Lecture 1 Flashcards
ANS divided into ______ and ______
sympathetic and parasympathetic
which response is flight or fight (PSNS or SNS)
SNS
________ regulates the activity of smooth and cardiac muscle gland, lymphoid and some adipose tissue.
Autonomic nervous system
what are the 2 neuron pathways of ANS
pre and post ganglionic
where is the pre ganglionic neuron located
CNS
Where is post ganglionic neuron located
outside CNS in autonomic ganglia
Where does the pre ganglionic neuron project to?
Projects to autonomic ganglia
Where does the post ganglionic neuron project to?
Projects to target Organ.
Primary transmitter for all preganglionic neurons is
Acetylcholine
parasympathetic post ganglion neuron is
Acetylcholine
pre and post ganglionic neurotransmitter in PSNS
Acetylcholine
post ganglionic receptors in parasympathetic are______
nicotinic
Target cell receptors in PSNS are____
Muscarinic.
Neurotransmitter for most sympathetic postganglionic neurons is
Norepinephrine
postganglionic transmitters in sweat glands?
Acetylcholine
postganglionic transmitters in adrenal medulla?
Epinephrine
postganglionic transmitters in renal medulla?
Dopamine
characteristics of preganglionic neurons in parasympathetic system size
long
Where does preganglionic neurons in parasympathetic system synapse
At or near organ
What neuro transmitter is released to activate which receptor in preganglionic para sympathetic
ACh neurotransmitter activates nicotinic receptor on postganglionic
post ganglionic parasympathetic size
short
post ganglionic parasympathetic synapse at
target organ
What neurotransmitter is released at parasympathetic postganglionic
ACh released to activate muscarinic receptors on target organs
preganglionic sympathetic neuron size
short
preganglionic sympathetic neuron synapses at
near spinal cord
preganglionic sympathetic neuron releases what neuron to activate what receptor
ACh is released to activate nicotinic on postganglionic
postganglionic sympathetic receptor size
long
postganglionic sympathetic receptor synapses at
target organ
Postganglionic sympathetic neuron releases what neurotransmitter to activate what receptor
Norepinephrine released to activate adrenergic receptor
How are sweat glands exceptions in sympathetic neuron systems
postganglionic neurons involved with thermoregulation release ACh
stress related releases norepinephrine
how are adrenal glands exceptions in sympathetic nervous system
Adrenal glands release epinephrine instead of norepinephrine.
Where do preganglionic neurons synapse in adrenal gland
Directly on adrenal gland (instead of near spinal cord)
Is cholinergic parasympathetic or sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Is adrenergic parasympathetic or sympathetic
Sympathetic
How do drugs influence the ANS?
Mimic or block 2 primary neurotransmitters (ACh & norepinephrine)
3 words for acetylcholine mimickers in parasympathetic
Cholinergic, parasympathomimetic, muscarinic agonist
