sympathetic postganglionic nerve terminals that norepinephrine is not at (the 3 exceptions)

A

sweat glands
kidneys
adrenal gland

21
Q

epinephrine (EPI)

released from

A

from adrenal medulla in response to sympathetic signal

22
Q

eyes

sympathetic response

A

pupil dilates (mydriasis)
-dilator pupillae m. contracts (alpha 1)
-ciliary m. relaxes (beta 2)

aqueous humor produced by ciliary epithelium (beta 2)

23
Q

eyes

parasympathetic response

A

pupil constricts (miosis)
-sphincter pupillae m. contracts (M)
-ciliary m. contracts (M)

lacrimal gland produces tears (M)

24
Q

heart

sympathetic response

A

increase HR and force of contraction (beta 1)

25
Q

heart

parasympathetic response

A

decrease HR and force of contraction (M)

26
Q

blood vessels

sympathetic response

A

vasoconstriction in skin, abdomen, renal area (alpha 1)

vessels in skeletal muscle relax (beta 2)

27
Q

blood vessels

parasympathetic response

A

blood vessels not usually innervated by parasympathetic fibers

28
Q

lungs

sympathetic response

A

smooth muscle dilation (beta 2) due to epi released by adrenal gland

29
Q

lungs

parasympathetic response

A

bronchoconstriction (M)

30

36
Q

metabolism

sympathetic response only

A

37
Q

glands

sympathetic response

A

eccrine glands are thermoregulatory

apocrine glands stimulate sweat (alpha 1)
