia
P Describe the functions of the sympathetic nervous
system in different parts of the body.
s oont.
P Describe the functions of the parasympathetic
nervous system in different parts of the body.
P Describe the effect of mass stimulation of the
sympathetic nervous system.
P Recognize the type of chemical transmitters ,
their formation and site of release.
P dentify chemical transmission at autonomic
junctions
P Describe different autonomic receptors
according to their types and location.
P Describe the higher control of the A.N.S
Autonomio Nervous 3ystem
P ody functions are either voluntary or
involuntary.
P The voluntary functions are controlled by
a part of the nervous system called the
somatic nervous system.
P The autonomic nervous system is a part
of the nervous system that controls the
involuntary functions

&nit lunotion of Nervous 3ystem
Reflex action:
Definition: it is unavoidable, inborn,
beneficial response to a stimulus
Components of reflex action:
Reflex Arc:
Receptor Afferent neuron center
efferent neuron effector organ
#eoeptor
P A speciaIized structure sensitive to
changes inside or outside the body
P It converts different forms of
energy into nerve impuIses
Afferent nerve
It carries nerve impuIses from receptor to the CNS
enter
P t is present inside the CNS
fferent neuron
P Carries the impulses from center to the
effector organ
