Sensory Receptor — modality?
Detects specific stimuli like touch, temperature, or pain.
Autonomic Nervous System — function?
Controls involuntary body functions.
Autonomic Nervous System — division?
Controls involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic — difference?
Fight/flight vs rest/digest.
Neurotransmitter — cholinergic?
Uses acetylcholine as the signaling molecule.
Dual Innervation — definition?
Organs receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic input.
Neurotransmitter — role?
Transmit signals across synapses.
Autonomic Ganglia — location?
Outside central nervous system.
Craniosacral region — associated with?
Parasympathetic nerve origin.
Thoracolumbar region — associated with?
Sympathetic nerve origin.
