ANS Flashcards
Output of SNS
T1-L2
Effects of PSNS
Miosis, increased secretion, decreased HR, constricts bronchi, increased peristalsis, contract bladder
Effect of SNS
Mydriasis, decrease secretion except saliva and sweating, increase HR, dilates bronchi, inhibit peristalsis, inhibit bladder, eyelid open, NA and A secretion
Effect of horners syndrome (neck symp chain damaged on one side)
Miosis, anhidrosis, ptosis
Innervation of blood vessels
Sympathetic
Innervation of ciliary eye muscles
Only parasympathetic
Where does PSNS dominate
GIT, bladder, salivary glands
Common features of SNS and PSNS
Cell bodies in lateral horn, 2 axons, Ach at ganglionic synapses nAChR.
Features of PSNS transmission
Long preganglionic axon, short post, 1:3 pre post ratio.
Features of SNS transmission
Short preganglionic axon, long post, 1:10 ratio
PSNS post ganglionic neurotransmitter and receptor
Ach and mAChR
SNS post ganglionic neurotransmitter and receptor
NA and adrenoceptor
neurotransmitter and receptor at adrenal medulla
Ach and nAChR
What type of receptor is nAChR
Ionotropic, pentameric, alpha 3
What activates nAChR
Nicotine, ACh
