The sympathetic preganglionic cell body is where?
CNS
The sympathetic postganglionic is activated by?
Ach at nicotinic receptors
The synapse between sympathetic pre and post ganglion is where?
In the ganglion
The parasympathetic postganglionic is releases?
Ach which binds muscarinic receptors
In the parasympathetic nervous system, what receptor deals with salivation and smooth muscle?
M1R
In the parasympathetic nervous system, what receptor deals with sweating and exocrine gland secretion?
M3R
In the parasympathetic nervous system, what receptor is found in SA node and decreases HR?
M2R
In the sympathetic nervous system, postganglionic release?
NE which binds adrenergic receptors
In the sympathetic nervous system, what receptor deals with smooth muscle contraction?
Alpha-adrenergic
In the sympathetic nervous system, what receptor deals with smooth muscle relaxation?
Beta-adrenergic
In the sympathetic nervous system, what receptor increases HR?
B1
In the sympathetic nervous system, what receptor deals with adipose and increases heat production?
B3
BP is carefully regulated by carotid and aortic baroreceptors (stretch receptors), if BP increases what ensues? If BP decreases?
1) Increase in stretch and AP
2) Decrease
Where do carotid and aortic baroreceptors (stretch receptors) synapse?
Solitary nucleus
The absorption of CSF is within what space?
Subarachnoid
What causes bulk flow of CSF into veins?
Arachnoid villi that extend into venous sinus
An increase in CSF pressure leads to?
Increase in absorption
What happens when you have an increase in pressure but a decrease in absorptive capacity of arachnoid villi?
Hydrocephalus
What causes blood flow to be blocked and the brain to use ANS to increase BP in order to drive blood through vessels?
An increase of intracranial pressure
What transporter is not insulin dependent, moves glucose from blood to CSF, and is located in endothelial cells of capillaries, astroglia, and podcytes?
Glut 1
What transporter is found on neurons and is insulin dependent?
Glut 2
What transporter is found on microglia?
Glut 5
The movement of 1 Na/ 1 K/ 2 Cl from CSF to blood is stimulated by?
Endothelin 1 and 3
What limits brain exposure to systemically delivered drugs?
P-Glycoprotein
What maintains ionic composition, protects from exo/endogenous poison and prevents escape of NT?
BBB
What are the parts of brain without good BBB?
Circumventricular organs
What does the circumventricular organ, posterior pituitary not have a BBB?
Due to hormone release
What does the circumventricular organ, Area Postrema not have a BBB?
So it can detect blood-born chemicals and induces vomit
What does the circumventricular organ, organum vasculosum of Lamina Terminalis (OVLT) not have a BBB?
Bc it’s an osmoreceptor for ADH
What does the circumventricular organ, subfornical organ not have a BBB?
Due to angiotensin and it activates thirst
When systemic BP increases this causes an increase in sympathetic activation, which increases NE, and causes vasoconstriction. Why is all this done?
Protect BBB
If perfusion pressure decreases, what will brainstem centers do?
Increase BP
A sign of increased ICP is?
Increased BP
What type of potential is excitatory, localized depolarization, and makes cell excitable more likely for AP to happen?
EPSP
What type of potential is inhibitory, localized hyperolaration, and less likelihood of AP?
IPSP
What receptor activates adenylate cyclase which increases CAMP and PKA?
Gs
What receptor inhibits adenylate cyclase which decreases CAMP and PKA?
Gi
What receptor activates PLC which activates IP3/PIP and DAG leading to an increase in Ca2+ release and the activation of PKC?
Gq
Of the four major pathways for dopamine, which one controls voluntary motion?
Substantia Nigra
Of the four major pathways for dopamine, which one goes from VTA to Nucleus Accumbens and is involved in pleasure/reward?
Mesolimbic
Of the four major pathways for dopamine, which one goes from VTA to cortex and is involved in attention and higher level of consciousness?
Mesocortical
Of the four major pathways for dopamine, which one goes from hypothalamus to anterior pituitary and in involved in decrease of prolactin release?
Tuberoinfundibular
What is found in locus coeruleus and is involved in wake-up and awareness?
NE
What is the hormone released by adrenal medulla?
Epi
What stores catecholamines and is found in adrenal medulla?
VMAT1
What stores catecholamines and is found in neuronal cells?
VMAT2
What inhibits VMAT1/2?
Reserpine
What NT is found in midline Raphe Nuclei, is derived from tryptophan, and is involved with attention and mood?

MAO
What is found in tuberomammillary body and is involved in wakefulness?

What Histamine receptor mediates neuronal effects of histamine?
H1 and H2
What degrades histamine in order to remove it from the cleft?
Diamine oxidase
What moves Ach to clear vesicles in order to control its release?
