Q

2 types of PNS

A
  1. Somatic Nervous System (SNS): This part of the PNS is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body’s sensory receptors (such as the skin, eyes, and ears) to the central nervous system (CNS) and for carrying motor commands from the CNS to the skeletal muscles, controlling voluntary movements.
  2. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): The ANS regulates involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, and glandular secretion. It can be further divided into the sympathetic nervous system (which activates the “fight or flight” response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which promotes “rest and digest” activities).

These two divisions of the PNS play crucial roles in controlling various physiological processes and responding to external and internal stimuli.

A

Glutamate

Glutamate is considered one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain. It plays a pivotal role in excitatory synaptic transmission, which means it enhances the likelihood of a postsynaptic neuron firing an action potential. There are several reasons why glutamate is crucial:

  1. Abundance: Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, found in many neurons throughout various brain regions.
  2. Learning and Memory: Glutamate is integral to processes like synaptic plasticity, which underlies learning and memory. It strengthens synaptic connections, allowing for the formation of memories and the ability to learn.
  3. Brain Function: Glutamate is involved in a wide range of cognitive functions, including perception, thinking, and emotion regulation.
  4. Neural Communication: It serves as a key messenger in communication between neurons, transmitting signals across synapses and influencing the overall network activity in the brain.
  5. Homeostasis: Glutamate also plays a role in maintaining the balance of excitation and inhibition in the brain, which is essential for proper brain function.

In summary, glutamate’s abundance and central role in synaptic transmission and cognitive functions make it one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain. It is fundamental to neural communication, learning, and memory processes.

A

Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a significant role in the context of the elements you’ve mentioned. Here’s how NO is related to each of them:

  1. Brain: In the brain, nitric oxide serves as a neurotransmitter. It’s involved in various processes, including synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. NO signaling in the brain can impact cognitive function.
  2. Spinal Cord: Nitric oxide also plays a role in the spinal cord, where it can act as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It’s involved in the regulation of sensory information and motor control.
  3. Adrenal Glands: NO has been found to have effects on adrenal gland function. It can influence the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol from the adrenal glands, which are involved in the body’s stress response.
  4. Nerves to the Penis: In the context of sexual function, nitric oxide is crucial. It’s produced in the nerves that lead to the penis and acts as a vasodilator, relaxing blood vessels in the penis. This allows for increased blood flow and is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection.

In summary, nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that has diverse functions throughout the body, including its involvement in neural communication, hormone regulation, and sexual function, making it relevant to the brain, spinal cord, adrenal glands, and nerves to the penis.

100
Q

It is like NO, is not produced in advance and packaged into synaptic vesicles. It too is formed as needed and diffuses out of cells that produce it into adjacent cells. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter produced in the brain and in response to some neuromuscular and neuroglandular functions. It might protect against excess neuronal activity and might be related to dilation of blood vessels, memory, olfaction (sense of smell), vision, thermoregulation, insulin release, and anti- inflammatory activity.
