Single-Unit Smooth Muscle Hollow organs of digestive, reproductive, urinary systems and small blood vessels Form functional syncytia Syncytium is a group of interconnected cells When an action potential develops in one cell, it quickly spreads to other cells. Gap junctions Cells in syncyticium contract as single, coordinated unit 12. Single-Unit Smooth Muscle Myogenic Self-excitable muscle cells Unable to contract Does not require nervous stimulation Automatic shifts in ion concentrations in the ECF and ICF cause spontaneous depolarizations to threshold potential. pacemaker potentials slow-wave potentials 13.

Single-Unit Smooth Muscle Rate and strength of contraction influenced by ANS Hormones Other factors All of these influences alter the level of calcium ions in the cells’ cytosol. 17. Fig. 8-25, p. 234 18. Gradations of Contraction Differs from skeletal muscle contraction. Depends on level of Ca2+ in cytosol. Many cells have enough calcium in the cytosol to maintain tone (low level of tension) in the absence of action potentials. 19.

Autonomic Nervous System Innervates Cardiac muscle Smooth muscle Exocrine glands Endocrine glands ANS neurotransmitters Acetylcholine Norepinephrine Autonomic nerve pathway has two neurons Preganglionic fiber Postganglionic fiber 21. Autonomic Nervous System Subdivisions are sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems Sympathetic nerve fibers originate from the thoracic and lumbar levels of the spinal cord Parasympathetic nerve fibers originate from the cranial and sacral levels of the CNS 22. ANS - Function Involuntary responses of visceral organs Visceral organs receive dual innervation Input from both subdivisions of the ANS. Antagonism Usually both subdivisions are active in controlling the activity of an internal organ. Sympathetic or parasympathetic tone or activity 23. Exceptions Most innervated blood vessels (arterioles and veins) are innervated only by sympathetic fibers. Most sweat glands are innervated only by sympathetic nerves. Adrenal medulla – sympathetic 24. Fig. 7-3, p. 188 25.

Sympathetic Responses pupils of the eye dilate sweating is promoted heart rate increases bronchioles dilate motility for digestion is inhibited liver: conversion of glycogen into glucose urination is inhibited Preparation for emergency or stressful situations. “Flight, fight or fright” 35. Sympathetic Effects Increases Cardiac output Pulmonary ventilation Blood flow to skeletal muscle Available energy Decreases Function of non-emergency systems Sympathetic system responds as a whole 36. Parasympathetic Responses Usually the opposite (e.g., decreased heart rate) or None (no activity of glucose production from the liver) Dominant during quiet, relaxed times “Rest and Digest” or “Feed and Breed” 37. Parasympathetic Effects Housekeeping Obtain nutrients and energy from food promote secretions and mobility of digestive tract Eliminate wastes Promotes urination and defecation _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Parasympathetic stimulation occurs “as needed” 38.
