Exam1: Lecture 8 and 9: The Autonomic nervous system Flashcards
Is the autonomic nervous system involuntary or voluntary
Involuntary
ANS carrier all the neuronal output from the CNS, except for what innervation
Except for motor innervation of the skeletal muscle
What are some systems that the ANS controls
Smooth muscle tone
Exocrine glans and some endocrine
Cardiac performance
Energy metabolism
ANS ramifications into small branches differently than peripheral nervous system and functionally, characteristic elements included are:
Varicosities filled with NTs and mitos
Does the ANS have only adrenergic, nonadrengeric, cholinergic or noncholinergic?
Nonadrenergic and noncholinergic
What is the main control of the ANS
Hypothalamus / cortex/ hippocampus
Amygdala
Insula
Cingulate cortex
What is defined as being intergrated cortical level (cingulate, insular, amygdala) and mediate stereotypical stress response
Central autonomic network
- information is able to move forward and backwards
What are the electrical impulses that cause post-junctional response
Positive and negative
Stress is a sterotyped, pattern response (or stimulus that evokes that response) causing the Hierarchial network of brain centers to regulate the _________ system. Mobilization of successful adaptive response against imposed stressors causes a release of ________ inside the body
Autonomic nervous system
Adrenaline
What type of motor system is the ANS
Visceral efferent motor system
Motor output from the ANS is influenced by the ________
Hypothalamus
Sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems makes up what nervous system?
Autonomic nervous system
What is defined as the break and gas of the autonomic nervous system?
PNS and SNS (usually anatagonisit)
What are the preganglionic fibers of the SNS
Thoracolumbar fibers - thoracic and upper lumbar spinal segments
What is another name for the sympathetic chain in the SNS
Commissural fibers
What group of fibers are these?
- superior / inferior (cranial/caudal) neurons
- pass to paravetebral collateral ganglia
- go directly to effector directly
Preganglionic fibers
What is defined as 1 ganglion and 1 vertebral segment (except for cervical regions S,M,I)
Paravetebral ganglion
Is ACh nicotinic or muscerinic receptors coming off the preganglionic fibers?
Nicotinic receptors
What is the molecule?
Pg 8
Norepinephrine
What is the molecule?
Pg 8
Acetylcholine
Is ACh nicotinic or muscerinic receptors coming off the post- ganglionic fibers?
Muscerinic
What is the released from the motor neuron onto the effector organ in the Somatic nervous system(skeletal system)?
ACh
What does nicotinic receptors mean?
Ions flow through a channel
Describe the length of pre and post ganglion fibers in the SNS
Pre - short fibers
Post - long fibers
What is released from the preganglionic fibers of the SNS?
ACh
What is release from the postganglionic fibers in the SNS on smooth muscle and glands
NE
What is released from the post ganglionic fibers of the SNS onto sweat glands?
ACh (this is the exception)
Describe the length of pre and post ganglion fibers in the PNS
Pre- long fibers
Post - short fibers
What is released from the pre ganglionic fibers in the PNS?
ACh
What is released from the post ganglionic fibers in the PNS onto the smooth muscle and glands
ACh
What is released from the pre ganglionic fibers onto the adrenal medulla?
ACh
The Adrenal medulla only receives 1st perjection neurons and acts as ?
2 ndary projection neuron
What is released from the adrenal medulla into circulation (give amounts)
Epinephrine (80%)
Norepinerphine (20%)
what are some organs that many effetors receive dual innervation
heart, eyes and pupils
In sweat galnds the SNS post ganglionic neurotransmitter is _____ (muscarinic receptors on endothelium) causing vasodilation via nitric oxide. NO neuronal input
Ach
In sweat galnds the SNS post ganglionic neurotransmitter is ACh (muscarinic receptors on endothelium) causing vasodilation via ______. NO neuronal input
nitric oxide
what pathways are are in salivary gland that are excitatory - both prosecretory stimulate saliva secretion
PNS
SNS
Which endothelial form of NOS (nitric oxide synthase) causes synthesis of L-arginine and is Ca2+ dependent
Constitutive NOS (cNOS; Type III)
Which endothelial form of NOS (nitric oxide synthase) causes synthesis of L-arginine and is Ca2+ in-dependent
inducible NOS (iNOS; Type II)
- induced by bacterial endotoxins and cytokines
Describe NO life span
NO is a very unstable molecule (gas) and short lived
ACh binds to what receptor to cause a constitutive influx of nitric oxide synthase
Ca2+
Acetylcholine, bradykinin, substance P, increase in K, histmaine, adenosine and increases in H(acidosis) do/do not have an stimuals for NO release?
DO - they cause NO release
Where is nitric oxide synthesized ?
in the endothelial cells
what is the effect of nitric oxide when sysnthesied in the endothelial cells on smooth muscle
vascular smooth muscle relaxation
