Autonomic Nervous system Flashcards
sympathetic portion releases NE and tends to
excite an organ
parasympathetic proton releases _____ tends to ____ the same organ
acetylcholin
inhibit
SNS cell bodies of the preganglionic neurons are in the
thoracic and lumbar regions of the SC
SNS fibers leave the spinal cord and enter the sympathetic ganglion also known as the
paravertebral ganglion
pathways of SNS
short pre-ganglionic; long postganglionic
- SNS pre-ganglionic nt:
- Post ganglionic receptor:
- ACH
- nicotinic, Ach receptors
- SNS post ganglionic neurotransmitter
- target tissue receptor
- NE
- Alpha or beta adrenergic receptor
SNS increase
hr
PSNS decrease
hr
PSNS found in
brainstem, sacral spinal cord
PSNS pathways
long pre ganglionic; short post ganglionic
PSNS pre ganglionic and post ganglionic neurotransmitter
ACh
PSNS post ganglionic receptor
Nicotonic Ach receptor
PSNS target tissue receptor
muscarinic Ach receptor
Axon ends in
varicosities
NT synthesized in the
varicosities
Concentration of the ______ influences the strength of the target tissue response
neurotransmitters
What stops when NT is no longer present
target tissue
how is the NT removed
- diffuses away
- reuptake of the NT
- metabolized by enzymes in the ECF
(NE - monoamine oxidase, ACH- acetylcholinesterase)
the receptors of the SNS are called
adrenergic receptors
receptors of the PSNS are called
cholinergic receptors
