MUSCARNIC receptors Flashcards
CNS consists of?
Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous system?
Cranial nerves and spinal nerves
AUTONOMIC nervous system consists of?
sympathetic
parasympathetic
enteric
FUNCTION OF ANS
self governing subconscious control of organs and homeostasis. involved in contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessel and organs. controls glandular secretion and heart rate and metabolism
what is the function of the enteric branch of ANS?
controls the GI function without external input, receives sympathetic and parasympathetic input .
TWO main cells bodies in the wall of GI tract?
Myenteric plexus
Submucosa plexus
What are muscarinic receptors?
they are choinergic receptor (use acetylcholine as neurotransmitter) and muscarinic as well
What are muscarinic receptors?
They are G protein coupled (bound) receptors meaning the Gq protein activates…
M1 Receptor
responsible on the gastric and salivary control. they increase calcium ion conc inside cell and IP3 stimulation
what happens during rest and digest (parasympathetic effects)
increased salivation, mucus secretion, gastric secretion, GI motility, urination, bronchonconstriction
Decreased heart rate
