describe the parasympathetic effect on the reproductive system.
increased blood flow to the vagina or penis and contraction of smooth muscle to assist orgasm and ejaculation.

knowledge
anatomy
describe the sympathetic effect on the reproductive system
decrease in vaginal secretions and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, which makes orgasm and ejaculation more challenging.

autonomic dysfunction
also known as dysautonomia; refers to damage to nerves within the ans and malfunction of normal processes within this system.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
primary dysautonomia
occurs when autonomic dysfunction is the main disease process.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
secondary dysautonomia
occurs when autonomic dysfunction is a consequence of another disease process.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
idiopathic dysautonomia
occurs when there is no known disease process.

anatomy
nerve cells that act as “messengers” by sending and receiving information throughout the body.
neurons
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
axon
this is a long fiber that extends from the cell body of a neuron. it is responsible for electrical impulses that leave the neuron.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
dendrites
branch-like structures that extend from the cell body of the neuron. they receive information from other neurons.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
a protective covering around the axon of each neuron.
myelin sheath
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
also understood as the outermost layer of schwann cells. these cells are responsible for the production of the myelin sheath.
neurilemma
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
immune cells for the cns. they assist in the destruction and removal of harmful microorganisms.
microglia
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
astrocytes
specialized cells in the nervous system; the most abundant glial cells in the cns
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
primary glial cells in the pns
schwann cells
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
provide support for neurons and can be found in the cns and pns
neuroglia
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
sensory neurons
found in the pns, also known as afferent neurons, they respond to sensory information inside and outside of the body, then relay that information to the cns.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
motor neurons
found in the cns, also known as efferent neurons, they send information from the brain and spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscle cells.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
these are found in the cns, and act as the “go-between” for information that is relayed to and from sensory and motor neurons; also play a role in coordination.
interneurons
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
commissural fibers
connect the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
association fibers
connect brain regions that are within the same hemisphere.
anatomy.json
knowledge
anatomy
projection fibers
connect the brainstem and spine to the cerebral cortex. these fibers are responsible for “projecting” motor and sensory signals between the cns and pns.
