25
Q

NE comings from the

A

post ganglio fiber

26
Q

NE binds strongly

27
Q

E binds strongly to

28
Q

PSNS - Ach binds to both

A

nicotinic and muscarinic receptors

29
Q

Sympathetic B1 and B2 effects on the heart

A

increase HR
- increase contractility

30
Q

PSNS M2 effect on the heart

A
  • decrease HR
  • slight decrease in contractility
31
Q

SNS B2 effect on coronary arteries

A

vasodilator

32
Q

SNS a1 and a2 effects on coronary arteries

A

vasoconstrict

33
Q

PSNS M2 on coronary effects

A

vasodilate

34
Q

a1 and a2 on small arteries and arterioles effect

A

vasoconstriction in skin and viscera

35
Q

B2 on small arteries and arterioles

A

vasodilation in skeletal muscles and liver

36
Q

a1 and a2 effects on veins

A

stiffening of the vein

37
Q

A1 and a2 effect on adrenal medulla

A

release of NE and E

38
Q

Regulation of HR by PSNS via and effect

A
  • vagus nerve
  • slows HR by inhibiting SA and AV node
  • decrease contractility of the myocardium indirectly by inhibiting SNS
39
Q

regulation of HR SNS via and effect

A
  • cardiac accelerator nerves
  • increase HR by stimulating SA and AV node
  • increases contractility of the myocardium directly
40
Q

cardiovascular control center is in the

A

medulla oblagonta

41
Q

cardiac acceleration

42
Q

cardiac inhibitory center

43
Q

vagal stimulation only goes to the

44
Q

sympathetic stimulation goes to the

A

heart and blood vessels

45
Q

NTS

A

nucleus tractus solitarius

46
Q

HR is under what control

A

antagonistic control

47
Q

what happens to AP of the SA node that is under SNS activation

A

the resting membrane potential is higher

48
Q

what causes resting membrane potential to be higher?

A

increase of sodium and calcium influx leading to increase rate of the depolirzatino and increase HR

49
Q

vagus nerve –>

A

aortic baroreceptors

50
Q

Glossopharyngeal nerve –>

A

carotid sinus/body

51
Q

SNS response to a decrease in blood pressure - effects on
- sa node
-myocardium
- arteries
- veins

A
  • increase HR
  • HR contractile
  • arteries - vasoconstriction
  • stiffen
52
Q

adrenergic stimulation of blood vessels

A
  • vascular smooth muscle is under tonic control by the SNSN
  • increased firing rate vessel constricts
  • decreased firing rate - vessel dilates
53
Q

a1 adrenergic stimulation causes

A

vasoconstriction

54
Q

b2 adrenergic stimulation vauses

A

vasodilation
