Exam 5 Flashcards
Receptors that bind norepinephrine and epinephrine are known as
Adrenergic
Which nervous system division works antagonistically to the sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
Receptors that bind acetylcholine are known as
Cholinergic
Where are autonomic ganglia located
Peripheral nervous system (pns)
The ANS does not
Have effectors that are primarily skeletal muscles
What neurotransmitter is released by the axon of a sympathetic preganglionic neuron to communicate with A sympathetic postganglionic neuron
Acetylcholine
What systems are interfaced by the adrenal medulla
The sympathetic nervous system and endocrine system
Nicotinic and muscarinic receptors are classified as
Cholinergic receptors
What neurotransmitter does not bind to adrenergic receptors
Acetylcholine
Watching a dog catch a frisbee is not controlled by
Autonomic reflexes
Somatic motor neurons innovate
Skeletal muscle cells
Acetylcholine binds to
Nicotinic and muscarinic receptors
Ganglia located near or within target organ, craniosacral division, and rest and digest are all associated with
‘the parasympathetic division
Sympathetic preganglionic neurons synapse
Sympathetic chain and collateral ganglia
The gray rami communicantes contain
Postganglionic sympathetic neurons
Collateral ganglia lie near the
Abdominal aorta
What body system oversees vital functions suchas, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestive processes
Autonomic nervous system (ans)
What term refers to the synapse found between preganglionic and postganglionic neuron of a visceral reflex are
Autonomic ganglion
Most of the cell bodies of the sympathetic postganglionic neurons are found in the
Sympathetic chain ganglia
What nervous system ativity is not an effect of norepinephrine
Blood glucose levels decrease
Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system originate in the
Lateral horns of spinal cord
What two systems are interfaced by the adrenal medulla
Sympathetic nervous system and endocrine system
When you are startled awake which nervous system division dominated
Sympathetic nervous system
Are the axons of parasympathetic postganglionic neurons long or short
Short
What does vagus nerve (cn X) innovate
Cardiac muscle cells
What neurotransmitter is released by sympathetic postganglionic neuron to communicate with the sympathetic postganglionic neuron
Acetylcholine
What effect does the parasympathetic nervous system have on heart rate
Decreases heart rate
