The document provides information about the autonomic nervous system (ANS). It describes the ANS as having two main divisions - the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic system prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses, while the parasympathetic system allows for "rest and digest" functions. Key differences between the two divisions are described, including their origins in the spinal cord/brain and targets in the body. The pathways of preganglionic and postganglionic neurons, as well as autonomic ganglia, are outlined. Neurotransmitters and receptors of each division are also detailed.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and thus influences the function of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. Spinal nerves
• There are 31 pairs of
spinal nerves
– 8 cervical
– 12 thoracic
– 5 lumbar
– 5 sacral
– 1 coccygeal
The human spinal column is made
up of 33 bones.
• 7 - cervical region
• 12 - thoracic region
• 5 - lumbar region
• 5 - sacral region
• 4 - coccygeal region
5. Peripheral Nervous System
• Most of the nerves of the peripheral nervous system
are composed of sensory nerve fibres conveying
afferent impulses from sensory end organs to the
brain and motor nerve fibres conveying efferent
impulses from the brain through the spinal cord to
the effector organs.

6. Somatic Nervous System
• The somatic nervous system (SNS or voluntary nervous
system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system.
• The somatic nervous system includes both sensory
(afferent nerves) and motor (efferent nerves) neurons.
• Sensory neurons convey input
from receptors for somatic
senses (tactile, thermal, pain,
and proprioceptive sensations)
and from receptors for the
special senses (sight, hearing,
taste, smell, and equilibrium)
7. Autonomic Nervous System
• The autonomic nervous system is involved in a
complex of reflex activities, which depend on
sensory input to the brain or spinal cord, and
on motor output.
• The majority of the organs of the body are
supplied by both sympathetic and
parasympathetic nerves which have opposite
effects that are finely balanced to ensure the
optimum functioning of the organ.
8. Autonomic Nervous System
• The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a complex set
of neurons that mediate internal homeostasis
without conscious intervention or voluntary control.
• The ANS maintains blood pressure, regulates the rate
of breathing, influences digestion, urination, and
modulates sexual arousal.
• There are two main branches to the ANS – the
sympathetic nervous system and the
parasympathetic nervous system.
The effects of autonomic control are rapid and essential for homeostasis
9. Sympathetic nervous system
• Sympathetic nervous system otherwise called as
thoracolumbar system.
• Sympathetic stimulation prepares the body to deal
with exciting and stressful situations, e.g.
strengthening its defences in danger. sympathetic
stimulation mobilises the body for 'fight or flight'.
• Neurones convey impulses from their origin in the
hypothalamus, reticular formation and medulla
oblongata to effector organs and tissues. The first
neurone has its cell body in the brain and its fibre
extends into the spinal cord.
10. Sympathetic nervous system
• Structure of the Sympathetic Division
– Pathway from Spinal Cord to Sympathetic Trunk Ganglia
– Organization of Sympathetic Trunk Ganglia
– Pathways from Sympathetic Trunk Ganglia to Visceral
Effectors
11. Structure of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
Trachea and bronchi: Bronchodilation
Liver: Glycogen glucose conversion increased
Iris muscle: Pupil dilated
Blood vessels in heart : Vasoconstriction
Heart: Rate and force of contraction
increased
Salivary glands: Secretion inhibited
Stomach: Peristalsis reduced
Sphincters closed
Intestines: Peristalsis and tone decreased
Vasoconstriction
Kidney: Urine secretion decreased
Bladder: Smooth muscle wall relaxed
Sphincter closed
Sex organs: Generally Vasoconstriction
12. Parasympathetic nervous system
• Parasympathetic nervous system otherwise called as
craniosacral outflow.
• Parasympathetic stimulation has a tendency to slow
down body processes except digestion and
absorption of food and the functions of the
genitourinary systems. Its general effect is that of a
'peace maker' allowing restoration processes to occur
quietly and peacefully.
• Cell bodies of parasympathetic preganglionic neurons
are found in nuclei in the brain stem.
