Q

preganglionic transmission options

A
  1. )Synapse directly with postganglionic fibers
  2. ) Follow preganglionic pathway to one of two peripheral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic fibers
  3. ) Pass through the sympathetic chains then through the splanchnic nerves to the two adrenal medullae

Q

Sympathetic fibers & the skeletal nerves

A

Some postganglionic fibers that originate in the sympathetic chains pass back into the spinal cord at all levels of the cord
 They then extend to all parts of the body via the skeletal nerves

Q

4 different actions of alpha component

A

1.)pen specific ion channel through post synaptic membrane (long lasting).
2.)Activation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)( Can activate a variety of metabolic activities)
3.) Activation of one or more intracellular enzymes
4.) Activation of gene transcription
(Create changes in metabolic machinery or cellular structure)

23
Q

ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE is made from

A

acetyl coa and choline and requires acetylycholinetranferase

24
Q

removal of ACH from synaptic cleft

A

ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE hydrolyses ACH into acetate ion and choline. choline is taken up by terminal nerve ending

25
Q

production of NORE

A

Starts in axoplasm of terminal nerve ending [Tyrosine> Dopa] via hydroxylation [Dopa>Dopamine] via decarboxylation opa transported into vesicles for final production step
 [Dopamine> Norepinephrine] via hydroxylation

26
Q

In adrenal medulla …of the norepinephrine is converted to epinephrine via methylation process

A

80%

27
Q

REMOVAL OF NORE

A

1.) 50% to 80% moved back into terminal nerve ending via active transport process
2.)Most of the rest diffuses away from the nerve endings into surrounding tissue
3.) Small amount destroyed by monoamine oxidase or catechol-O-methyl transferase
( Monoamine oxidase mainly in nerve endings Catechol-O-methyl transferase present in all tissues)

28
Q

Norepinephrine Active Time

A

 Normally remains active for several seconds
 Norepinephrine and epinephrine released by adrenal medullae into blood remains active for 10 to 30 seconds
 Level of activity takes 1 to 3 minutes to degenerate to nothing
 Deactivated by the catechol-O-methyl transferase, mainly in the liver

29
Q

MUSCARINIC AND NICOTINIC RECEPTORS

A

Muscarinic
Receptor on effector organs innervated by parasympathetic postganglionic fibers
Nicotinic
Receptor on postganglionic fibers of all autonomic fibers, Receptor on neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle
both activated by ACH

30
Q

types of adrenergic receptors

A

Alpha (alpha1 and alpha2)
Beta (beta1 (β1), beta2 (β2), and beta3 (β3)
Both types of receptors can produce excitatory AND inhibitory responses – Response depends EFFECTOR ORGAN

31
Q

 Norepinephrine secreted by adrenal medullae

A

Main affect on alpha receptors  Much smaller effect on beta receptors

32
Q

Epinephrine secreted by adrenal medullae

A

excites both types of receptors equally

33
Q

alpha a1 receptors

A

vasoconstriction, iris dilation, intestinal relaxation, intestinal sphincter contraction, pilomotor contraction, bladder sphincter contraction

34
Q

a2 receptor

A

inhibits neurotransmitter release

35
Q

beta 1 receptor

A

cardio acceleration, increased myocardial strength, lipolysis

36
Q

beta 2 receptors

A

37
Q

beta 3 receptors

A

thermogenesis

38
Q

A

1 impulse per second. max with 10-20 per second

39
Q
