LEC EXAM #2 CHP 8 Flashcards
CNS:
Brain and spinal cord
PNS:
Periphery nerves and associated ganglion
Efferent neurons:
Go from stimulus receptors to CNS
Afferent neurons:
Go from CNS to effectors (muscles and glands)
Function of Somatic NS:
Skeletal muscle ->voluntary
Function of Autonomic NS:
Homeostatis of internal organs-> involuntary
2 types of neurons in the PNS:
- sensory neurons (afferent)
- motor neurons (efferent)
2 divisions of the PNS:
- somatic nervous system
- autonomic nervous system
What ion causes vesicle to dump it into the synapse?
Calcium
What is acetyl-coe broken down by?
Enzymes or transport proteins
Why are you able to stay awake with cocaine?
Neurotransmitter in synapse
Major parasympathetic nerve?
CN 10 (vagus)
ANS antagonistically controls:
Cardiac, smooth muscle, and glands for homeostasis
How does the ANS control the pons?
Respiration
2 divisions of the ANS?
- sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)
- parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest)
Blood vessels only have:
Sympathetic
How does the ANS control the hypothalamus?
- Water balance
- Temp
- Hunger
How does the ANS control the medulla?
- Respiration
- Cardiac
- Vomiting
- Swallowing
Sympathetic dominant hormone:
Epinephrine
Sympathetic neurotransmitter:
Norepinephrine
Parasympathetic receptor:
Nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptor
Parasympathetic neurotransmitter:
ACh (acetylcholine)
Sympathetic receptor:
Alpha and Beta adrenergic receptor
Agonist:
Mimics neurotransmitter
Antagonist:
Blocks neurotransmitter
Antagonist stops:
Insulin
Nerve to nerve or nerve to skeletal muscle:
Nicotinic cholinergic receptor
Short term stress:
Sympathetic nervous system directly synapses with adrenal gland-> dumps out epinephrine
Long term stress:
Dumps out cortisol
Paraspinal to organ:
Muscarinic cholinergic receptor
Most Na+ v.g.c. are concentrated at:
Nodes, no myelin present
Two types of conduction:
- normal
- saltatory propagation
Presynaptic neuron:
Sending neuron
Postsynaptic neuron:
Receiving neuron
Interneuron:
only located in the CNS
sends messages from sensory neurons to motor neurons
Ganglion
cluster of neuron cell bodies found only in the PNS
Where are nicotinic receptors located?
Skeletal muscle and autonomic ganglia
Where are muscarinic receptors located?
Parasympathetics and sympathetic cholinergics
