Exercise 20 The Autonomic Nervous System

front 1

Sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers serve the same organs and structures. How can they exert opposite effects?

back 1

They release different neurotransmitters, which bind to different receptors.

front 2

Name 3 structures that receive sympathetic but not parasympathetic innervation.

back 2

- Adrenal glands
- Arrector pilli muscles
- Sweat glands

front 3

A pelvic splanchnic nerve contains

back 3

preganglionic parasympathetic fibers

front 4

Sympathetic

back 4

- postganglionic fibers secrete norepinephrine; adrenergic fiber

- short preganglionic axon; long postganglionic axon

- arises from spinal nerves T1-L3

- "Fight-or-flight" system

front 5

Parasympathetic

back 5

- postganglionic fibers secrete acetylcholine; cholinergic fiber

- long preganglionic axon; short postganglionic axon

- arises from cranial and sacral nerves

- normally in control

- has more specific control

front 6

Describe how EDA/GSR can be correlated with activity of the autonomic nervous system.

back 6

The autonomic nervous system is integrated by emotions (stress, pain, feelings). These changes change heart, respiration, blood pressure, & more changes occur in the skin. All these can be measured by GSR since it is measurement of changes in skin due to autonomic stimulation.

front 7

Why might this be an exact tool for testing the sincerity and honesty of a subject?

back 7

Its failure rate is far too high to provide the scientific or legal certainty. If it is based on skin and emotional changes, people feel different on different topics/subjects so it could give a false reading.
