Q

2 basic steps in process by which neurons influence bevhaior of post synaptic cells

A

Axonal conduction, AP travels down neuron

Synaptic transmission - info carried across gap b/w neuron and postsynaptic cell

112
Q

Axonal conduction synaptic transmyssion

A

Most drugs act on altering synaptic transmission, only a few alter axonal conduction.
Synaptic trans can produce more selective effects
Local anesthetics alter axon conduction (not selective as all axons are alike)

Q

5 steps in receptor activiting

A

Transmitter synthesis, storage, release
Receptor binding
Termination of transmission

A

Autonomic which has parasympa and sympa

Somatic motor system voluntary nervous system

Q

Three principal functions of ANS

A

Regulat heart, secretory glands, smooth muscle

Q

Parasympa 7 functions

A

Slow hrt rate, increase GI secretions, empty bladder, empty bowel, focus eye for near vision, constrict pupil, contract smooth muscle

117
Q

Sympa 3 main functions

A

Regulate cardiovasc (bloodflow to brain, dedistribute blood, compensate for blood loss)
Reg of body temp (blood flow to skin, secretion of swetat, piloerection)
Fight or flight (increase hrt and BP, shunt blood from skin/viscera, dilate bronchi, dilate pupils, mobilize stored energy)
