ANS - Karius Flashcards
where do PS pre-ganglionic axons leave the CNS?
cranial
sacral
where are ganglia located in the PS system?
on or near target organs
describe pre and post-ganglionic fibers
Long Pre
short post
where do Sympathetic pre-ganglionic axons leave CNS?
thoracic
lumbar
where are ganglia located in Sympathetic?
sympathetic chain
describe length of pre/post sympathetic fibers
short pre
LONG post
what nt is released by the pre-ganglionic PS system?
what is the receptor?
Ach
nAchR
what nt does the PS post-ganglionic cell release?
Ach
what is special about PS nt release?
varicosities are not protected, therefore leakage of NT into systemic circulation
what kind of receptor is located on effector organ?
what type of receptor is it?
muscarinic receptor
GPCR
what does a M2 receptor do?
what is it coupled to and what happens?
cardiac
Gi coupled, DEC cAMP and INC K+
what does M3 receptor do?
what is it coupled to?
what is its effect?
glandular tissue
Gq
INC IP3 and DAG, INC intracellular Ca
what do M4 receptors do?
what is it coupled to?
what is the effect?
autoreceptors on neurons
Gi (inhibit adenylate cyclase)
Dec cAMP –> DEC Ach release
what is the Sympathetic pre-ganglionic nt?
what is its receptor on the post-ganglionic?
Ach
nAchR (alpha or beta-adrenergic)
what nt is released in the Sympathetic post-ganglionic fiber?
NE
