Lab 6 past Qs

Question 1

Why does acetylcholine decrease blood pressure?

Answer 1

(Sets free Nitric Acid and inhibits cardiac activity)

Question 2

What is the effect of compressing both left and right vagus nerve?

Answer 2

(respiration stops, then deeper and less frequent, heart rate increase)

Which vasomotor centre shows spontaneous activity?

Answer 3

(Pressor area)

Question 4

What is the role of apneustic center?

Answer 4

(Inspiration)

Question 5

Where can you find the respiratory center/neorons?(

Answer 5

Brain stem, pons close to vasomotor center in reticular formation

Question 6

Which part do you have to stimulate of depressor nerve to cause vasoconstriction?

Answer 6

(craniolateral pressor area)

Question 7

Which part do you have to stimulate of depressor nerve to cause vasodilatation?

Answer 7

caudomedial depressor area

Question 8

What nerve has the afferent fibers from baroreceptor in the carotid sinus?(

Answer 8

Hering’s nerve

Question 9

Where are chemoreceptors located in the CNS?(

Answer 9

bottom of 4thchamber)

Question 10

Which nerve is efferent for the heart?

Answer 10

(n. vagus)

Question 11

Where are volume receptors found?(

Answer 11

in the lungs and in the capacitancesystem of circulationeg. Right atrial wall

Question 12

What effect does Acetylcholine have on blood pressure?

Answer 12

(decrease blood pressure, because it sets free Nitric Acid and inhibits cardiac activity

Question 13

Which nerve transmits signals from depressor area to heart?

Answer 13

(vagus nerve

Question 14

Where are baroreceptors found?

Answer 14

aortic arch and carotic sinus

Question 15

Afferent nerve of Hering-Breuer reflex?

Answer 15

vagus nerve

Question 16

Where are expiritory neurons located in brainstem?

Answer 16

(ventral respiratory group

Question 17

Which stump of the depressor nerve do you stimulate to decrease blood pressure?

Answer 17

vagus nerve

Question 18

Where are vasomotor centres located in the brain?

Answer 18

close to respiratory center in the reticular formation

Question 19

Which area of the brain show spontaneous sympathetic activity?

Answer 19

the pressor area

Question 20

What effect does short term stimulation of the vagus nerve have on blood pressure?

Answer 20

heart rate decrease, blood pressure decrease for a while

Question 21

Name the respiratory centres in the brainstem?

Answer 21

(dorsal and ventral respiratory groups)

Question 22

What happens if you compress carotid artery caudal to carotid sinus?

Answer 22

slow increase of systemic blood pressure

Question 23

What causes vagus apnoe?

Answer 23

stimulating vagus, due to hering-breuer reflex

Question 24

Which receptors does epinephrine effect?

Answer 24

beta 2 adrenergic receptors, and alpha 1 as well

Question 25

The 2 centers in the pons?

Answer 25

pneumotaxic and apneustic

Question 26

What happens if you compress carotid artery cranial to carotid sinus?

Answer 26

(Increase blood pressure)

Question 27

Which afferent nerve transfers stimuli from n. vagus to bronchopulmonary center

Answer 27

(expiratory neurons of pons respiratorygroup

Question 28

What happen to respiration when stimuli of n. vagus?

Answer 28

(irregular respiration

Question 29

EDRF?

Answer 29

endothelium derived reflex factor

Question 30

EDCF?

Answer 30

endothelium derived contractil factor

Question 31

What does short time instrintic control depend on?

Answer 31

myogenic control of diameter if ateriols and metarteriols

Question 32

Location and function of n. phrenicus?

Answer 32

(C4 segment, function is modulated by inspiratory neurons)
