Q

Glassopharyngeal (9)

A

Parotid salivary gland

21
Q

Vagus (10)

A 
90% of the parasympathetic supply
Branches into the
Cardiac plexus
Pulmonary plexus
Esophageal plexus
Descending aortic plexus
22
Q

Cardiac plexus

A

Innervates the heart

23
Q

Pulmonary plexus

A

Innervates the lungs and bronchi

24
Q

Esophageal plexus

A

Innervates the esophagus

25
Q

Descending aortic plexus

A

Innervates most abdominal viscera

26
Q

Sacral region of the spinal cord Innervates:

A

Distal half of the large intestine
Urinary bladder
Reproductive organs

27
Q

Location of ganglia (origin of postganglionic fiber)

A

Sympathetic- sympathetic ganglionchain
Collateral ganglion
Adrenal medulla
Parasympathetic- terminal ganglion

28
Q

Sympathetic ganglionchainq

A

Close to the spinal cord

29
Q

Collateral ganglion

A

Midway between the spinal cord and the effector organ

30
Q

Adrenal medulla

A

Internal portion of the adrenal gland

31
Q

Some preganglionic fibers synapse

A

With the adrenal medulla

32
Q

Preganglionic sympathetic fiber releases Ach which binds to N1 receptors on medullary tissue

A

This causes a release of epinephrine and neuroepinephrine into the blood stream
(system wide sympathetic response)

33
Q

Terminal ganglion

A

Close to the effector organ

34
Q

Nicotinic receptor

A

Receptor stimulation by Ach is always excitatory
N1
N2

35
Q

N2

A

On sarcolemma of skeletal tissue (depolarization)

36
Q

N1

A

On all postganglionic cell bodies (at all ganglia in ANS)

On adrenal medulla

37
Q

Muscatinic receptors

A

Receptor stimulation by ch can result in an excitatory or inhibitory response depending on the receptor and the target organ
M1
M2
M3

38
Q

A

Located on neural tissue

Excitatory

39
Q

M2

A

Located on heart

Inhibitory (decrease muscle contraction)

40
Q

M3

A

Located on smooth muscle and glands

Excitatory

41
Q

A

Stimulation is generally excitatory
Except alpha2 on gut muscle

BV serving the external genetalia (M3)
S- blood vessel vaso-constriction (Alpha1)

50
Q
