Human AP Chapter 14

operates via reflex arcs and without conscious control
continuous flow of sensory and motor signals

Divide into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

When structures receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation

raises thoracolumbar alertness and metabolic activity (Fight or Flight)

Craniosacral division
conserves restores energy 
(Rest and Digest)

Cell body in CNS
Extends to ganglion and synapses w/ 2nd neuron
always releases Ach

Entire cell outside CNS
Synapses w/ effector
-releases Ach or Ne

contains cell bodies of post ganglionic neurons

Dominates over parasympathetic division during stress

exercise, excitement emergency embarrassment 
heart rate goes up, bp goes up
blood flow redirects into certain organs

preganglionic neruons pass through chain ganglia

Ach is the neurotransmitter
all preganglionic and some postganglionic neurons

Found within post ganglionic neurons and effector cells

norepinepherin are neurotransmitters
Most postganglionic neuron

Found within effector cells 
two types a and b

a1 and b1

A2 and B2
