prefinal Flashcards
It is the part of the nervous system that supplies the internal organs, including the blood vessels, stomach, intestine, liver, kidneys, bladder, genitals, lungs, pupils, heart, and sweat, salivary, and digestive glands.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
It is the part of the nervous system that supplies the internal organs, including the blood vessels, stomach, intestine, liver, kidneys, bladder, genitals, lungs, pupils, heart, and sweat, salivary, and digestive glands.
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
The two main divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System
SYMPATHETIC
PARASYMPATHETIC
Location of the Sympathetic NS
THORACOLUMBAR REGION
Location of the Parasympathetic NS
CRANIOSACRAL REGION
Distance of Presynaptic nerve or Preganglionic nerve in the Sympathetic NS
SHORTER
Distance of Presynaptic nerve or Preganglionic nerve in the Parasympathetic NS.
LONGER
Preganglionic nerve neurotransmitter in Sympathetic NS
ACETYLCHOLINE
Preganglionic nerve neurotransmitter in Parasympathetic NS
ACETYLCHOLINE
Postganglionic or Nerve ending neurotransmitter in Sympathetic NS
NOREPINEPHRINE
Postganglionic or Nerve ending neurotransmitter in Parasympathetic NS
ACETYLCHOLINE
It is active during stress or fight and flight reaction
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
It is active during rest and digestion
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Enzyme present at the nerve ending of Sympathetic NS
Monoamine Oxidase (MAO)
Enzyme present at the nerve ending of Parasympathetic NS
Acetylcholinesterase
Name of Sympathetic NS receptors
ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS / ADRENOCEPTORS
Name of Parasympathetic NS receptors
CHOLINERGIC RECEPTOR / CHOLINOCEPTOR
It is considered to be the parent compound for the alpha drugs.
NOREPINEPHRINE
It is the most clinical effect produced by the alpha-adrenergic drugs.
VASOCONSTRICTION
It functions as neurotransmitter in the brain and is also formed as a precursor in the synthesis of NE.
DOPAMINE
The most important actions of the Beta drugs:
STIMULATION OF THE HEART (BETA 1)
BRONCHODILATION OF THE LUNGS (BETA 2)
It is probably the most potent beta adrenergic drug that produces both effects in heart and respiratory.
