Q

What does the adrenal gland not have?

A

Adrenal gland doesn’t have a post ganglionic neurone

17
Q

What is the chemical released from parasympathetic nerve?

A

Chemical released from parasympathetic nerve is acetylcholine

18
Q

In the parasympathetic nerves, what is the cranial nerve 3 responsible for?

A

Oculomotor(pupils)

19
Q

In the parasympathetic nerves, what is the cranial nerve 7 responsible for?

20
Q

In the parasympathetic nerves, what is the cranial nerve 9 responsible for?

A

Glossopharyngeal

21
Q

In the parasympathetic nerves, what is the cranial nerve 10 responsible for?

22
Q

In the parasympathetic nerves, what is the sacral nerves responsible for?

A

○ Remainder of GI tract, bladder and genitalia

23
Q

Last part of parasympathetic nerves

A

• Saccro-cranial outflow

24
Q

In the sympathethic nervous system, what is the superior cervical paravertebral ganglia responsible for?

A

Pupil, facial glands, head circulation

25
In the symptathetic nerves, what is the middle and inferior paravertebral ganglia responsible for?
Heart and lungs
26
In the sympathetic nerves, what is the remaining paravertebral ganglia responsible for?
Sweat glands, pilomotor muscles, blood vessels of skeletal muscle and skin
27
In the sympathetic nervous system, what is the prevertebral ganglia responsible for?
GI tract
28
Last part in sympathetic nerves
Thoraco lumbar outflow
29
What is one main artery with a strong parasympathetic control?
One main artery with a strong parasympathetic control is the artery to the penis
30
Single input tissues example
• Blood vessels, sweat glands: ○ Sympathetic • Bronchial smooth muscle, ciliary muscle of the eye: Parasympathetic
31
Example of non-adrenergic non-cholinergic transmitters
• ATP/neuropeptide Y ○ Post-ganglionic sympathetic neurone=vasoconstriction • Vasoactive intestinal peptide ○ Salivary glands or bronchial smooth muscle=dilation • Nitric oxide ○ Parasympathetic pelvic nerves=erection
