Peripheral Nerves and ANS Flashcards
from skin, muscle, and joints
somatic afferents
from organs; can travel through the spinal cords or vagus from medulla
visceral afferents
Types of afferent receptors (3)
- ) nociceptors
- ) mechanoreceptors
- ) proprioceptors
detect pressure or stretch
mechanoreceptors
respond to chemicals
nociceptors
detect changes in muscle or tendon length/tension ; help to sense positioning
proprioreceptors
motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates
motor unit
antagonist/block neuronal Na+ channels
tetrodotoxin
antagonist/blocks Ca2+ channel
Conotoxin
antagonist for ACH release
botulinum toxin
antagonist for acetylcholinesterase
physostigmine
agonist for AChR channel (2)
1.) Ach 2.) nicotine
antagonist for AChR channel
tubocurarine, curare
Three things that occur during inspiration
- ) HR increases
- ) Decrease in parasympathetic output from ANS
- ) Increases in cardiac pacemaker
3 things during expiration
- ) HR decreases
- ) increase in parasympathetic output from ANS
- ) slows cardiac pacemaker

TRUE
True/False: Alpha 2 has more affinity for epi
TRUE
Beta 1 has more affinity for ___.
Epi
increases heart rate and cardiac contractility
beta 1
