ANS Flashcards
ANS
visceral efferent system
involuntary
has motor components
innervated
there is connection between terminal end nerve fiber and target tissue
dually innervated
structure receiving nerves from sympathetic and parasympathetic
most organs dually innervated have reciprocal activation
tactile sensation
tactile receptors in skin
density of receptors vary
proprioception
knowing body position in space @ time
internal receptors to allow brain to know where body is
nociception
can’t verbally express pain
lower motor neuron
only motor neuron that leaves brainstem
calcium
all skeletal muscles mediated by
all exocytotic events mediated by
flacid paralysis
paralysis of skeletal muscles, could be caused by presynaptic Ach accidently
-always cause post synaptic response but doesn’t always cause contractions
Nicotinic type 1?
acetylcholine esterase
digests ach
cholineaceytyl CoA transfertase
joins acetyl CoA and choline together to make Ach
Nm receptors
transmembrane
excitatory
ionotropic
sense “tissue” damage
–results in depolarization but no AP
ionotropic
Ach causes channels to open and release ions
graded potential
summate/ add up
EPSP
excitatory post synaptic potential
causes depolarization, carried by sodium
in skeletal muscle
IPSP
inhibitory post synaptic potential
downregulates next nerve fiber
spacially indiscrete
+ chronotropism
+ inotropism
increase BP
—- stimulates multi organ. multi tissue activation
