1 The autonomic nervous system. Anatomy. Functions. The symptoms of lesion

2 Autonomic nervous system is a part of nervous system which regulate the activity of internal organs and metabolism

3 Autonomic nervous system is a part of nervous system that regulates the activity of internal organs, glands, blood and lymphatic vessels, smooth and striated muscles and organs of sensation

4 Connection between the Autonomic and Somatic nervous system The morphological and functional unit of both system is a neuron The morphological and functional unit of both system is a neuron The main functional unit is a reflex arch The main functional unit is a reflex arch The autonomic nervous fibers go within cranial nerves and spinal nerves The autonomic nervous fibers go within cranial nerves and spinal nerves

5 Autonomic nervous system: Central (all the autonomic structures of the brain and spinal cord) Central (all the autonomic structures of the brain and spinal cord) Peripheral (all the others peripheral structures) Peripheral (all the others peripheral structures)

6 Central autonomic nervous system: Above – segmental level the limbic system the limbic system reticular formation reticular formation hypothalamus hypothalamus

7 Central autonomic nervous system: Segmental level nuclei of brain stem nuclei of brain stem autonomic lateral horns of spinal cord (C8- L3) autonomic lateral horns of spinal cord (C8- L3) cilium-spinal center C8-Th1 cilium-spinal center C8-Th1 sympathetic center of urination L1-L2 sympathetic center of urination L1-L2 parasympathetic center of urination S3-S5 parasympathetic center of urination S3-S5

10 Functions of autonomic nervous system Ergotropic (homeokinesis) – adjustment to the changes of environment and providing the needs of the organism Ergotropic (homeokinesis) – adjustment to the changes of environment and providing the needs of the organism Trophotropic (homeostasis) – it supports the constant internal reactions and provides anabolic processes Trophotropic (homeostasis) – it supports the constant internal reactions and provides anabolic processes

12 Functions: Emotional reactions Emotional reactions The reception of afferent impulses from internal organs The reception of afferent impulses from internal organs It is a memory substratum; it preserves information about previous genetically inherited experience It is a memory substratum; it preserves information about previous genetically inherited experience It provides motivation to thirstiness, hunger, sexual desire It provides motivation to thirstiness, hunger, sexual desire It regulates the state of sleepiness and liveliness It regulates the state of sleepiness and liveliness It indirectly regulates the function of internal organs It indirectly regulates the function of internal organs

13 The symptoms of lesion Emotional disturbances (euphoria and depression) Emotional disturbances (euphoria and depression) Changes of eating (anorexia or bulimia) Changes of eating (anorexia or bulimia) Sleeping disorders (insomnia, lethargy) Sleeping disorders (insomnia, lethargy) Sexual disturbances (hypersexuality and hyposexuality) Sexual disturbances (hypersexuality and hyposexuality) Memory disorders (especially on current events) Memory disorders (especially on current events) The irritation of some structures leads to aggression The irritation of some structures leads to aggression

14 Reticular formation It is a tonus motor of the brain, which works constantly in the brain stem. It consists of great number of cells, the axons of which are going in different directions and create a reticule. It is a tonus motor of the brain, which works constantly in the brain stem. It consists of great number of cells, the axons of which are going in different directions and create a reticule. In spite of the other cells of nervous system the cells of reticular formation accept pain, light, temperature and humeral impulses and send them to the brain cortex. In spite of the other cells of nervous system the cells of reticular formation accept pain, light, temperature and humeral impulses and send them to the brain cortex.

15 Functions of reticular formation To support the brain cortex tonus, its state of liveliness which is necessary for the normal activity. The reticular formation energizes the brain. To support the brain cortex tonus, its state of liveliness which is necessary for the normal activity. The reticular formation energizes the brain. It supports the certain level of activity of autonomic centres (the activity is very similar to that of sympathetic nervous system. There is also the same mediator – noradrenalinum) It supports the certain level of activity of autonomic centres (the activity is very similar to that of sympathetic nervous system. There is also the same mediator – noradrenalinum)Function The control of sleepiness and liveliness The control of sleepiness and liveliness To accept the information from the environment To accept the information from the environment To keep in tonus all the forms of behaviour, those have long – lasting character To keep in tonus all the forms of behaviour, those have long – lasting character

16 The symptoms of lesion The low activity of RF – the patient is unconscious The low activity of RF – the patient is unconscious Decreased activity of RF – sleepiness Decreased activity of RF – sleepiness The lower parts of RF have general and long – lasting influence on consciousness and behavior, the upper ones have short – lasting and specific influence The lower parts of RF have general and long – lasting influence on consciousness and behavior, the upper ones have short – lasting and specific influence

17 Hypothalamus Anterior – it is associated with parasympathetic function Anterior – it is associated with parasympathetic function Middle – endocrine – trophy Middle – endocrine – trophy Posterior – has mainly sympathetic influence Posterior – has mainly sympathetic influence

18 The peculiarities of activity: Motor cortex receives 440 capillaries per 1 mm3, visual cortex – 900 / mm3, hypothalamic region – from 1650 to 2600 / mm3. Motor cortex receives 440 capillaries per 1 mm3, visual cortex – 900 / mm3, hypothalamic region – from 1650 to 2600 / mm3. Almost all the arterial brain systems give their branches to hypothalamic region. That makes impossible disturbances of its activity. Almost all the arterial brain systems give their branches to hypothalamic region. That makes impossible disturbances of its activity. There is no space of glia between the vessels and gangliocytes. That provides quick reaction to the changes of internal surroundings. There is no space of glia between the vessels and gangliocytes. That provides quick reaction to the changes of internal surroundings.
