Primitive functions, such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, metabolism, and respiratory airflow, are regulated by

The ____ system quietly manages a myriad of unconscious processes responsible for the body's homeostasis

This function is among the most ___ of functions for animals to maintain healthy conditions for life

Many drug therapies are based on the ___ alteration of autonomic functions

In autonomic motor pathways, the nerve signal must travel along ___ neurons to reach a target cell

The first neuron emerges from the CNS and synapses with a second neuron in a ___ outside the CNS

The second neuron’s axons extend to the ____ from the ganglion

The first neurons are called ____ and are myelinated

The second neurons are called ____ and are unmyelinated

Also known as the ____ division, the parasympathetic nervous system. Has axons exiting the CNS at the medulla oblongata

Action potentials travel down the preganglionic nerve axons of the ____ , towards the effector organs

These impulses arrive at the cardiac plexus where secretion of acetylcholine creates an action potential in the ____ neuron

The impulse arrives relatively quickly at the heart, as parasympathetic postganglionic axons are ____ compared sympathetic postganglionic axons

Action potentials arriving at the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes of the heart cause ___ to be released

This parasympathetic neurotransmitter causes a ___ in heart rate and contractility

Also known as the ___ division, the sympathetic nervous system exits the CNS via the spinal nerves from T1-L2

Action potentials travel along the preganglionic axons and enter the ___

Axons exiting the sympathetic chain ganglia take one of three routes: the spinal nerves route, the sympathetic nerve route, or the ___ nerve route

Arriving at target cells, ____ axons release acetylcholine or norepinephrine into the synaptic cleft

The effect of norepinephrine binding to ___ receptors stimulates cardiac muscle cells

Which division of the nervous system has two neurons connecting the CNS to an effector?

When body temperature increases, thermoreceptors are stimulated and send nerve signals to the CNS. The CNS sends motor signals to sweat glands, which attempt to reduce body temperature. This is an example of a ____ reflex

A malfunctioning visceral reflex can be the cause of a(n) ____ ,which can result in disorder and/or disease

The ___ division of the ANS increases alertness. The ___ division has a calming effect on the body

Where are the cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic axons located in the spinal cord?

In the ___ division of the ANS, the preganglionic axons are short, while in the ___ division, the preganglionic axons are relatively long
