Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
Two systems of neurone
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
Origin of parasympathetic
Cranial sacral
Origin of sympathetic
Thoracic lumbar
Location of ganglia for ps and s system
Parasympathetic - ganglia in target organ
Sympathetic- ganglia next to spinal cord
All preganglionic are lightly myelinated - true or false
True
Parasympathetic has long or short first nerve?
Long
Cranial nerve x known as?
Vagus nerve
Receptor at ganglia is called?
Nicotinic
At preganglia this neurotransmitter is released
Acetylcholine
Final chemical produced by sympathetic
Noradrenaline
Final chemical of parasympathetic
Acetylcholine
Increase cardiac rate and force is what effect?
Sympathetic
What type of effect is sweat?
Sympathetic effect
Sympathetic target what receptors?
Adrenoreceptors
Example of 5 adrenoceptors
a1, a2, B1, B2,B3
Parasympathetic target what receptors?
Muscarinic
Types of muscarinic receptors (5)
M1, M2, M3, M4,M5
What adrenoreceptors are galphas linked?
B1, B2, B3
Increased PLC targets what adrenoreceptor?
a1
What adrenoreceptor is galphai linked?
a2
When activated protein kinase A do what?
Increase calcium release, activate potassium channels, increase calcium influx
Faster heart rate and more forceful contraction caused by what adrenoceptor?
B1
What does increased cAMP do (linked to heart)?
Activate protein kinase A, direct stimulation of ‘pacemaker’ ion channels
What effect does a1 adrenoreceptor have?
Smooth muscle contraction, artery narrowing, radial smooth muscle contraction , widening of pupils
