Question 1

general info adrenal medulla

Answer 1

secretes chatecholamines; located on top of kidney; neuroendocrine gland; associated with sympathetic system–modified sympathetic ganglion, with chromaffin cells–modified post gang neurons

Question 2

ventral presyn ganglion synapses with adrenal medulla, causes adrenal medulla to release epinephrine into blood which will bind to target adrenergic receptors

Answer 2

ya

Question 3

what types of receptors are SYMP adrenergic?

Answer 3

GPCR/metabotropic

Question 4

what types of receptors are PARASYMP adrenergic?

Answer 4

GPCR/meta.

Question 5

what pathways can the GPCR stimulate?

Answer 5

phospholipase C signal transduction pathway–causes increase in intracellular Ca which mediates a cell response; also PKC can mediate cell response;
adenylyl cyclase signal transduction pathway–PKA causes phosphorylaton of other proteins to cause cell response

Question 6

what do growth cones depend on?

Answer 6

growth factors, molecules in the ECM, and membrane proteins
