Function of Parasympathetic
not immediate
returns the body functions to normal after they have been altered by sympathetic stimulation.
7 Traits by Parasympathetic System:
SLUDDSA Sleep Lacrimination Urination Digestion Deification Salivation Sexual Arousal
What is the principla neurotransmitter in all autonomic ganglia?
Acetylcholine
What is the only neurotransitter in the motor division of the somatic nervous system?
Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions of skeletal muscle causes:
excitatory effect; contraction
Acetylcholine in cardiac tissue causes:
inhibitory effects ; lower heart rate
Two effects of acetylcholine?
- nicotinic
2. muscarinic
Nicotinic effects
post synaptic side of the neuromuscular junction is skeletal voluntary muscles.
Muscarinic effects
post ganglionic parasympathetic effect on the exocrine glands and on smooth cardiac muscles. (involuntary)
what type of Ach receptor is ionotropic? (ligand gated) in response to neurotransmitters?
Nicotinic
What Ach receptor is metabotropic and is coupled with G-proteins to change postsynaptic cells?
Muscarinic
Where are ionotropic receptors located?
muscle end plates
parasympathetic autonomic ganglia
the CNS
what stimulates Nicotinic ionotropic receptors?
Nicotine, acetylcholine
2 types of Nicotinic receptors:
muscular type
neuronal type
What type of receptors does curare inhibit?
muscle type nicotinic ionotropic receptor.
