ANS midterm Flashcards
What are three membrane bound receptors?
Ion Channel
G protein
Enzyme linked
Example of an Ion Channel?
Voltage gated
Ions travel along concentration gradient
Example of a G protein linked coupled receptor?
M2 in the SA node
Example of an enzyme linked receptor?
Insulin in skeletal muscle
*linked to tyrosine kinase
Examples of intracellular receptors?
Steroids in the cytoplasm
Order of G protein coupled receptors?
- First messenger
- G protein receptor
3.Effector - Second messenger
5.Cellular response
Examples of effectors?
Adenylate cyclase
Phospholipase C
Examples of Second messengers?
cAMP
cGMP
IP3
DAG
Ca

Alpha 1
Bladder detrusor is which G coupled receptor?
Beta 2
Where are alpha 2 non synaptic receptors located?
Platelets
How does alpha 2 affect insulin release?
Decreases
How does alpha 2 affect renal tubules ?
Inhibits ADH - Diuresis
How does alpha 2 affect GI tract?
Decreased motility
What are the five steps of norepi release?
Tyrosine
Dopa
Dopamine
Norepi
Epi
Which percent of Norpi is reuptaken into the synaptic cleft?
80%
What are the three ways Norepi is removed?
- Reuptake into presynaptic nerve
- Reuptake by other tissues
3.Diffuses away
What metabolizes norepi and epi?
COMT and MAOI
What is the final metabolite of norepi and epi?
VMA - vanillylmandelic acid
what does high levels of VMA indicate?
Pheochromocytoma
What is the primary transmitter in the PNS?
norepi
What is the primary transmitter in the SNS?
acetylcholine
What type of receptors are nicotinic?
Ion channels
What type of receptors are muscarinic?
G linked protein
How is Ach synthesized?
Choline + Acetyl CoA with the help of acetyltransferase
What is a antagonist of Ca at the presynaptic terminal?

What does the postganglionic neuron release in the SNS? What type of fiber?
Norepi
C fiber
What does the postganglionic neuron release in the PNS? What type of fiber?
Ach
C fiber
