Introduction to the Autonomic Introduction to the Autonomic Nervous system (ANS)Nervous system (ANS)
• Dr. Taha Sadig Ahmed
• MBBS , PhD ( England )• MAANEM ( USA) • Consultant , Clinical Neurophysiology, King
Abdulaziz University Hospital , Riyadh • Medical Advisor to the Saudi Board of
Neurophysiology • Associate Professor , College of Medicine
• ANS has two subdivisions: Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic Higher (CNS)controller of
ANS is the Hypothalamus : Posterior hypothalamus
controls Sympathetic NS Anterior hypothalamus
controls Parasympathetic NS These hypothalamic centers
exert their effects via the motor centers of he brainstem & spinal cord .. Moreover , the
hypothalamic centers are influenced by impulses from the Cerebral Cortex and Limbic System .
Q Q :What are the main differences between the:What are the main differences between the Somatic ( Voluntary ) Nervous SystemSomatic ( Voluntary ) Nervous System
and Autonomic( Involuntary ) Nervous Systemand Autonomic( Involuntary ) Nervous System ??

There is one lower ( efferent ) motor neuron There is one lower ( efferent ) motor neuron that directly innervates the skeletal muscle. that directly innervates the skeletal muscle.
The cell-body ( soma ) of this motoneuron is The cell-body ( soma ) of this motoneuron is located inside the CNS , either located inside the CNS , either
(a) in the brain (a) in the brain in case of cranial nerves , or in case of cranial nerves , or (b) in the spinal cord (b) in the spinal cord in case of spinal nerves in case of spinal nerves
.. The axon of the somatic motor neuron is The axon of the somatic motor neuron is
myelinated, therefore fast-conducting . myelinated, therefore fast-conducting .

Somatic NS : one motor fiber that directly innervates to the skeletal muscle
ANS : Two motor neurns in series : preganglionic & postganglionic They supply the target cell , which can be a an involuntary muscle ( cardiac or smooth ) , or a gland ( e.g., salivary , gastric , sweat gland , etc )
Unmyelinated Fiber
Myelinated Fiber

1. Preganglionic nerves in exit the CNS from the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord therefore , the sympathetic system is also called : “ Thoraco-lumbar Outflow “
2.Preganglionic fibers are myelinated 3.The postganglionic neuron cell-bodies are located in
paravertebral sympathetic ganglia , distant from their target tissues .
4.Postganglionic fibers are unmyelinated & longer than preganglionic fibers .
5.There is much divergence . The ratio (pre/post) being = 1:10 ;
6.This considerable divergence results in generalized and widespread effects on body functions when this system is activated .
Sympathetic (Thoracolumbar) System
Parasympathetic (Craniosacral ) system
1. Preganglionic nerves exit the CNS from the cranium and sacral segments of the spinal cord .Therefore , the paraympathetic system is also called “ Craniosacral Outflow “ .
2. Preganglionic fibers are myelinated 3. The postganglionic neuron cell-bodies are located in
parasympathetic ganglia , close to their target tissues or embedded in their walls
4. Postganglionic fibers are unmyelinated & shorter than preganglionic fibers .
5 . There is little divergence , the ratio of pre- to postgaglionic fibers is 1:3
6. This little divergence results in more specific ,discrete and localized effects in the body when this system is activated .

General Effect of Sympathetic Activation ( Stimulation )
• Sympathetic system is active during stress and physical activity , such as physical exercise ( as in sport ) ; and during increased mental & emotional activity such as in fear, anger , worry , anxiety, severe pain preparing the body for fight or flight
• And promoting mechanisms which increase energy production & accelerate metabolism
Alternating fight & flight
Is this fight or flight ?
Is this fight or flight ?

General Effect of Parasympathetic Stimulation
• Parasympathetic system activities is related to the relaxed state and rest
• Conservation of body energy ,and • vegetative functions ( nutritive , body-building ,
restorative anabolic functions & tissue repair ) , & is more active during feeding , digestion & rest & sleep .
• The parasympathetic system is more active during feeding , digestion , leisure , rest
• & sleep
Ach is secreted by (1) all preganglionic nerves, (2) all postganglionic parasympathetic nerves , & (3) postganglionic sympathetic nerves that innervate sweat glands & blood vessels in skeletal muscle .The rest of postganglionic sympathetic nerves secrete norepinephrine Adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine ( 80%) and norepinephrine ( 20%)
The adrenal medulla is considered integral part of the sympathetic NS .
80% of its secretion is epinephrine ( EP) and
20% of it NE . EP (epinephrine ) in the
bloodstream comes from the adrenal medulla . Postganglionic sympathetic nerves can not synthesize epinephrine from its precursor which is norepinephrine .
