Physiology Flashcards
Root of sympathetic outflow
Root of parasympathetic outflow
T1-L2
Cranial - 3/7/9/10 and sacral S2-S4
Separation of cranial outflow
Superior
Middle
Inferior - combined as part of sympathetic stellate ganglion
Separation of sympathetic outflow
1) Paravertebral sympathetic chain
2) Splanchnic vessels to coeliac ganglion and superior mesenteric
3) To chromaffin cells in adrenal medulla
Which 3 neurons in the ANS are ACh released from
1) Pre and post ganglionic parasympathetic neurons
2) All pre ganglionic sympathetic neurons
3) Post ganglionic sympathetic neurons to sweat glands
Where neurons/ tissues are adrenergic
1) Post ganglionic sympathetic neurons (apart from sweat glands)
2) A/NA/D secreted from adrenal medulla
Where are muscarinic AChr sited
Effector organs of parasympathetic neurons
Which fibres are B?
Which fibres are C?
Pre ganglionic sympathetic neurons
Post ganglionic neurons
Which subclass of GPCR are
A1
A2
B1
B2
B3
A1 = Gq
A2 = Gi
B1 = Gs
B2 = Gs
B3 = Gs
Effect of A1 (Gq) adrenorececptors
Stimulates phospholipase C to make IP3 and DAG
Increases intracellular calcium
Clinical effect of A1 stimulation
Vasoconstriction
Bronchoconstriction
Contracts uterus
Increased glucose
Effect of A2 (Gi) adrenoreceptors
Inhibits adenyl cyclase
Clinical effect of A2 (Gi) adrenoreceptors
Vasodilation
Sedation
Platelet aggregation
Effect of B1/ B2/ B3 (Gs) adrenorecptors
Stimulates adenyl cyclase to increase cAMP
Clinical effect of B1 stimulation
Increased HR
Increased contractility
Gluconeogenesis
Renin release
Clinical effect of B3 stimulation
Lipolysis
