Question 1

Answer 1

Conscious control

Question 2

The ANS consists of a System and an opposing System.

Answer 2

Sympathetic and parasympathetic

Question 3

Each of these two systems has its own

Answer 3

Secretory neurotransmitter

Question 4

Terminal ends of sympathetic nerves secrete . Which activates.

Answer 4

Norepinephrine, adrenergic receptors

Question 5

The terminal parasympathetic nerve ends secrete . Which acts on.

Answer 5

Acetylcholine, cholinergic receptors

Question 6

Sympathetic system activates

Answer 6

Beta1 receptors

Question 7

Response if Beta 1 adrenergic receptor stimulation

Answer 7

Increased rate at SA node, increase rate of conduction, increased force of contractility, increase irritability

Question 8

Parasympathetic system activation inhibits cardiac effects. Response is

Answer 8

Decreased SA node pacing, decreased rate, decreased force, decreased irritability

Question 9

Sympathetic activation of alpha 1 receptors causes

Answer 9

Construction of arteries

Question 10

Parasympathetic stimulation of cholinergic receptors causes

Answer 10

Arterial dilation

Question 11

Severe pain or seeing ones own blood may induce

Answer 11

Reflex parasympathetic response that causes syncope

Question 12

Standing causes

Answer 12

Sympathetic response that constricts peripheral arteries to prevent distal pooling of blood and stimulates pacing

Question 13

An abrupt fall in blood pressure caused by failure of the compensatory mechanisms of standing

Answer 13

Orthostatic hypotension

Question 14

Elderly patients that have increased pacing but no vasoconstriction this is called

Answer 14

Neuroscience-cardiogenic syncope
