Q

After axons of sympathetic preganglionic neurons pass sympathetic trunk ganglia what are the four ways they can connect with postganglionic neurons?

A
  1. They can synapse with the ganglion they first reach
  2. An axon me a sand or D sand to a higher or lower ganglion before synapsing with postganglionic neurons passing from ganglion to ganglion
  3. An axon can continue without synapsing through the sympathetic trunk ganglion to end at the prevertebral ganglion and synapse with postganglionic neurons there
  4. An axon may also pass without synapse even through the sympathetic trunk ganglion and a prevertebral ganglion on and then extend to chromaffin cells of the adrenal medullae that are functionally similar to sympathetic postganglionic neurons

  2. Muscarinic receptors
    Both bind acetylcholine
61
Q

Nicotinic receptors

A

65
Q

Catechism-O-methyltransferase or monoamine oxidase

Agonist

A

A substance that binds to an activate a receptor in the process mimicking the fact of a natural neural transmitter or hormone

67
Q

Antagonist

A

Is a substance that binds to and blocks a receptor thereby preventing a natural neurotransmitter or hormone from exerting its effects

68
Q

Autonomic tone

A

Regulated by the hypothalamus is a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity

69
Q

Effects of the fight or flight response

A
  1. Pupils of the eyes dilate
  2. Heart rate, force of heart contraction, and blood pressure increase
  3. Airways dilate allowing faster movement of air into and out of the lungs
  4. The blood vessels that supply the kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract constrict which decreases blood flow through these tissues that result in the slowing of urine formation and digestive activities which are not essential during exercise
  5. Blood vessels that supply organs involved in exercise or fighting of danger-Skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle, liver, and Adipose tissue- Dilate, allowing greater blood flow through these tissues
  6. Liver cells perform glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose) and adipose tissue cells perform Lipolysis (breakdown of triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol)
  7. Release of glucose by the liver increases blood glucose level
  8. Processes that are not essential for meeting the stressful situation or inhibited for example muscular movement of the gastrointestinal tract and digestive secreation slow down or even stop
70
Q

Why are sympathetic stimulation longer lasting and more widespread than the affects of parasympathetic stimulation?

A
  1. Sympathetic postganglionic axons diverge more extensively as a result many tissues are activated simultaneously
  2. Acetylcholinesterase quickly inactivates acetylcholine but norepinephrine lingers in the synaptic cleft for longer periods
  3. Epi-nephron and norepinephrine secreted into the blood from the adrenal medulla intensify and prolong the response caused by norepinephrine liberated from the sympathetic postganglionic axons circulating through the body affecting all tissues that have alpha and beta receptors
71
Q

“Rest and digest”, What are the five parasympathetic responses?

Q

“ Rest and digest” the 3 decreases

A
  1. Decrease heart rate
  2. Decrease diameter of airways (bronchoconstriction)
  3. Decrease diameter (constriction) of the pupil’s
73
Q

Autonomic (visceral) reflexes

Responses that occur when nerve impulses pass through an autonomic reflex ark play Keii role in regulating controlled conditions in the body such as blood pressure by adjusting heart rate force of ventricular contraction in blood vessel diameter

A

Hypothalamus

76
Q

Why are most parasympathetic preganglionic axons longer than most sympathetic preganglionic axons?
