Q

The somatic nervous system uses acetylcholine acting on what type of receptors?

20
Q

The PNS division of the ANS uses acetylcholine acting on what kind of receptors?

A

principally nicotinic, but also act via muscarinic GPRs

21
Q

The SNS division of the ANS uses acetylcholine acting with what?

A

nicotinic, but also norepinephrine (think fight or flight) via alpha or beta receptors

22
Q

In the SNS division of the ANS, where is the acetylcholine acting on nicotinic receptors?

A

the adrenal medulla

23
Q

In the SNS division of the ANS, where is NE/Epi acting via alpha or beta receptors?

A

in the bloodstream toward effector organ

24
Q

Sympathetic innervation of sweat glands is

A

cholinergic

25
Q

Postganglionic SNS neurons are mostly

A

noradrenergic (NA)

26
Q

The oculomotor cranial nerve (III) serves the

A

eye and effects lens shape and pupil diameter

27
Q

The facial nerve (VII) serves

A

several glands in the head including lacrimal, palantine, submandibular and sublingual

28
Q

The glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) serves

A

the parotid salivary glands

29
Q

The vagus cranial nerve (X) serves

A

the rest of the body - heart, lungs, liver, GI

30
Q

The principal neurotransmitter at all ANS ganglia is

A

ACh acting on nAChRs

31
Q

PNS cotransmitters include

A

peptides and NO

32
Q

The heart acts by which cholinergic receptor type?

33
Q

The heart acts by which adrenergic receptor type?

34
Q

What is the parasympathetic effect of the sinoatrial node in the heart?

A

decrease in heartrate

35
Q

Gastric acid secretion acts by what cholinergic receptor?

36
Q

The sympathetic effect in the pupil is

A

dilatation

37
Q

The sympathetic effect in the ciliary muscle is

A

relaxation

38
Q

Basal activity of the SNS and PNS is known as

39
Q

When SNS is inhibited and PNS is excited, what is the effect on cardiac output?

A

decreased; this occurs when pressure or stretch is too great relating to blood pressure and heart rate

40
Q

What kind of reflex triggers defecation?

41
Q

Micturition refers to

A

control of urination

42
Q

An erection is primarily due to activity in which division?

A

PNS (ejaculation is opposite)

43
Q

Noredrenaline and adrenaline may only survive for

A

1 to 2 minutes before degradation

44
Q

Synthetic sympathomimetics (acting as NE and Epi) may last for

A

up to 2 hours

45
Q

How do amphetamines act indirectly?

A

by triggering NA release from SNS terminals (think ephedrine makes you hyper)

46
Q

Which division do ganglion blocking drugs effect?

A

both the SNS and PNS - both utilize ACh acting on nicotinic receptors
