Autonomic [1] Flashcards
Alarm response Heart: Mouth: Lungs: Skin: Blood sugar, pressure, water retention:
Alarm response
Heart: increase rate and F
Mouth: decreased salivation
Lungs: Bronchi dilate, breathing increase
Skin: arrector Pili muscles + sweat glands
Blood sugar, pressure, water retention: increase
Control of output autonomic vs somatic
Autonomic: involuntary from limbus system, hypothalamus, brain and spine.
Somatic: voluntary from cerebral cortex
Motor neuron pathway for autonomic vs somatic
Autonomic: two neuron pathway
Somatic: one neuron pathway
Neurotransmitters for somatic
ACh
Neurotransmitters for autonomic
ACh: pre axons, post parasym and post sym to sweat glands
NE: post sym other than sweat glands
Raynard disease
Excessive sympathetic stimulation following stress/cold. Chronic vasoconstriction. White fingers and toes.
Where does the synapse between pre and postganglionic occur in the autonomic nervous system?
Autonomic ganglion
4 functions of the hypothalamus
Controls organs via autonomic nervous system.
Regulates behavioral patterns, circadian rhythms and sleep/wake.
Regulates eating and drinking
Three types of hormones and named based on what?
Circulatory and local (paracrine and autocrine)
Named based on where they release neurotransmitters onto target cells.
Circulatory -blood
Paracrine - other cell
Autocrine - urself
5 stages of control of hormone release (pathway)
Synthesis, storage, release of hormone. Blood Response Hormone disposal Feedback signal (usually -ve) ...
4 Steps for the mechanism of lipid solvable hormones
- DIFFUSES into cell
- Activated receptor hormone complex alters GENE expression
- New mRNA directs synthesis of specific proteins on RIBOSOMES.
- New protein alters CELL activity
Path of water-soluable hormones
- Binding activates G protein, adenyl Cyclase
- ATP —> cAMP
- cANP —> kinases
- Kinases —> other enzymes
- Enzymes catalyse reactions —> response
- Phosphodiesterase breaks cAMP
Multiple schlerosis cause, symptoms
Demyelination
Numbness + weakness
Tremor, lack of coordination, unbalanced
Effectors for
- Somatic
- Autonomic
- Skeletal muscle
2. Internal stuff like glands, smooth muscle