13. Parasympathetic nervous system
• Structure of the Parasympathetic Division
– The cranial parasympathetic outflow consists of
preganglionic axons that extend from the brain stem in four
cranial nerves. The cranial outflow has four pairs of ganglia
and the ganglia associated with the vagus (X) nerve.
– The sacral parasympathetic outflow consists of
preganglionic axons in anterior roots of the second through
fourth sacral spinal nerves.
14. Structure of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
Trachea and bronchi: Bronchoconstriction
Liver: Blood vessels dilated
Secretion of bile increased
Iris muscle: Pupil constricted
Heart: Rate and force of contraction
decreased
Salivary glands: Secretion increased
Stomach: Secretion of gastric juice and
peristalsis increased
Intestines: Digestion and absorption
increased
Kidney: Urine secretion increased
Bladder: Muscle of wall contracted
Sphincters relaxed
Sex organs: Male: erection;
Female: variable
17. Autonomic Motor Pathways
• Each division of the ANS has two motor neurons
(preganglionic and postganglionic neuron).
• Preganglionic Neurons
– In the sympathetic division (thoracolumbar division/
thoracolumbar outflow), the preganglionic neurons have
their cell bodies in the lateral horns of the gray matter in
the 12 thoracic segments and the first two (and sometimes
three) lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
– In the parasympathetic division (craniosacral division/
craniosacral outflow), the preganglionic neurons have their
cell bodies in in the nuclei of four cranial nerves in the brain
stem (III, VII, IX, and X) and in the lateral gray matter of the
second through fourth sacral segments of the spinal cord.
18. Autonomic Motor Pathways
Preganglionic Neurons
• Autonomic Ganglia
– There are two major groups of autonomic ganglia
• sympathetic ganglia
• parasympathetic ganglia
• Sympathetic Ganglia:
– The sympathetic ganglia are the sites of synapses between
sympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic neurons.
– There are two major types of sympathetic ganglia:
• sympathetic trunk ganglia (also called vertebral chain
ganglia or paravertebral ganglia)
• prevertebral ganglia (collateral)- Five types of
prevertebral ganglia are celiac ganglion, superior
mesenteric ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglion,
aorticorenal ganglion and renal ganglion.
19. Autonomic Motor Pathways
Preganglionic Neurons
• Autonomic Ganglia
– There are two major groups of autonomic ganglia
• sympathetic ganglia
• parasympathetic ganglia
• parasympathetic ganglia:
– Preganglionic axons of the parasympathetic division
synapse with postganglionic neurons in terminal
(intramural) ganglia. They are the ciliary ganglion,
pterygopalatine ganglion, submandibular ganglion, and otic
ganglion
20. Autonomic Motor Pathways
Postganglionic Neurons
• Once axons of sympathetic preganglionic
neurons pass to sympathetic trunk ganglia,
they may connect with postganglionic
neurons.
• A single sympathetic preganglionic fiber has
many axon collaterals (branches) and may
synapse with 20 or more postganglionic
neurons.
21. Autonomic Motor Pathways
Postganglionic Neurons
• Axons of preganglionic neurons of the
parasympathetic division pass to terminal
ganglia near or within a visceral effector. In the
ganglion, the presynaptic neuron usually
synapses with only four or five postsynaptic
neurons, all of which supply a single visceral
effector, allowing parasympathetic responses
to be localized to a single effector.
25. Comparison of Somatic and Autonomic
Motor Neurons
Somatic Autonomic
Voluntary effectors: striated
muscles
Involuntary effectors: smooth &
cardiac muscles, glands
single motor neuron from
spinal cord to target organ
usually 2 neurons with synapse
(ganglion) between from spinal
cord to target organ
Neurotransmitter always
stimulatory
Neurotransmitter stimulatory or
inhibitory
ACh released at synapse ACh and NE released at synapses
No firing at rest Baseline firing – speeds up when
Stimulated
Effector at rest is flaccid Effector at rest has intrinsic tone
