TRUE
What are the 3 regions of the Hypothalamus? (slide 4)
Anterior region, Tuberal region, Lateral posterior region
True or False? All regions of the hypothalamus communicate signals to the pituitary gland. (slide 4)
TRUE
True or False? The Posterior pituitary gland has magnocellular neurosecretory cells. (Slide 6)
TRUE
True or False? The hypothalamus compares input to biological set points. TrueWhich part of the brain releases signals in response to changes in the environment to maintain homeostasis in the body? (slide 5)
Hypothalamus
The Posterior pituitary gland releases 3 hormones. What are they? (slide 6)
Oxytocin, Vasopressin, TRH (Thyrotropin Releasing Hormome)
ACh Neuron connections are more direct. (T/F) (slide 11)
TRUE
NE Neuron connections are more direct. (T/F) (slide 11)
FALSE (Has intermediate connections)
What parasympathetic receptor is found in the ciliary smooth muscle? (slide 12)
Muscarinic receptor (M3)
What is the response time of the parasympathetic (cholinergic) system for the ciliary smooth muscle? (slide 12)
1 – 2 sec response time
B2 Receptor is found in the parasympathetic ciliary smooth muscle. (T/F) (slide 13)
False (found in the SYMPATHETIC)
What is the response time of the sympathetic (adrenergic) system for the ciliary smooth muscle? (slide 13)
20 – 40 sec response time
What are the two systems in the enteric division? (slide 14)
Submucous (Meissner’s) plexus & Myenteric (Auerbach’s) plexus
What does the hormone Vasopressin do? (Slide 7)
Helps the body regulate thirst and blood volume
During stress response, what does the anterior pituitary gland release? (slide 9)
ACTH
(T/F) Cortisol deactivates energy reserves. (slide 9)
False
(T/F) The sympathetic nervous system dilates your pupils (slides 10)
True
What hormones do the sympathetic system release? (slide 10)
EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE
What rare disease mentioned in lecture inhibits the release of cortisol? (slide 9)
Addison’s disease
Where do the Parvocellular cells of the anterior pituitary DIRECTLY release their hormones? (Slide 8)
Into the capillary beds
(T/F) Cortisol activates the immune system. (slide 9)
False
In the Dopamine system, where does the substantia nigra lead to? (slide 17)
Basal Ganglion
(T/F) The ventral tegmental area leads to the basal ganglion
False! To the frontal lobe
Which structure in the brain does norepinephrine leave from? (slide 15)
Locus coeruleus
What structure produces serotonin? (slide 16)
Raphe nuclei
What structure produces ACH? (slide 18)
Pontomesencephalo tegmental complex
(T/F) In reference to the SSRI’s, serotonin is taken up quicker than usual.
False!
The kidney releases _____, while the liver releases _____.
Renin, angiotensin
What significant roles does cortisol have?
It helps support immune system. It uses feedback control to the hypothalamus to shut down the release of ACTH.
In Parkinson’s disease, which part of the brain is affected to cause the symptoms?
Substantia nigra, decreased dopamine release
