Lec 20 Flashcards
Cell body Location: Afferent Neuron
Dorsal root ganglion;
Location: Afferent Neuron
receptor is at the peripheral ending; ends at the spinal cord
“Two-Neuron Chain”
Autonomic Nervous System
Efferent Neuron Nervous Systems
ANS and SNS
Location: Efferent Neuron (ANS)
Preganglionic fiber originating in the CNS and terminating on a ganglion Postganglionic fiber originating in the ganglion and terminating on the effector organ.
Location: Efferent Neuron (SNS)
starts in spinal cord and ends at the effector organ.
3 Different types of Neurons
Afferent Neuron Efferent (ANS, SNS) Interneuron
Type of Neuron that terminates at Interneurons.
Afferent Neuron
Type of Neuron that terminates at effector organs (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, exocrine and some endocrine glands.)
ANS Efferent Neuron
Type of Neuron that terminates at effector organs like skeletal muscle.
SNS Efferent Neuron
Type of Neuron that terminates at interneurons and efferent neurons.
Interneuron
Type of Neuron that carries information about external and internal environment to the CNS.
Afferent Neuron
Type of Neuron that carriest instructions from CNS to effector organs
Efferent Neuron (ANS & SNS)
Type of Neuron that processes and integrates afferent input; initiates and coordinates efferent output; responsible for thought and other higher mental functions
Interneuron
What type of neuron has no Convergence of input on cell body?
Afferent Neuron
What type of neuron’s Input can only be excited and not an inhibition signal ?
Afferent Neuron
What types of neuro’s “ site of Action” is the “axon Hillock”
Efferent Interneurons
Type of Neuron’s “ site of action “ is the first excitable portion of a membrane adjacent to a receptor?
Afferent Neuron
Type of Neuron that can send inhibitory or excitatory inputs.
Efferent Interneuron
Type of Neuron that outputs only excites?
afferent efferent (SNS)
Type of Neuron that outputs can either excite or inhibit?
Interneuron Efferent (ANS)
Drugs that inhibit Neuronal Na+ Channels
Tetrodotoxin Saxitoxin
Drugs that inhibit Ca2+ Channels
w-conotoxin
Drugs that inhibit Muscle Na+ Channels
Tetrodotoxin Saxitoxin u-Conotoxin
Drugs that inhibit AChR Channel (Nicotinic)
d-Tubocurarine a-Bungarotoxin
Drugs that activate AChR Channel (Nicotinic)
ACh Nicotine
Drugs that inhibit AChe (Acetylcholinesterase)
Physostigmine DFP
Drugs that inhibit ACh release
Tetanus Drugs Botulinum toxin
Drugs that inhibit K+ Channel
Dendrotoxin
Drug that causes explosive release of ACh
Black widow spider venom
What inhibitors potentiate the effect of released ACh?
AChe inhibitors: Physostigmine DFP
Effects of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease
degeneration of motor neurons, paralysis and death (within 5 years)
Effects of Myasthenia gravis
muscle weakness(autoimmune response to ACh receptors at the NMJ)
Treatment of Myasthenia gravis
AChE inhibitors (Neostigmine) Irreversible: organophosphates - pesticides (parathion) nerve gases (sarin)
Organophosphates
AChE inhibitors and can be pesticides or nerve gases
Lambert-Eaton Syndrome
autoimmune disease caused by antibodies directed against presynaptic Ca2+ channels; weakness and fatigue.
Nervous System that originates in the brain or lateral horn of the spinal cord
ANS
Nervous System that originates in the ventral horn of the spinal cord for most; muscles to the head originate from brain.
SNS
Nervous System that has Two-neuron chain
ANS
Nervous System that that has a single neuron (motor neuron)
SNS
Nervous System that only innervates skeletal muscle
SNS
Nervous System that has duel innervation with two antagonistic branches .
ANS
