A

Preserve homeostasis, there are several “layers” that ensure if one fails, another can step in

41
Q

(Nested Loops)
(Brain)
Amygdala?

A

-While brainstem, is the primary region of homeostasis, there are several “higher centers” of control such as amygdala (associates ANS responses to specific behaviors (ex. shock)) (ex. loud sounds triggers “fight or flight”)

42
Q

(Nested Loops)
(Brain)
Baroreceptor Reflex?

A

-Sensory afferent neurons that help modulate control based on various internal stimuli (ex. chemo and mechano receptors)

43
Q

(Nested Loops)
Spinal Cord?

A

-Sensory neurons at dorsal root ganglion send signal to spinal cord (which innervates bladder) and trigger voiding
-Spinal cord injury and MS may negative affect this loop

44
Q

(Nested Loops)
Ganglion?

A

-Ganglia on the surface of organs can modulate function to some extent
(ganglia on Heart contribute to rhythmicity) (CHF and arrhythmias can be associated with failure of this loop)

45
Q

(Nested Loops)
Synapses?

A

-Presence of heteroreceptors at neuronal synapse allows for regulation of synaptic signaling
-Heteroreceptors act as terminal receptors for other transmitters that may act either to stimulate or inhibit release at that terminal
