Q

Heart sympathetic- produces

A

~produce Positive chronotropic & dromotropic effects
~increases heart rate (chronotropic effect) and rate of conduction through the atria & specialized conduction system of the ventricles (dromotropic)
~produces Positive ionotropic effect both atria and ventricles (increased force of contraction)

Q

vasculature sympathetic- how do baroreceptors influence?

A

~Baroreceptor reflex afferents decreases sympathetic outflow so produces vasodilation
~causes Vasodilation & decreased heart rate & contractility decreases blood pressure

16
Q

bladder sympathetic- produces

A

~relaxation of the detrusor
~contraction of the internal urethral sphincter
~preventing the bladder from emptying

17
Q

bladder parasympathetic- location

A

Originates from spinal intermediate gray of S2-S4

18
Q

bladder parasympathetic- produces

A

~contraction of the detrusor

~emptying of the bladder

19
Q

bladder external urinary sphincter- originates

A

Originates from S2-S3 (Onuf’s nucleus – S2)

20
Q

bladder external urinary sphincter- travels to bladder by

A

travels to the pelvic floor by the pudendal nerve

21
Q

bladder external urinary sphincter- what does it do

A

voluntarily prevent micturation until convenient to urinate

22
Q

what type of fibers send signals from the bladder?

A

A-delta fibers

23
Q

what to the fibers from the bladder do (and the path they travel)

A

~myelinated afferents (A-delta fibers) from the bladder- connected to the tension receptors in the bladder wall
~Relayed by neurons in dorsal horn of spinal cord to ascend in the dorsolateral funciculus, Relay in thalamus to end in insular cortex gives sensation of bladder “fullness”

24
Q

what is micturition controlled by?

A

pontine micturition center

25
Q

what does the pontine micturition center do?

A

~Stimulates parasympathetic producing detrusor contraction
~Inhibits sympathetic relaxing internal urinary sphincter
~Inhibits motor neurons relaxing external urinary sphincter
~allows Bladder to empty

26
Q

what excites pontine micturition center?

A

Excited by periaqueductal gray which was activated by afferents from bladder

27
Q

pontine storage center- excites

A

Excites Onuf’s nucleus

28
Q

pontine storage center- produces

A

closure of external urinary sphincter so decreased urination

29
Q

what are the cortical areas that are active during micturition

A

~Prefrontal cortex
~Anterior cingulate gyrus
~Supplemental motor area
~Insula

30
Q

sex organs sympathetic- innervation from

A

spinal cord segments T10-L2

31
Q

sex organs sympathetic- results in

A

~Vaginal contraction
~Penile ejaculation
~contraction of the internal urinary sphincter prevents retrograde emission of semen into bladder.

32
Q

sex organs parasympathetic- innervation from

A

spinal cord segments S2-S4

33
Q

sex organs parasympathetic- results in

A

secretion of vaginal glands, engorgement of the clitoris, and penile erection

34
Q

sex organs parasympathetic- disruption

A

Erectile dysfunction
