Autonomic and Cholinergic Flashcards
AUTONOMIC
NERVOUS SYSTEM
(5)
- INVOLUNTARY
- SYMPATHETIC (SANS) AND PARASYMPATHETIC (PANS)
- HANDLES VISCERAL FUNCTIONS
- 2 NEURONS IN SERIES
- ALL PREGANGLIONIC = Ach
- 2 NEURONS IN SERIES
- PRE- AND POST-
GANGLIONIC
SYMPATHETIC
(SANS)
(6)
- FIGHT OR FLIGHT
- RUNS ON
NOREPINEPHRINE - INCREASES CO, BP, RR,
BLOOD FLOW, BG - DECREASES RBF,
DIGESTIVE PROCESSES - FIRES AT ONCE
- SHORT PRE-, LONG POST
PARASYMPATHETIC
(PANS)
(4)
- NORMAL MAINTENANCE
AND ANABOLIC
METABOLISM - INCREMENTAL
ACTIVATION - VAGAL STIMULATION
- LONG PRE-, SHORT
POST-
SOMATIC NERVOUS
SYSTEM
(4)
- VOLUNTARY
- CONTROLS MOVEMENT, RESPIRATION, POSTURE
- ALWAYS EXCITATORY
- NO GANGLIA
CHOLINERGIC
FIBERS
(3)
- SYNTHESIZE AND RELEASE ACH
- ALL PREGANGLIONIC EFFERENT AND SOMATIC
MOTOR FIBERS TO SKELETAL MUSCLE - MOST PARASYMPATHETIC POSTGANGLIONIC
FIBERS
ADRENERGIC
FIBERS
(2)
- RELEASE NOREPINEPHRINE
- MOST SYMPATHETIC POSTGANGLIONIC FIBERS
CHOLINERGIC
TRANSMISSION
Acetyl CoA + choline = ACh
Transported to cytoplasm, prepped for release
Calcium triggers release
Binds to cholinergic receptor
Acetylcholinesterase breaks up the party:
choline + acetate
AUTONOMIC
