A

head

25
Q

This cranial nerve___ synapses in terminal ganglia located in widespread regions of the body? (Parasympathetic)

A

27
Q

preganglionic fibers from the _____ level innervate the lower half of the large intestine, rectum, urinary and reproductive system

A

sacral

28
Q

This system is fight or flight response? IT releases ____ from postganglionic fibers and _______ from adrenal medulla? Mass activation of this system prepares for intense activity, HR increase, bronchioles dilate and blood glucose increases .

A

sympathetic system, norepinephrine, epinephrine

29
Q

This system is not activated as a whole ______. It releases ACh as a _____ and acts as relaxing effects, decreasing HR, dilates visceral blood vessels and increases digestive activity.

A

parasympathetic system, NT

30
Q

Cholinergic is related to what NT?

A

ACh

31
Q

What NT is released by most postganglionic parasympathetic fibers at synapse with effector?

A

ACh (PARA) dont get confused with SYM

32
Q

Axons of postganglionic neurons have numerous _____ along the axon that contain NT.

A

varicosities

33
Q

What NT is released by most postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers?

A

NE (dont get confused with PARA)

34
Q

Adrenergic is related to what NT?

A

35
Q

What are the catecholamines?

A

Epi, NE and dopamine

36
Q

_____ is released by the adrenal medulla and is synthesized from the same precursor as NE

A

Epi

37
Q

There receptors produce their effect by stimulating production of cAMP and using NE to bind to receptor

A

Beta adrenergic receptors

38
Q

The _____subunit activates adenylate cyclase producing cAMP and cAMP activates ___________, opening ion channels?

A

Alpha and protein kinase

39
Q

This receptor produces its effect by releasing Ca? Epi binds to receptor and Ca binds to _______? This activates protein kinase, modifying enzyme action

A

Alpha 1 adrenegic receptor, calmodulin

40
Q

This receptor can be located on either the pre or post synaptic terminal? When located on the pre it decreases levels of NE and when located on the post it produces vasoconstriction

A

alpha 2 (be sure to read stem for the important info)

41
