Efferent Nervous Sytem Flashcards
Autonomic nervous system
Messages to glands, smooth and cardiac muscle
-homeostasis
-extends from CNS
-two chain pathway
Glycogen break down is…
Sympathetic
CAMP
Cyclic adenosine mono phosphate
Ganglion
Meeting of a pre and post
Location of parasympathetic
Cranial sacral region
Preganglion of the parasympathetic
Long
-ganglion is further from CNS
-secretes: Ach at ganglion
Preganglionic parasympathetic is what type of receptor
Cholinergic
-nicotinic
nicotinic
always ganglion
Postganglion of parasympathetic
Shorter
-secretes Ach
Postganglion parasympathetic receptor
Cholinergic
-musarinic
Muscarinic
Has five subtypes
Location of sympathetic
Thoracic lumbar branch
Preganglion of sympathetic
Short
-paravetebral (adjacent to vertebral column)
-secretes Ach at ganglion
Preganglion sympathetic receptor
Cholingeric
-nicotinic
Postganglion sympathetic
Long
-forms junction on target
What does the post sympathetic secrete
-norepinephrine 20%
-epinephrine 80%
-dopamine ~1%
Receptors of post sympathetic
Adinergic
