What’s the Report?

MANAGE TOPICS
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS
SYSTEM (INVOLUNTARY)
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this session, the student would be able to:
• Contrast the structure of the autonomic nervous system and the somatic motor system
• Name the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system and describe the anatomical and neurotransmitter
differences between them.
• Compare and contrast the general functions of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system.

• Cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons are between
the first thoracic (T1) and the second lumbar (L2) segments.
• The axons of the preganglionic neurons exit through ventral
roots.
• The sympathetic chain ganglia are connected to one another.
• Preganglionic fibers synapse with postganglionic fibers in the
sympathetic chain ganglia.
• The sympathetic chain ganglia form splanchnic nerves.
• Collateral ganglia are located nearer target organs.
• Postganglionic neurons in the collateral ganglia project to
target tissues in the abdominal and pelvic regions.
• Preganglionic cell bodies of the parasympathetic division are
located either within brainstem nuclei.
• Axons of the preganglionic neurons extend through spinal
nerves or cranial nerves to terminal ganglia.
• The axons of the postganglionic neurons extend a relatively
short distance from the terminal ganglia to the target organ.
• the thoracic and abdominal organs are supplied by
preganglionic neurons of the vagus nerve.
• Vagus nerve (branches to heart, lungs, liver, stomach)

MANAGE TOPICS
REPRESENTATIVE DISEASES
AND DISORDER: NERVOUS
SYSTEM
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this session, the student would be able to:
• Identify the diseases associated with nervous system

SUBTOPICS OF THE REPORT

1 2 3 4 5
• inflammation caused by a virus and less often by bacteria or other
agents.
• Symptoms include fever, coma, and convulsions
• Inflammation of meninges caused by viral or bacterial infection.
• Symptoms include headache and fever; severe cases can cause
paralysis, coma, or death
• Autoimmune condition; may be initiated by viral infection
inflammation in brain and spinal cord with demyelination and
sclerotic (hard) sheaths result in poor conduction of action
potentials.
• Symptoms include exaggerated reflexes, tremor, and speech defect.
• Caused by a lesion in basal nuclei; characterized by
muscular rigidity, resting tremor, general lack of movement,
and a slow shuffling gait.
• Mental deterioration or dementia; usually affects older
people; involved loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex.
• Symptoms include general intellectual deficiency, memory
loss, short attention span, moodiness, disorientation, and
irritability.
• Family of diseases characterized by skin lesions due to
herpes viruses in sensory ganglia; different viruses cause
oral lesions (cold sores), sexually transmitted diseases with
lesions on genitalia, or chickenpox in children (shingles in
adults).
• Viral infection of CNS; damage somatic motor neurons,
leaving muscles with innovation, and leads to paralysis and
atrophy.
• Autoimmune disorder affecting acetylcholine receptors;
makes the neuromuscular junction less functional; muscle
weakness and increased fatigue lead to paralysis.
