Compare and contrast the SOMATIC nervous system and AUTONOMIC nervous system |
Somatic: - Effector is skeletal muscle. - Controls all concious and unconcious movements of skeletal muscle. -Skeletal muscle contacts. - One neuron extends from the CNS to skeletal muscle. - Neuron cell bodies are in motor nuclei of the cranial nerves and in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. - One synapse - Myelinated - ACh neurotransmitter - Receptor molecules for ACh are nicotinic Autonomic: - Effector is glands, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle. - Controls unconscious regulation - Target tissues are stimulated or inhibited - Two neurons, preganglionic neuron to autonomic ganglion and postganglionic to target tissue. - Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are in autonomic nuclei of the cranial nerves and lateral part of the spinal cord. Postganglionic neuron cell bodies are in autonomic ganglia. - Two synapses (autonomic ganglia and target tissue) - Preganglionic axons are myelinated and postganglionic axons are unmyelinated. - ACh neurotransmitter in preganglionic neurons and ACh & NE in postganglionic neurons. - In autonomic ganglia, receptor molecules for ACh arw nicotinic, and in target tissues are muscarinic (either NE or alpha, beta adrenergic. |
