Question 6

What are the 2 efferent divisions of the Autonomic nervous system?

Answer 6

Sympathetic and parasympathetic

Question 7

Answer 7

Near spinal cord

Question 8

Where are autonomic ganglia located in the parasympathetic division?

Answer 8

Near target organ

Question 9

What type of neurotransmitter is released in the preganglionic sympathetic division? Postganglionic?

Answer 9

ACh; N or NE

Question 10

Answer 10

ACh; ACh

Question 11

Receptors that are stimulated by ACh

Answer 11

Cholinergic

Question 12

Receptors that are stimulated by N or NE

Answer 12

Adrenergic

Question 13

What are the 2 types of adrenergic receptors?

Answer 13

Alpha and beta

Question 14

What are the 2 types of cholinergic receptors?

Answer 14

Nicotinic, muscarinic

Question 15

Chemically gated ion channels; ACh always excites the postsynaptic cell with these receptors

Answer 15

Nicotonic

Question 16

Stimulation activates a G-protein which activates or inactivates enzymes within the cell; longer lasting effects

Answer 16

Muscarinic

Mechanoreceptors that monitor change in pressure

Answer 21

Baroreceptors

Question 22

Sensitive to change in pH and CO2/O2 in blood

Answer 22

Chemoreceptors
