Across
- 3. drug that blocks beta receptors and therefore prevents dilation of blood vessels and increased contraction of heart muscle
- 5. efferent autonomic neuron that conducts verve impulses from a ganglion to effectors such as cardiac or smooth muscle or glandular epithelial tissue
- 6. general term for any disease or disorder that that involves damage to peripheral nerves
- 7. method of learning to consciously control autonomic effectors my monitoring autonomic biological functions
- 9. skeletal muscle or group of muscles that receives motor axons from a given spinal nerve
- 11. of autonomic nervous system; ganglia are connected to the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord
- 12. changes produced by increased sympathetic impulses allowing body to deal with stress
- 14. skin surface areas supplied by a single spinal nerve
- 15. reflexive contraction of skeletal muscles
- 16. adrenergic receptor for norepinephrine
- 17. nerve that innervates the viscera
- 19. blinking in response to the cornea being touched
- 20. large, complex branch of each spinal nerve
Down
- 1. branch of spinal nerve that supplies somatic motor and sensory fivers to several smaller nerves
- 2. ganglia are connected to the brain-stem and the sacral segments of spinal cord; controls many autonomic effectors under normal conditions
- 4. sympathetic, paravertebral ganglion named for nearby blood vessel
- 8. motor branch of a spinal nerve, by which it is attached to the spinal cord
- 10. type of cholinergic receptor responding to muscarine, as well as acetylcholine
- 13. theory of efferent autonomic synaptic transmission that states that all or most postganglionic fivers release either norepinephrine or acetylcholine along with NANC transmitters or modulators and that each substance combines with postsynaptic and/or presynaptic receptors to produce regulatory effects
- 18. spinal nerve plexus located in the low back
