The Autonomic Nervous System o Back to topic index Activities Author Sources The Autonomic Nervous System controls internal organs, and is divided into two subsystems, the Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System. These two control the same organs except that they are the reverse of each other, needed for homeostasis (ensuring a stable internal environment to provide an organism with a certain degree of independence from variations in external environments, like maintaining a constant body temperature). The motor neurons of the Autonomic Nervous System are not connected to their targets but are instead connected to other motor neurons that link them to their targets. [©Martin and Ambrose 2001]

Learning Modules - Medical Gross Anatomy Introduction to Autonomics, Part 1 - Page 1 of 8 The nervous system coordinates all the functions of our bodies, from running, to digesting, to singing, to breathing. For the sake of discussion and study, the nervous system is divided functionally into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system , or the ANS. These systems are not separate, but rather different components of the nervous system as a whole. The somatic nervous system may be thought of as the conscious nervous system, responsible for functions of which we are aware. It transmits motor signals that cause our voluntary actions and some reflexive actions, and sensory signals about pain, temperature, touch, and position. In addition to these conscious functions, there is an entire set of functions that our nervous system regulates that we rarely, if ever, notice. These unnoticed functions are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and include all of our homeostatic mechanisms. The autonomic nervous system may be thought of as the unconscious nervous system, responsible primarily for maintaining homeostasis. Functions regulated by the autonomic nervous system include heart rate, respiration rate, blood vessel diameter, sweat gland secretion, digestion, etc. Fortunately, we do not have to consciously regulate all of our organs' functions; otherwise, a person could die merely from forgetting to breathe. This module will focus on the autonomic nervous system, including its functions and its structure. Many students get confused by the autonomic nervous system, perhaps because it does not follow the patterns of the somatic nervous system or because its structure varies from one part of the body to the next. It may help to remember that the autonomic nervous system innervates all the structures that help maintain homeostasis by whatever means necessary. If you take your time, and go through the autonomic nervous system as a whole until it makes sense, it will definitely pay off many times in the future.

Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Specialty Definition: Autonomic Nervous System Domain Definition Health The enteric, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nervous systems taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus and the solitary nucleus, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS; these and related central and sensory structures are sometimes (but not here) considered to be part of the autonomic nervous system itself.

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Autonomic Subject: Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction From To Post jose.cruz Dear Dr, I’m 37 yo man, BMI=22,2, usually healthy. In 2000 I was over weighted(BMI nearly 29)and had a High BP episode of 160/100.Did then, in Sept.2000, an EKG, echocardiogram, renal echo and detailed blood and urine testes (usual plus 24 h, thyroid, renal/suprarenal parameters, etc.) that came all fine. All years I do routine med checkup involving EKG, blood and urine tests that are all fine (All years normal EKG and sinus rhythm under 100 bpm –> 2002 values-> EKG normal/sinus/AFreq=VFreq=96bpm, blood and urine tests were Cholest=164, HDL=71, Triglicerids=48, Glucose=79, ). Now with correct weight my BP is controlled without meds – usually 130-140/80-85, only with very sporadic/spaced measures above (but always bellow 160/95), normally related to anxious states. Sometimes I have high pulse rate in rest (with sweatiness), but some anxious - The max HR was 128 bpm, but usually less in 110’s range that are short time long (max some minutes). When globally calm (physic+emotional+mental) my HR is, usually under 72 and at wake up, sometimes close to low 60’s.

93. The Limbic System part to play in our emotional life is the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is composed of two parts, which function primarily in http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/limbicsystem.html

The Emotional Nervous System Dr. C. George Boeree Emotion involves the entire nervous system, of course. But there are two parts of the nervous system that are especially significant: The limbic system and the autonomic nervous system. The Limbic System The limbic system is a complex set of structures that lies on both sides and underneath the thalamus, just under the cerebrum. It includes the hypothalamus, the hippocampus, the amygdala, and several other nearby areas. It appears to be primarily responsible for our emotional life, and has a lot to do with the formation of memories. In this drawing, you are looking at the brain cut in half, but with the brain stem intact. The part of the limbic system shown is that which is along the left side of the thalamus (hippocampus and amygdala) and just under the front of the thalamus (hypothalamus): Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is a small part of the brain located just below the thalamus on both sides of the third ventricle. (The ventricles are areas within the cerebrum that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and connect to the fluid in the spine.) It sits just inside the two tracts of the optic nerve, and just above (and intimately connected with) the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is one of the busiest parts of the brain, and is mainly concerned with

Autonomic Nervous System: 1. R.D. arrives in the emergency room feeling dizzy. He says he has difficulty standing up because he feels like fainting. Upon examination his blood pressure is found to be 85/60 mmHg. His blood pressure is too low. What type of drug should the physician prescribe to improve R.D.'s condition? A sympatholytic agent such as a adrenergic-blocking agent A sympathomimetic agent such as an adrenergic-agonist 2. Patient E.S. visits her physician and complains of problems with bladder control. She states that she frequently experiences urinating at inappropriate times. She seems to have lost control of bladder function. The physician determines that she sufffers from spasticity or involuntary contractions. What should be prescribed? A cholinergic blocking agent A sympathetic blocking agent 3. A friend of yours is involved in an accident. After the accident you notice that the pupils of his eyes are always constricted, his face flushed and there is never sweat on his brow, even on the hottest Houston summer days. What is the explanation for this condition. The sacral segments of his spinal cord were damaged The cervical or upper thoracic spinal cord was damaged The lumbar spinal cord was damaged This is incorrect. Factors that contribute to blood pressure include heart rate, cardiac output and resistance to blood flow (size of the blood vessels). All of these are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system results in an increase in all those contributing factors and, thus, increases blood pressure. A sympatholytic agent, such as a adrenergic-blocker, would prevent the sympathetic nervous system from exerting its actions on the heart and blood pressure.In fact, it could result in a further fall in blood pressure.

(Supported by National Institute for Child Health and Development) This project is aimed to evaluate heart rate variability in the human fetus with respect to acoustic stimulation. For this research, the information is obtained using devices developed by Dr. Mooney, that quantitative autonomic responses in the fetus. The devices are located in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Clinic in Mobile and produce small (1Mb) to large data-sets (1 Gb). Researchers in Little Rock communicate with Mobile several times per day with this project. The bandwidth available at this time is inadequate, when interruptions occur the file cannot be uploaded completely. As a result, often Fed-Ex has to be used to transfer the data sets back and forth between Little Rock and Mobile.
