Q

list the chain of events of negative feedback system in response to acute increase in arterial pressure

A

the increased pressure activates carotid sinus stretch receptors → increased firing in CN IX → excites cells in nucleus of solitary tract → integrated at brain stem levels → nucleus ambiguous and dorsal motor nucleus of vagus are excited → *CVLM excited for both PNS and SNS, *RVLM inhibited for SNS → increased parasympathetic efferent discharge CN X → decreased HR → decreased CO → decreased sympathetic efferent discharge → decreased HR & force of contraction → decreased CO → decreased vasoconstriction (aka vasodilation) → decreased vascular resistance → parasympathetic and sympathetic changes decrease BP back to normal

34
Q

what is the blood pressure control system?

A

arterial baroreflex

35
Q

what kind of system is arterial baroreflex?

A

negative feedback

36
Q

draw out the huge awful diagram - do everything high yield!

A

be brave

pg 10

37
Q

how do both eyes constrict together if only one receives light

A

optic chiasm

38
Q

after brain receives info that there is too much light, what steps are done to constrict the iris

A

parasympathetic efferent neuron travels through occulomotor nerve to ciliary ganglion. pupillary restrictor → constrict pupil

39
Q

what muscles contract to dilate pupil

A

radial

40
Q

external sphincter is under

A

voluntary control (somatic NS)

41
Q

what system is on too much in overactive bladder

A

PNS

42
Q

what system is on too much in shy bladder

A

SNS

43
Q

what receptor for contracted bladder/detrusser muscle

A

M3

44
Q

what receptor for relaxed internal sphincter

A

M3

45
Q

what receptor for relaxed bladder/detrusser muscle

A

ß2

46
Q

what receptor for contracted internal sphincter

A

α1

47
Q

micturition is normally under controlled by

A

micturition reflex

48
Q

in micturition reflex, as urine fills bladder what happens

A

mechanoreceptors discharge as bladder is stretched

49
Q

list the steps in the micturition reflex

A

bladder volume increases & reaches critical level
Impulses to sacral cord via pelvic nerves
Reflex contraction of bladder wall - parasympathetic efferents
Relaxation of internal sphincter (inhibition of sympathetic)
Fluid in urethra causes more contraction
mptying of bladder

50

the micturition center in rostral pons

51
Q

draw diagram of micturition reflex

A

pg 15

52
Q

sympathoexcitatory

excite sympathetic NS

53

sympathoinhibitor

A

inhibit sympathetic

activate parasympathetic ns

Q

baroreflex controls

A

arterial pressure

55
Q

increase in baroreceptor firing rate it’s looking at stretch of membrane, afferent info will go to

medulla

56
Q

medulla sees that there is deviation from normal operating range for mean arterial pressure, it will turn on what system

A

effector systems

57
Q

if arterial pressure too high, effector systems will inhibit and stimulate what

A

vasoconstriction from sympathetic and the excitatory input to the heart
increase parasympathetic to the heart

58

parasympathetic input in M2 receptors

A

decrease HR, decrease conduction velocity, etc.
