Il Sistema Nervoso Autonomo L'"interno" (i "visceri") del nostro corpo, come il cuore, lo stomaco e l'intestino, è regolato da una parte del Sistema Nervoso chiamato Sistema Nervoso Autonomo (SNA). Il SNA appartiene, in parte, al Sistema Nervoso Periferico e controlla molti organi e muscoli del nostro corpo. Non siamo quasi mai coscienti dell'attività del SNA, in quanto esso funziona in modo involontario e riflesso. Ad sempio, non ci accogiamo quando i nostri vasi ematici cambiano di diametro o quando il nostro cuore batte più in fretta. Ciò nonostante, alcune persone possono allenarsi a controllare alcune delle funzioni del SNA, come la frequenza cardiaca o la pressione del sangue nelle arterie. le situazioni di emergenza che causano stress e che ci richiedono di "attaccare" o "fuggire" e le situazioni di calma che ci consentono di "riposare" e "digerire" Il SNA regola: I muscoli lisci della pelle (intorno ai bulbi piliferi) dei vasi ematici dell'occhio (pupilla) dello stomaco, dell'intestino e della vescica

Please Take our User Survey The central nervous system controls almost all voluntary activities of the animal. The autonomic nervous system controls automatic activities which are free of will ( involuntary such as heart beat, breathing, peristalsis etc.) Thus, this system deals with the internal environment of the body (homeostasis). The autonomic nervous system is connected with the central nervous system and is divided into two parts. (1) Sympathetic nervous system and (2) Parasympathetic nervous system. The main structural and functional similarities and differences are given in the following table. Sympathetic Nervous System Parasympathetic Nervous System Contains nerve fibers on which there is no voluntary control. (Involuntary nerve fibers.)

Ashgate Handbook of Autonomic Nervous System Agents Edited by G.W.A. Milne The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) supplies all innervated structures of the body other than skeletal muscle, and its effects are therefore pervasive. The range of available ANS-active compounds can effectively modulate any or all body systems. The ANS-active agents include drugs used to treat a wide spectrum of conditions including hypertension, myocardial insufficiency, migraine, nasal congestion, obesity, Parkinson's disease, and glaucoma. Drugs from an array of therapeutic categories, including vasodilators, muscle relaxants, gastroprokinetics, and bronchodilators, can be classified as ANS agents. This Handbook contains records for all the major drugs that mimic or block the actions of ANS neurotransmitters or whose activities involve a direct effect on ANS neurotransmitter production, destruction or reuptake, or on junctional transmission. Monographs are provided for 1,996 ANS agents. For each main entry, the following information is provided: the chemical name and a list of proprietary names and synonyms; the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number; the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) number, and the Merck Index (12th edition) number. The physical properties of each compound are described and the known biological activity and indicated applications are presented. The structure of each compound is provided, together with a summary of the acute toxicity data associated with it, and the manufacturers and suppliers of the drug are also given. Indexes, including a master index of names and synonyms, are appended.

88. Autonomic Nervous System Physiology and neural influences. Primary neural control of the heart is maintainedby the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS influences http://www.ans-hrv.com/page5.html

The ANSAR Group, Inc., a medical technology developer the autonomic nervous system maintains primary neural control of the heart Heart rate variability (HRV) power spectral analysis is one of many means of analyzing the electrocardiogram. Analysis of this kind can provide relative measures of the power or tone of various underlying physiologic influences on heart rate control, including hormonal and enzymatic, circadian, respiratory, and neural influences. Primary neural control of the heart is maintained by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). When the ANS affects a change in the body (e.g., heart rate or respiratory rate), it works only to cause the change. The ANS then returns to its baseline state. So, periodic excursions in one or the other branch from baseline are normal and expected as long as the ANS returns to baseline in a timely manner. Persistently elevated levels of tone in one or the other branch are not healthy. The general action of each of the branches of the ANS is to oppose the other. As one branch begins to work the other branch begins to return it to baseline. Consequently, persistently elevated tone in one branch can result in a persistently depressed tone in the other. This only serves to compound an unhealthy situation. So, balance between the branches is as important as overall tone in each of the branches. home page company foundation information for health care providers autonomic nervous system physiology ... response form To contact us: Phone: 215-922-6088

The Autonomic Nervous System The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary muscular and metabolic activites within the body such as heart rate, peristalsis, vascular constriction and dilation, etc. Different emotional states can have a direct impact on the types of changes that are exerted by the ANS at any particular time. The sympathetic system, which originates from ganglia outside the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, is responsible for exciting the various systems in the body in what is often called the "fight or flight" response. The parasympathetic system, on the other hand, is responsible for maintaining routine metabolic functions and quieting the body after being stimulated by the sympathetic system. The two systems work antagonistically and are functioning at all times. Back to syllabus Back to nervous system page

Although the autonomic nervous system's impulses originate in the central nervous system, it performs the most basic human functions more or less automatically, without conscious intervention of higher brain centers. Because it is linked to those centers, however, the autonomic system is influenced by the emotions; for example, anger can increase the rate of heartbeat. All of the fibers of the autonomic nervous system are motor channels, and their impulses arise from the nerve tissue itself, so that the organs they innervate perform more or less involuntarily and do not require stimulation to function. Autonomic nerve fibers exit from the central nervous system as part of other peripheral nerves but branch from them to form two more subsystems: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, the actions of which usually oppose each other. For example, sympathetic nerves cause arteries to contract while parasympathetic nerves cause them to dilate. Sympathetic impulses are conducted to the organs by two or more neurons. The cell body of the first lies within the central nervous system and that of the second in an external ganglion. Eighteen pairs of such ganglia interconnect by nerve fibers to form a double chain just outside the spine and running parallel to it. Parasympathetic impulses are also relayed by at least two neurons, but the cell body of the second generally lies near or within the target organ.

97. Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia features can be explained by autonomic (sympathetic) nervous system dysfunction http://www.martinez-lavin.com/Fibromyalgia.htm

What is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common illness that affects 2% of the general population, of which the majority are female. The illness may be triggered by physical or emotional trauma. FM is characterized by chronic widespread pain, by sleeping problems, and by profound fatigue that does not improve after resting. There is significant overlap between FM and chronic fatigue syndrome. Patients with FM frequently have other symptoms such as headaches, nocturnal jaw tightness, morning stiffness, tingling and numbness of arms and legs, irritable bowel, urinary urgency, dryness in the mouth and eyes, cold swollen hands, anxiety and/or depression. Another characteristic of FM is tenderness at palpation in defined points at the neck and lower back areas. Is fibromyalgia easy to recognize ? The answer is no - for several reasons: · Many physicians are unaware of the existence of this syndrome. · The patients are sometimes labeled as hypochondriacs or hysterics because lab tests do not show evidence of disease. · It may be confused with other rheumatic illnesses such as polymyalgia rheumatica, ankylosing spondylitis or rheumatoid arthritis (because of the generalized muscle and joint pain), with lupus or Sjogren's syndrome (because of its perplexing symptoms). However, an important point of differentiation is the lack of any tissue damage or sign of inflammation in FM.
