Lecture 9: ANS 3 Flashcards
1
Q
All parasympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic fibers release
A
acetylcholine
2
Q
Two different types of Ach receptors found in postsynaptic membranes:
A
nicotinic receptors
muscaninic receptors
3
Q
Types of muscaninic receptors
A
M1-5
4
Q
Nicotinic receptor is also an
A
- Ion channel for Na
- When open, Na ions flow through down its electrochemical gradient -> a change in membrane potential -> action potential
5
Q
Mechanism of action for M1
A
Gastric parietal cells -> secretion of Hcl intrinsic factor
6
Q
Mechanism of action for M4
A
Pancreas -> secretion of pancreatic enzymes and insulin
7
Q
Mechanism of action for M2
A
In the heart: Sa node
- K channels open
- This leads to K efflux, hyperpolarization of plasma membrane
- Slow rate of depolarization
- Decrease in heart rate
