Q

Describe the Raynaud Phenomenon

A

reduction in blood flow primarily to the fingers. Often occurs during exposure to cold or during a stressful situation. Originally thought to be an increase in sympathetic activity, but the mechanisms are not really known

Q

What is Horner Syndrome?

A

A rare disorder that results in interruption of preganglionic or postganglionic sympathetic innervation to the face. It can occur due to injury to the nerves, carotid artery, or stroke in the brain stem. It occurs unilaterally.

17
Q

What is M3?

A

Smooth muscle and glands receptor

18
Q

What is M2 receptor?

A

Heart receptor

19
Q

What is the function of the Beta 1 receptors in the Sympathetic Nervous System?

A

Vasodilation; heart; increase in activity

20
Q

What is the main functions of the Beta 2 receptors in the Sympathetic Nervous System?

A

bronchodilation (allows for more oxygen to come in); lungs, GI tract, and Skeletal Muscle

21
Q

What is the mechanism for Organophosphate poisoning?

A

Prolongs the effects of acetylcholine, inhibitors are readily absorbed by the skin, gut, lung, and conjunctiva

22
Q

What organs are only innervated by the Parasympathetic Nervous System?

A

Lacrimal Gland, Ciliary Muscle, and Sublingual Salivary Glands

23
Q

What organs are only involved in the Sympathetic Nervous System

A

Adrenal Gland, most blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands

24
Q

What other areas can influence the ANS?

A

Limbic System, Amygdala, Periaqueductal gray (from midbrain)

25
Q

What type of fiber is involved in postganglionic neurons?

A

unmyelinated C fibers

26
Q

Where is the Enteric Nervous System located?

A

In the GI tract. It contains both Parasympathetic and Sympathetic nerves

27
Q

Where is the Myenteric Plexus located?

A

located on the outside of the digestive tract

28
Q

Where is the Parasympathetic Nervous System located?

A

In the brain stem and in the sacral portion of the spinal cord

29
Q

Where is the Submucosal Plexus located?

A

On the inside of the GI tract

30
Q

Where is the Sympathetic Nervous System located?

A

In the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord

31
Q

What does the ANS regulate?

A

blood flow and blood pressure, heart rate, airflow through bronchial tree, gastrointestinal motility, urinary bladder contraction, glandular secretions, pupillary diameter, body temperature, and sexual physiology

32
Q

What systems have dual innervation that are agonistic?

A

heart, digestive tract, airways, and the urinary bladder

33
Q

The Effector organ: Eye
What is the Parasympathetic Nervous System response, Receptor Type, and the Sympathetic Nervous System response?

A

Parasympathetic: contraction (miosis) and contraction for near vision
Receptor Type: Alpha 1
Sympathetic: contraction (only for the radial muscle of the irirs)

34
Q

Effector Organ: Heart
What is the Parasympathetic Nervous System response, Receptor type, and the Sympathetic Nervous System response

A

Parasympathetic: decreased heart rate (SA node), decreased atrial contractile (atria and ventricle), and decreased conduction velocity (AV node and Purkinje fibers)
Receptor: Beta 1 receptors, except Beta 2 and 1 receptor for the Atria and Ventricle
Sympathetic: increased heart rate, contractile, increased conduction velocity
