Nervous System 4 Flashcards
________ Controls the visceral functions of the body by monitoring (sensory) and adjusting (motor) the activity of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands and adipose tissue.
Autonomic Nervous System
A ____ of the brain refers to gray matter in the CNS that have specific job
Center
In the ____ nervous system, Both systems are Involuntary, Excitatory & Inhibitory, Di-synapticGenerally oppose one another when they innervate the same tissue.Each system is tonically active, but one system is usually predominant at rest.
Autonomic NS
Fight or Flight•Can selectively activate effectors or elicit a mass discharge, especially during stress response•Noraderenergic (NE)/Adrenergic (EPI)–BUT cholinergic pre- to post-ganglionic
Sympathetic (SNS)
Rest & Digest•Control mechanisms are almost always specific, activating or inhibiting discrete targets.•Cholinergic (ACH)
Parasympathetic (PNS)
_____ neurons are (cell bodies in lateral gray horn of the spinal cord (SNS) or motor nuclei of cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X (PNS))
Preganglionic neurons
In ANS, All preganglionic terminals release ___ that binds to _____ receptors on the postganglionic neuron
Ach; nicotinic receptors (Type NN)
_____ receptors are ligand-gated ion channels (ionotropic) that are selective for both Na+ and K+.
nACh receptors
Thoracolumbar Division (T1 through L3 or L4)B. Preganglionic axons exit through a white ramus into one of the ganglia of the sympathetic chain. Fibers will then either 1.Synapse with postganglionic neurons at that ganglia 2.Pass up or down the sympathetic chain, then synapse with a different ganglia 3.Pass through the chain and out a sympathetic nerve (Splanchnic) where it will synapse in a peripheral sympathetic ganglion (celiac, superior mesenteric, or inferior mesenteric) 4.EXCEPTION: Adrenal Medulla
Sympathetic Nervous System
Almost all sympathetic postganglionic terminals release ____ at synapse with target cells.
norepinephrine (NE/noradrenaline)
Exception: most sympathetic post-ganglionic terminals release ____ at sweat glands to activate muscarinic receptors. Some skeletal muscle vasculature also works this way.
ACh
NE activates both ___ and ____ receptors
Alpha and Beta
When stimulated, the adrenal medulla (chromaffin cells) secretes 80% _______ and 20%_____ into the bloodstream.
80% epinephrine (EPI/adrenaline) and 20% NE
____ (Epi or NE) has a slightly greater potency at alpha receptors
NE
_____ receptors: constrict smooth muscle (Gq protein, Increased IP3); increased Ca; vasoconstriction
Alpha 1:
_____ receptors: blocks further NE release (presynaptic receptor) (Giprotein, decreasedcAMP)
Alpha 2
____ has MUCH greater potency at Beta 2 receptors
Epi
____ has slightly greater potency at Beta 3 receptors
NE
____ receptor: increase heart rate & contractility, increase lipolysis, increase renin secretion, increase protein content in saliva (Gs protein:increased cAMP); seen in the heart
Beta 1:
____ receptor: relax smooth muscle, release FA & glucose (Gs protein: increased cAMP); vasodilation
Beta 2
___ receptor: found in adipose tissue (Gs protein: increased cAMP); breaks down fat
Beta 3
Addition of EPI to lidocaine usually extends the duration of anesthesia by at least 50% due to its interaction with ____ receptors that causes vasoconstriction
Alpha 1
