Q

Why is there a reversal of tone if there is total denervation

A

system that usually affects it more loses more effect and therefore the net effect favours the least dominant tone, causing a tone reversal

43
Q

what is referred pain

A

visceral afferent sympathetic nerve comes into CNS along with a somatic nerve so brain gets confused at level of thoracic and lumbar spine

44

pupil constriction

45
Q

what is mydriasis

A

pupil relaxation

46
Q

symp output has what neurons

49
Q

para output has what NT

A

50
Q

nicotine fites into which cholinergic receptor

A

nicotinic

51
Q

cholinergic receptors are also called

A

achetylcholine receptors

52
Q

nicotine stimulates which NS and which part

A

parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglia

53
Q

smoking causes innervation of what system and what response

A

SS -> BP and heart rate goes up, therefore more awak

PSS -> stimulates digestion and easy poopin (defecation)

54
Q

Why do sympathetic have their short and long neurons

A

synchronize and all actions turned on at once

55
Q

the ganglia in the sympathetic system are located where

A

far away from organs it stimulates

56
Q

why do parasympathetic have their short and long neurons

A

specificity to viscera and turned on in sections (not at once) ; refined and controlled stimulation

57
Q

the ganglia in the parasympathetic system are located where

A

on the organ it innervates, therefore cant be seen

58
Q

what does sludd stand for

A

salivate, lacrimate, urinate, defecate, digest

59
Q

sludd applies to what

A

parasympathetic

60
Q

parasymp has out put from what

A

cranial and sacral nerves

61
Q

parasymp sometimes called

A

craniosacral NS

62
Q

biggest nerve in all of PSS

A

vagus

63
Q

vagus comes out of which structure

A

medulla

64
Q

vagus nerve stimulates what

A

heart, bronchioles. liver, stomach, GI tract

65
Q

jamming finger in eye causes

A

big vagal stimulation, increased heart rate, blood pressure decrease, GI tract churns away

66
Q

sympathetic ns has output from where

A

thoracic and lumbar region

67
Q

sympathetic ns is therefore also called

A

thoracolumbar region

68
Q

define chain ganglia

A

far from effects, neurons run up and down chain “broadcasting” symp message

69
Q

another term for chain ganglia

A

sympathetic trunk

70
Q

do all sympathetic neurons go to the trunk

A

nope some pass through and go to the big sympathetic ganglia in the abdomen

71
Q

sympathetic ganglia can be either _____ or _____

A

chain or collateral

72
Q

what is an axon collateral

A

axon branch off the main axon

73
Q

is there sympathetic innervation of the bronchioles

A

nope

74
Q

bronchioles are _______

A

dilated all the time

75
Q

why dont bronchioles need sympathetic input

A

theyre dilated all the time and dont need sympathetic innervation

76
Q

what dilates bronchioles in addition to PSNS

A

they have epinephrine receptors that are activated by epinephrine released by SNS into the blood NOT the nevres

77
Q

sexual response is innervated by what

A

both parasympathetic and sympa NS; excitation is parasymp but orgasm is sympathetic

A

sympathetic post ganglionic target organ/effectors

82
Q

muscarinic receptors are found where

A

parasympathetic target organs

83
Q

what stimulates muscarinic receptors and what happens

A

muscarine and ach; sludd and decreased heart rate

84
Q

muscarinic recptors are found in which NS

A

parasympathetic NS and CNS (cause hallucinations)

85
Q

nictonic receptors are found where

A

striated muscle and sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic

86
Q

stimulation of nictonic receptors causes what

A

stimulation of both symp and parasympathetic

87
Q

striated muscles have what receptor

A

nicotinic receptor

88
Q

atropine blocks what

A

achetylcholine receptors

89
Q

alpha adernergic receptors do what

A

stimulate contractions

90
Q

beta adernergic receptors do what

A

inhibit contractions (excerpt in myocardium)

91
Q

beta receptor exception is?

A

heart muscle

92
Q

adernergic receptor stimulation leads to

A

long term activation of neurons in comparison to ach

93
Q

removal of adernergic NT is ________ compared to ___

A

slow; ach

94
Q

why are sympathetic NS stimulationg long lasting

A

long activation of adernergic receptors and large spread of SNS stimulation

95
Q

alpha 1 adernergic receptors cause

A

smooth muscle contraction, BV of viscera EXCEPT for the heart

96
Q

alpha 2 receptors cause

A

clotting

97
Q

alpha 2 receptors are found

A

presynaptic receptors

98
Q

beta 1 receptors cause

A

increased heart rate and force of contraction

99
Q

beta 2 receptors cause

A

relaxation of bronchioles, uterus, and all target sympathetic organs

100
Q

beta 3 receptors cause

A

increased lipolysis

101
Q

asthma uses what

A

beta agonists but these dilate bronchioles and speed up heart

102
Q

tachycardia and hypertension uses what

A

beta blockers

103
Q

best asthma mediator is

A

beta 2 agonists best

104
Q

beta 2 is found in

A

bronchioles

105
Q

beta 2 is found in

A

bronchioles

106
Q

best tachycardia medication

A

beta 1 antagonists bc slows heart, more efficient, and bronchioles are not constricted
