Autonomic Nervous System
We will only peripherally mention types of cholinergic and adrenergic receptors (page 543). For example, you will NOT be responsible for knowing all of the locations of these receptor types (Table 14.3).
PLEASE NOTE that if you are a student who did not take BIOL 312 (or a comparable course), you will need to spend some considerable time learning the anatomy of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems to understand what will be reviewed in this first lecture. If you should have questions, please ask Dr. Westphal or your laboratory instructor to receive guidance regarding how to improve your foundational knowledge on this topic.
OBJECTIVES

(Can you easily reproduce and explain Figure 14.3 on page 535?), locations of ganglia
(You will NOT be responsible for knowing the names of the many ganglia, i.e. ciliary, pterygopalatine, submandibular, otic, celiac as depicted in Figures 14.4 and 14.5 on pages 537 and 539),and general fiber pathways.
Interpret differences between cholinergic and adrenergic fibers, and list the different types of their receptors. (How well do you know the information in Table 14.3?)
