Autonomic Nervous System mind maps

Autonomic nervous system mind maps

These user-made maps offer different ways into the unit. Nervous system connects the autonomic and somatic systems with the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Noradrenergic transmission follows the creation, storage and release of noradrenaline, while Neurotransmission in the ANS covers sympathetic and parasympathetic functions.

Study with a map

For a starting point, use Nervous system to trace the main branches before moving to a more focused topic. Cover the labels as you study, then try to explain the connections in your own words. Return to the map to check what you remembered.

For an organ example, Heart Myocytes shows parasympathetic stimulation and muscarinic receptors. When you want to test recall rather than trace connections, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a map that fits the topic you are studying.
