37. 4.C. NEURONAL REGULATION: Sympathetic Innervation: Most innervations end at neurons in the GI plexi. Sympathetic Innervation: - In general it inhibits GI function; - Exception: Sphincter muscles are activated by sympathetic innervation; - Sympathetic fibers ALSO carry sensory information to CNS. From: Dr. Cukierman - FHB

38. 4.C. NEURONAL REGULATION: Parasympathetic Innervation: Most innervations end at neurons in the GI plexi. Parasympathetic Innervation: - In general it enhances GI function; - Synapses between pre- and post-ganglionic fibers are nicotinic; - Parasympathetic fibers ALSO carry sensory information to CNS. From: Dr. Cukierman - FHB

41. Handouts If I give them the Power Point Slides, then The Audience Can Take Notes As they Go –Audience Must Pay Attention –Audience May Miss Key Points –Copyright Issues –If Recorded, Will need to provide “Value-added” in talk If I give the Audience a More Detailed Handout, then The Audience Can Pay More Attention to What I am Presenting. – Audience Doesn’t need to Pay attention to get the key points – Key Points are Never Missed – Will need to provide “Value- added” in talk
