THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (SyNS) Although as already mentioned the SyNS is most active in times of stress it is in fact in operation continuously. Neurones of the SyNS emerge from the spinal cord via the ventral roots. Efferent neurones of the SyNS pass through the branch or each spinal nerve known as the white ramus . Together they are known as the white ramus communicans . 'I'hey are white in appearance because they contain myelinated axons. In fact all the preganglionic neurones in the SyNS are myelinated. They are called preganglionic neurones because they come between the CNS and a chain of ganglia which run up either side of the spinal cord known as the paravertebral sympathetic gangilonic chain. Each of these paired chains is a series of 22 ganglia located along the length of the vertebral column. Most preganglionic neurones end within the ganglia and synapse with postganglionic efferent neurones. ( Postganglionic meaning "after the ganglia" ). Some of the postganglionic neurones leave the ganglia via the paravertebral sympathetic chain from which they branch off to form various sympathetic nerves serving mainly blood vessels in the head, neck and thorax.

23. The Autonomic Nervous System THE autonomic nervous system. There are two systems which make up the autonomicnervous system. The sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system. http://www.sturgeon.ab.ca/rw/nervious_system/Auto.html

THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM All autonomic nerves are motor nerves that regulate the organs of the body without conscious control. Somatic nerves lead to muscles and are regulated by conscious control. Such things as breathing,heart rate, and blood carbon dioxide and oxygen levels are controled by autonomic nerves. Once carbon dioxide or oxygen levels drop or exceed the normal range, autonomic nerves respond to restore homeostasis. During emergencies, your autonomic nervous system diverts blood from your stomach to skeletal muscles, increases you heart and breathing rates, and causes your pupils to dialate. S YMPATHETIC AND PARASYMPATHETIC SYSTEMS There are two systems which make up the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system. The sympathetic system prepares the body for stress. The sypathetic nerves have a short preganglionic nerve and a longer postganglionic nerve. The parasypathetic system restores the body to its normal balance. Parasympathetic nerves have a long preganglionic nerve and a short postganglionic nerve. EFFECTS OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM Organ Sypathetic Parasypathetic Heart increases heart rate decreases heart rate Digestive Decreases peristalsis.

Recommended Products Data Collection of the Autonomic Nervous System One of the most exciting tools that I have learned in medicine involves the ability to gather information about some of the foundational causes on why people get sick. These tools rely on using the body's energy circuits and the autonomic nervous system (ANS). What is the ANS? It is the part of our brain that is responsible for controlling many varied aspects of our health. It controls our breathing, heart rate, sweating, digestion and all vital functions. If this system is impaired or not functioning properly, there will be major dysfunction in the body. The tools involve determination of the factors that are blocking energy in the autonomic nervous system. This is done by stressing the body with challenges and determining if there is an effect on the flow of energy in the ANS. There are many issues that can cause the ANS to not function properly. Most are included in this group:

Lecture 26: Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Controls the Body's Internal Environment in a Coordinated Manner The ANS helps control the heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiration, blood pH and other bodily functions through a series of complex reflex actions These controls are done automatically, below the conscious level To exert this control the activities of many different organs must be coordinated so they work to accomplish the same goal In the ANS there are 2 nerves between the central nervous system (CNS) and the organ. The nerve cell bodies for the second nerve are organized into ganglia: At each junction neurotransmitters are released and carry the signal to the next nerve or organ. The ANS has 2 Divisions, Sympathetic and Parasympathetic, Which Differ in Anatomy and Function The sympathetic nerves come from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. The preganglionic nerves are short and synapse in paired ganglia adjacent to the spinal cord The adrenal medulla, technically an endocrine gland, is functionally a part of the sympathetic nervous system

Autonomic nervous system and sleep Author: M.F. Hilton, Sleep Disorders Program, Division of Sleep Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, 02114, USA. Table of Contents Introduction Sympathetic system anatomy Sympathetic neurotransmitters Adrenal medullae ... Bibliography Introduction The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is primarily associated with the 'automatic' control of many organs, as both a homeostatic and acute regulator in response to changing physiological, environmental and emotional stimuli. The ANS can be subdivided into two principal anatomical components (1) the sympathetic and (2) the parasympathetic systems. Both systems have diffuse efferent branches that project to organ systems such as the heart, lungs, circulation, gastrointestinal tract, adrenal medullae, genitals, exocrine glands, eyes, bladder and the urinary tract among others. The ANS is both directly and indirectly involved in the aetiology of many disease processes including asthma, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As the ANS is implicated in the development many diseases the investigation of this system has received much attention. The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems have been regarded as antagonistic. This behaviour is exemplified in end organ responses such as the heart where, an increase in sympathetic activity increases the heart rate whilst an increase in parasympathetic activity decreases the heart rate. This has resulted in a depiction of the autonomic nervous system as a balance swinging around a fulcrum (illustrated in Figure 1).

Heartburn and Stress Autonomic Nervous System New Center for Integrative Medicine Home Various models propose that HRV is an important indicator of both physiological resiliency and behavioral flexibility, reflecting the individual's capacity to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands. It has become apparent that while a large degree of instability is detrimental to efficient physiological functioning, too little variation can also be pathological. An optimal level of variability within an organism's key regulatory systems is critical to health. This principle is aptly illustrated by a simple analogy: just as the shifting stance of a tennis player about to receive a serve may facilitate swift adaptation, in healthy individuals, the heart remains similarly responsive and resilient, primed and ready to react when needed. The mathematical transformation of HRV data is used to discriminate and quantify sympathetic and parasympathetic activity and total autonomic nervous system activity, reducing the HRV signal into its constituent frequency components and quantifies the relative power of these components.
