A

PS

24
Q

this ANS division originates in the thoracic and lumbar areas of the spinal cord

A

sympathetic

25

this type of ACh receptor typically activates

A

nicotinic

29
Q

this type of ACh receptor can stimulate or inhibit depending on subclass

A

muscarinic

30
Q

do most adrenergic receptors stimulate or inhibit?

A

stimulate

31
Q

what effect do beta blockers have on BP?

A

lowers BP

32
Q

what effect do muscarinic blockers have on BP?

A

raise BP (and HR)

33
Q

what effect do beta agonists have on BP?

A

raise BP

34
Q

what ANS division is responsible for filling of the bladder?

A

sympathetic

35
Q

what ANS division is responsible for emptying (contraction) of the bladder?

A

parasympathetic

36
Q

what effect occurs when the vagus nerve releases ACh onto muscarinic receptors on the heart?

A

decreases BP (parasympathetic)

37
Q

what effect occurs when the vagus nerve releases ACh onto muscarinic receptors on the GI system?

A

increases digestion (parasympathetic)

38
Q

what occurs when ACh is released onto the SA node?

A

heart slows and BP lowers (parasympathetic)

39
Q

what effect does smpathetic activation on beta-1 receptors have on the heart?

A

increases rate, contractility, and results in increased BP

Q

what receptor is responsible for pupil dilation (mydriasis) via contraction of the dilator muscle?

A

alpha 1 (sympathetic)

46
Q
