Autonomics Flashcards
SA Node parasympathetics
decrease HR by releasing ACh to mAChR
SA Node sympathetics
increase HR by releasing NE to B-1 receptors
AV Node parasympathetics
decrease velocity
AV Node sympathetics
increase velocity by releasing NE to B-1
Myocytes parasympathetics
decease contractility by releasing ACh to mAChR
Myocytes sympathetics
increase contractility acting on B-1 receptors
Cerebral vasculature autonomics
ONLY SYMPATHETIC, act on a-1 receptors to contract vascular to protect from high BP
Coronary parasympathetics
Vasodilation
Coronary sympathetics
short lived vasoconstriction on a-1 receptors due to metabolic need
Cutaneous autonomics
a-1 receptors for vasoconstriction
skeletal m. parasympathetics
dilation of blood vessels
skeletal m. sympathetics
a-1 constrict vessels, b-2 dilate vessels
splanchnic vessels
ONLY SYMPATHETICS, T5-L2 released on a-1 to cause constriction
Venous Return
SYMPATHETICS, a-1 causes constriction to increase venous return, a-2 and b-2 causes relaxation to decrease venous return
Pulmonary vessels parasympathetics
NO release to cause vasodilation
