Lecture 5 Flashcards
Sympathetic
Thoracolumbar
synapse in paravertebral chain- short presynaptic
Fight or Flight
Parasympathetic
Craniosacral- 3, 7, 9, 10
synapse near target- long presynaptic
Rest and Digest
Norepinephrine
acts on organ in sympathetic system
What part of sympathetic system is not affected by NE?
Sweat Glands
uses Ach instead
Acetylcholine
synapse in symp and parasymp
on organ in parasympathetic
Dopamine
acts on kidney in sympathetic system
Adrenal Medulla
acts as a post-synaptic neuron in SNS
ANS Receptors
Nicotinic Receptors for both divisions on post-synaptic nerves
PNS- M2, M3
SNS- a1, a2, B1, B2
a2
regulate release of epinephrine and norepinephrine
inhibit cAMP
increase Ca flow
Dual Innervation of the Eye
Dilator- SNS
Constrictor- PNS
Dual Innervation of the Bladder
filling- SNS
emptying- PNS
Afferent Sensory Nerves
carry info to brain stem or hypothalamus
Efferent ANS Neurons
info carried to target organs
Baroreceptor
sense drop in blood pressure
info processed in medulla
decrease HR- PNS- Vagus
increase HR- SNS- thoracic nn
