I. INTRODUCTION TO NEUROSCIENCE

1 INTRODUCTION TO NEUROSCIENCETHE NERVOUS SYSTEM (NS) CONSISTS OF Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)o Divided into Autonomic and Somatic Nervous Autonomic subdivided into Sympathetic (SNS) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS).o Somatic contains Cranial Nerves (except the Optic Nerve - CN II, which is a continuation of theBrain), and all 31 pairs of Spinal Nerves. Central Nervous System (CNS)o Contains Brain and Spinal NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS)2 -VS- SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEMS The autonomic system generally acts slower. The last inter-neuronal synapse of a somatic nerve is in the CNS (in the spinal column), while the lastinter-neuronal synapse of an autonomic nerve is in a peripheral AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEMC onsists of Sensory and Motor Neurons and their Axons that communicate the CNS with internal organs,muscles and Reflex: Autonomic efferent fibers can be initiated in response to different types of afferentsignals: Visceral Afferent Fibers: Transmission of visceral pressure, stretch, and Cell bodies of these sensory neurons are located in the sensory ganglia of CN VII, IX, and Enteroreceptors are s

o The White Communicating Ramus goes to the Paravertebral Ganglia, on either side of the spinal cord. o PREGANGLIONIC NERVE: Once in the Paravertebral Chain, it can do one of four things: It Prevertebral Ganglia: The prevertebral ganglia receive preganglionics from the Thoracic Splanchnic Nerves. There are four major prevertebral ganglia:
