24
Q

What are structures that the Vagus never innervates?

A

Heart, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, Liver, Gallbladder, Stomach, Pancreas, Colon

25
Where do parasympathetic post ganglia synapse?
Synapse within, or surface of target
26
What are the targets of the cranial nerves for parasympathetic innervation?
Head, neck, most of trunk
27
What are the targets of the sacral nerve for parasympathetic innervation?
Pelvic viscera (Large intestine from left colic flexure to rectum) and Bladder penis/clitoris
28
What are the targets of the sacral parasympathetic innervation?
Large intestine from left colic flexure to rectum, bladder/penis/clitoris
29
What is the sacral parasympatehtic innervation pathway?
Preganglionic neurons (IML) will exit out of the anterior horn, travel with the pelvic splanchnic nerves and then synapse in the postganglionics of the target organ
30
What nerves does the sacral parasympaethic outflow use for preganglionics?
Via pelvic planchnic nerves
31
What does the Vagus nerve do to the heart?
Decreases heart rate
32
What enzyme combines Acetyl-CoA and Choline?
Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT)
33
What happens to excess acetylcholine?
Choline gets recycle back into neuron by choline transporter and acetic acid goes off and is used somewhere else
34
What is the primary neurotransmitter released by ALL postganglion parasympatehtic neurons?
Acetylcholine
35
What type of receptror receives the post ganglionic parasympatehtic response?
Muscarinic ACh receptors
36
How is the target cell parasympatethic response activated by acetylcholine?
Acetylcholine stimulates Muscarinic ACh receptors, which are couple to second messengr systems which in trun trigger the target cell response
37
What are M3 receptors and what do they do?
Muscarinic ACh receptors for smooth muscle contracton and stimulation of secretion
38
What is the second messenger for M3 receptors?
Gq, stimulation of phospholipase C
39
How does contraction of the sphincter puppilae happen following stimulation of 3rd cranial nerve?
Achetylcholine is realesed by the postganglionic neurons on circular muscle fibers in the eye that are loaded with M3 and binds the M3 receptor, which couples with second messenger Gq to sitmulate Phospholipase C system which causes calcium influx and calcium release from store to cause smooth muscle contraction
40
What mediates bradycardia?
Muscarinic receptors mediate effects of vagal stimulation and lead to bradycardia
41
What node of the heart does the rigth vagus effect?
Right vagus
42
What node of the heart does the left vagus effect?
Left vagus
43
What are M2 receptors and what do they do?
M2 receptors are Muscarnich ACh receptors for cardiac inhibiton
44
How does cardiac inhibiton of the heart happen after stimulation of the vagus nerve?
Acetylcholine is released by postgangionic neurons and binds to M2 muscarinic acetycholine receptors on cardiac muscle cells, the muscarinic receptors are couple to Gi and cause inhibtion of adenylate cyclase system resulting in less cAMP and PKA
45
What is the second messenger for M2 receptors?
Gi, Inhibition of Adenylate Cyclase - decreased cAMP, and activation of K+ channels
46
What is the effect of parasympathetic stimulation on the bladder\>?
Parasympatethic stimulation via pelvic splanchinic nerves facilitates Bladder emptying
47
How is contraction of the bladder body following reflex activation of sacral parasympathetics happen?
ACh from postganglionic neuron stimulates M3, M3 binds to Gq which activates phospholipase C system and cause calcium influx and calcium release from stores causing smooth muscle contraction
48
What cause activation of K+ channels in the heart?
Some type of potassium channels like in the heart are activated by muscarinic receptors (M2), once activated these casue an outward current of potassium slowing down the heart
49
What is the target of M2 receptor?
Heart
50
What is the effect of M2 receptor?
Inhibiton of heart
51
What is the target of M3 receptor?
Smooth muscle, secretory glands
52
What is the effect of M3 receptor?
Contraction, secretion
53
Where are the postganglionics of the vagus nerve?
Within the target organ
54
M2 Receptor System? G-protein class? Major Functions?
Parasympathetic Gi Decrease heart rate and contractility of atria
55
M3 Receptor System? G-protein class? Major Functions
Parasympathetic Gq 1. Increases exocrine gland secretions (lacrimal, sweat, salivary, gastric acid) 2. Increases gut peristalsis 3. Increases bladder constriction, bronchoconstriction 4. Increases pupillary sphincter muscle contraction (miosis), ciliary muscle contraction (accomodation) 5. Increases insulin release
56
What does peristalsis mean?
involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wave-like movements that push the contents of the canal forward.
