30
How are sweat glands exceptions in sympathetic neuron systems
postganglionic neurons involved with thermoregulation release ACh stress related releases norepinephrine
31
how are adrenal glands exceptions in sympathetic nervous system
Adrenal glands release epinephrine instead of norepinephrine.
32
Where do preganglionic neurons synapse in adrenal gland
Directly on adrenal gland (instead of near spinal cord)
33
Is cholinergic parasympathetic or sympathetic
Parasympathetic
34
Is adrenergic parasympathetic or sympathetic
Sympathetic
35
How do drugs influence the ANS?
Mimic or block 2 primary neurotransmitters (ACh & norepinephrine)
36
3 words for acetylcholine mimickers in parasympathetic
Cholinergic, parasympathomimetic, muscarinic agonist
37
3 words for acetylcholine blockers in PSNS
parasympatholytic, anticholinergic, muscarinic antagonist
38
3 words for norepinephrine mimickers in sympathetic system
Adrenergic, adrenergic agonist, sympathomimetic
39
3 words for norepinephrine blockers in SNS
antiadrenergic, adrenergic antagonist, sympatholytic
40
what are the two cholinoreceptors
nicotinic and muscarinic
41
what are the 2 adrenoreceptors?
Alpha and beta
42
tissue distribution of nicotinic receptors
ganglionic, skeletal muscle, neuronal CNS
43
function of nicotinic receptor, how many subunits does in have? selectively activate by what
function is they are Na+ ion channels that lead to depolarization of membrane, 5 subunits, selectively activated by nicotine
44
muscarinic receptor two different classes? Why are they two different classes?
M1, M3, M5 are one class, M2 and M4 are another class. 1,3 and 5 are Gq and 2 and 4 are Gi.
45
signal transduction of m1,m3 and m5
Gq
46
Gq pathway mechanism. What are the second messengers?
DAG---->PKC & IP3. Calcium is mobilized form intracellular (PKC is CA dependent) DAG and IP3 are 2nd messegers.
47
m2 and m4 signal transduction pathway
Gi
48
Gi opposing pathway is
Gs
49
M2 opposes ______ in the heart
Beta
50
Adrenergic receptor subtypes
a1, a2 and B
51
a1 signals via which pathway
Gq
52
main function of a1
mediates vasoconstriction
53
a1 found on
Vascular smooth muscle, genitourinary smooth muscle intestinal smooth muscle heart liver
54
a2 signals via which pathway
Gi pathway
55
what makes a2 special or different from the rest
it is found PRESYNAPTICALLY and it functions as an auto receptor to inhibit sympathetic output.
56
a2 leads to increased or decreased neurotransmitter release
decreaased
57
Gi pathway mechanism
inhibits adenylyl cyclase reduce CAMP dpk activity activate k + channels
58
adrenergic subtypes b1, b2 and b3 signal via
Gs pathway

60
does Gs activate or inhibit adenylyl cyclase
activate (opposite of Gi)
61
which receptors have opposite functions?
M2/4 and B1

erection (m3)
83
study this table (most important thing of all in this lecture)
84
miosis of pupil definition
miosis is the Pupilary CONSTRICTION that happens when CIRCULAR MUSCLE is constricted by activation of PSNS
85
what psns nerve is activated during miosis
M3
86
Mydriasis of pupil definition
Mydriasis is the CONSTRICTION of the RADIAL MUSCLE constricted via activation of SNS
87
