Physiology 2 - Pulmonary Physiology Flashcards
What are the two Divisions of the ANS?
- Sympathetic nervous system
- Parasympathetic nervous system
What is the Sympathetic Division?
- only kicks in during exertion, stress, or emergency
- “fight or flight”
What are some characteristics of the Sympathetic Chain Ganglia?
- Preganglionic neurons: limited to spinal cord segments T1-L2
- white rami (myelinated preganglionic fibers)
- innervate neurons in cervical, inferior, lumbarm and sacral sympathetic chain ganglia
What does SAN BEAN mean?
Sympathetic preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine that bind to nicotinic receptors
Postganglionic: beta receptors bind epinephrine and alpha receptors bind norepinephrine
What is the Parasympathetic Division?
- Control during resting conditions
- “rest and digest”
What does PAN AM mean?
Parasympathetic preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine which bind nicotinic receptors
Postganglionic: acetylcholine binds to muscarinic receptor
What do Alpha-1 receptors do and where are they found?
Excitatory
Innervate blood vessels
What do Alpha-2 Receptors do and where are they found?
RAD (relax and dilate)
innervate blood vessels
What do Beta-1 Receptors do and where are they found?
Excitatory
innervate heart
What do Beta-2 Receptors do and where are they found?
RAD (relax and dilate)
Innervate lungs
What do Beta-3 Receptors do and where are they found?
Excitatory
Innervate fat cells
What is the Primary muscle of respiration?
Diaphragm
What are the Muscles used in Forced Inspiration?
- External intercostals
- Scalenes
- Sternomastocleioid
What are the Muscles Used in Forced Expiration?
- TIRE
- Transverse Abdominus
- Internal Obliques
- Rectus Abdominus
- External Obliques
- Inner Intercostals
What is the difference between capacity and volume?
Capacity = sum of two or more volumes
