1 Efferent Division: Autonomic and Somatic Motor Control
Chapter 11 Efferent Division: Autonomic and Somatic Motor Control

2 Somatic motor division
About this Chapter Autonomic division Autonomic reflexes Antagonistic controls Control of cardiac and smooth muscle, and glands in homeostasis Agonists and antagonists in research and medicine Somatic motor division CNS control of skeletal muscles through neuromuscular junctions

3 Role of the Autonomic Division in Homeostasis
Antagonistic branches Parasympathetic “Rest and digest” Restore body function Sympathetic “Fight or flight” Energetic action

4 Role of the Autonomic Division in Homeostasis
Figure 11-1

5 Coordination of homeostatic responses
The Hypothalamus, Pons, and Medulla Initiate Autonomic, Endocrine, and Behavioral Responses Coordination of homeostatic responses Autonomic Endocrine Behavioral Figure 11-2

6 Autonomic Control Centers in the Brain
Hypothalamus Water balance, temperature, and hunger Pons Respiration Medulla Cardiac Vomiting Swallowing Temperature control Water balance Eating behavior Hypothalamus Pons Urinary bladder control Medulla Secondary respiratory center Blood pressure control Respiratory center Figure 11-3

7 Autonomic Pathways Figure 11-4

8 Antagonistic Control of the Autonomic Division
Most internal organs are under antagonistic control One autonomic branch is excitatory and the other branch is inhibitory Example: Effector organ: heart Parasympathetic response: slows rate Sympathetic response: increases rate and force of contraction

9 Autonomic Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Pathways
Hypothalamus, Reticular formation Ganglion Pons Medulla Vagus nerve Spinal cord Sympathetic chain Pelvic nerves KEY Parasympathetic Sympathetic Figure 11-5

Sympathetic versus parasympathetic pathways Spinal cord exit Neurotransmitters Receptors The major parasympathetic tract is the vagus nerve Medulla Vagus nerve Right lung Left lung Liver Spleen Stomach Pancreas Proximal two-thirds of colon Entire small intestine Figure 11-6

Autonomic Targets Autonomic pathways control: Smooth muscle Cardiac muscle Exocrine glands (select) Endocrine glands (select) Lymphoid tissue Adipose tissue

14 Autonomic Neuron Structure
Neuroeffector junction Postganglionic axon Varicosities Axon Neurotransmitter synthesis

15 Varicosities in Autonomic Neurons
Axon of postganglionic autonomic neuron Vesicle containing neurotransmitter Mitochondrion Varicosity Figure 11-8 Varicosities Smooth muscle cells Figure 11-8

16 Norepinephrine Release at a Varicosity of a Sympathetic Neuron
1 Action potential arrives at the varicosity. 2 Depolarization opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Axon varicosity MAO Tyrosine 3 Ca2+ entry triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles. 8 Axon 7 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel NE 1 Action potential 4 NE binds to adrenergic receptor on target. Exocytosis 3 Active transport 5 Ca2+ 2 Receptor activation ceases when NE diffuses away from the synapse. 6 NE 5 Diffuses away 4 Blood vessel G 6 NE is removed from the synapse. Response Adrenergic receptor Target cell 7 NE can be taken back into synaptic vesicles for re-release. 8 NE is metabolized by monoamine oxidase (MAO). Figure 11-9, steps 1–8

17 Sympathetic Branch: Stimulation
Pupil dilation Salivation Heart beat and volume Blood vessel and bronchiole dilation Fat breakdown Ejaculation

18 Sympathetic Branch: Inhibition
