Introduction to Autonomic Pharmacology The nervous system is conventionally divided into the central nervous system (CNS; the brain and spinal cord) and the periph-eral nervous system (PNS; neuronal tissues outside the CNS). The motor (efferent) portion of the nervous system can be divided into two major subdivisions: autonomic and somatic. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is largely independent (autonomous) in that its activities are not under direct conscious control. It is concerned primarily with visceral functions such as cardiac output, blood flow to various organs, and digestion, which are necessary for life. Evidence is accumulating that the ANS, especially the vagus nerve, also influences immune func-tion and some CNS functions such as seizure discharge. The somatic subdivi...

Bioavailability Bioavailability is defined as the fraction of unchanged drug reach-ing the systemic circulation following administration by any route (Table 3–3). The area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) is proportional to the extent of bioavailability for a drug if its elimination is first-o...
