Autonomic Nervous System - Neurology and Neuroanatomy - Part 2

Delve into an extensive 1-hour 36-minute lecture on the Autonomic Nervous System, focusing on neurology and neuroanatomy. Explore the metabolic actions of the sympathetic nervous system, effects on muscular and cardiovascular systems, and special functions of adrenergic stimulation. Learn about the mechanism of action of acetylcholine, electrical activity in the SA node, and detailed aspects of the parasympathetic nervous system. Examine the effects on various organs, including the eye, smooth muscles, and glands. Compare sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, their effects on the heart, gut, and other tissues. Gain insights into clinical correlates, adrenergic receptors, and the cholinergic system. Understand the anatomy of parasympathetic nervous system outflows and their innervation patterns.
