Autonomic Afferent
General visceral afferent fibers convey both concious
and unconcious sensations from the viscera
Adrenergic receptors
- α-adrenergic pupillary dilatation, vasoconstriction,
ejaculation, control internal spchincters of bladder and
rectum
- β-adrenergic control the heart, cause vasodilatation,
bronchodilatation, mediate metabolic effects.

THE CENTRAL REGULATION OF
AUTONOMIC FUNCTION
The primary cortical areas involved in autonomic function include the cortex
of insula, the medial prefrontal cortex, the cingulate gyrus, and nucleus of
amygdala
