A

basal level of stimulation that visceral organs receive from both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation

58
Q

A

spleen, kidney, liver, fat cells, and most blood vessels

59
Q

does parasympathetic or sympathetic have more autonomic tone

A

para

60
Q

what are the main tissues under sympathetic tone

+the sympathetic role

A

arterioles and veins (vasoconstrict)
spleen (capsule contraction, immune response)
kidney (renin secretion)

61
Q

what happens with ganglionic or adrenoceptor blockade to arterioles

A

vasodilation, increased peripheral blood flow, flushing, hypotension

62
Q

what happens with ganglionic or adrenoceptor blockade to veins

A

vasodilation, pooling of blood, decreased venous return, decreased cardiac output

63
Q

what is the main autonomic tone to heart and why is it beneficial

A

parasympathetic
-to increase HR, just remove the parasympathetic breaks–> it is easier than trying to wait for sympathetic stimulation

64
Q

what determines how target tissue will respond to systemic administration of muscarinic/cholinergic or adrenergic blocking agents?

A

whether the tissue is under predominantly sympathetic or parasympathetic tone

65
Q

what is atropine

and some side effects

A

muscarinic antagonist

so like constipation, tachycardia, dry mouth, urinary retention

66
Q

what does α-adrenoceptor antagonist do to blood flow/vessels and why

A

produces vasodilation and lowers blood pressure because vessels are usually under adrenergic tone (state of constriction)

67
Q

what is the baroreceptor reflex

A

decreased aortic BP-decreased baroreceptor activity in carotid sinus, aortic arch lungs and heart send afferent info to nucleus of solitary tract and ventrolateral medulla

causes efferent sympathetic outflow increased and decreased parasympathetic outflow from brain

this increases HR and BP via vasoconstriction

68
Q

what does high aortic pressure do (baroreceptor reflex pathway)

A

high pressure, increases baroreceptor discharge, activation of parasympathetic outflow and reduce sympathetic outflow (low HR and vasodilate)

69
Q

how is baroreceptor involved in postural reflex

A

standing-25% blood goes to legs

reflex triggers increased HR and constriction of vessels in veins
