Peripheral Nervous System
What do you see?
CNS AND PNS
Characteristics of the P.N.S.
 Nerves that branch out from brain, spinal
column
 Not covered w/ meninges
 No CSF
 Divided into somatic and autonomic
branches
2 Divisions:
 Somatic Nervous System
 CRANIAL & SPINAL nerves
 Afferent Sensory nerves
 Efferent, VOLUNTARY Motor nerves
 Autonomic Nervous System
 Parasympathetic & Sympathetic Systems
 INVOLUNTARY motor nerves
 Maintains homeostasis

Cranial & Spinal
Nerves
Sensory Nerves
Motor Nerves
(send impulses to
the brain/spinal
cord)
(Send impulses
away from
brain/spinal cord)
Autonomic

Parasympathetic
Nervous System
(Rest & Digest)
Sympathetic
Nervous System
(Fight or Flight)
PNS: Cranial & Spinal Nerves
You’ve got a lot of nerve! (Cranial
Nerves, that is!)
 Twelve total
 Arise from brain, passing through various
foramina
 Specialized tasks – some sensory, motor, or
both
 Some with multiple branches
 Identified by Roman numeral and anatomical
name
Mnemonic time!
 “Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel Very Green
Vegetables… Aah, Heaven”
 …there are more out there… They help you
remember…
 Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal,
Abducens, Facial, Vestibulocochlear,
Glossopharangeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal
Functions!

Brother Says Barry Bonds Made More
 S = sensory
 M = motor
 B = both
Spinal nerves have their ups and
downs…
 Sensory and motor
PNS: Autonomic Nervous System
Can you explain each of these?
Autonomic Nervous System
 Regulates internal environment
 Controls glands, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle
 Homeostasis!
 Integrated with endocrine system
 Digestion, sexual functions, stress responses
 No conscious thought…
A nervous system divided…
Parasympathetic
 Cranial nerves, sacral
spinal nerves
 Promotes relaxation,
digestion
 “Post-stress”, P.S.
Sympathetic
 Thoracic, lumbar
spinal nerves
 Prepares body to
react to stress
 “Fight or Flight”
 “S for stress”
It’s all about connections…
 Somatic nerves:
 Full length of nerve connects spinal cord to body
component
 Cell body in gray matter… terminus contacts effector
 Autonomic nerves:
 Two neurons working together
 Preganglionic originates in brain/spinal cord
 Myelinated
 Synapses with postganglionic neuron (non-myelinated)
Form follows function…
 In parasympathetic nervous system…
 Preganglionic neurons long, terminate close to effector (short
postganglionic neuron)
 Allows specific, targeted control
 In sympathetic nervous system…
 Preganglionic neurons short, terminate close to spinal cord
(sympathetic ganglion chain)
 Postganglionic neurons long, travel from ganglion to effector
 Allows widespread activation of body systems
Double agents?
 Effectors receptive to both systems… how?
 Preganglionic nerves of Symp, Parasymp NS
secrete acetylcholine…
 Postganglionic nerves secrete different NT’s
 Parasympathetic NS  acetylcholine
 Sympathetic NS  norepinephrine
 Cause antagonistic effects in effector
Antagonistic effects…
