Q

the locus coeruleus contains neurons that have

A

epinephrine

21
Q

epinephrine has a greater effect in stimulating alpha or beta receptors?

22
Q

norepinephrine has a greater effect in stimulating alpha or beta receptors?

23
Q

known as the craniosacral division

A

parasympathetic ANS

24
Q

ratio of preganglionic:postganglionic fibers in parasympathetic NS

25
Q

ionotropic receptor in parasympathetic ANS

26
Q

m1 receptor - function

A

secretion of gastric acid

27
Q

m2 receptor - function

A

most abundant receptor, in smooth muscles

28
Q

m3 receptor - function

A

smooth muscles

29
Q

m4 receptor - function

A

autonomic ganglia

30
Q

m5 receptor

A

spinchter of pupil, esophagus, parotid gland

31
Q

exceptions to the rule that Ach is used only by parasympathetic effectors

A
  1. anatomically sympathetic postganglionic neurons that innervate sweat glands
  2. anatomically sympathetic postganglionic neurons that innervate blood vessels in muscles
32
Q

systemic arterial tone - sympathetic or parasympathetic

A

sympathetic

33
Q

GIT - sympathetic or parasympathetic

A

parasympathetic

34
Q

heart - sympathetic or parasympathetic is dominant

A

parasympathetic

35
Q

why does the sympathetic system have more widespread effects?

A
  1. more divergence
  2. lasts longer
  3. neurotransmitter used is not easily degraded
36
Q

neurotransmitter in parasympathetic system

37
Q

neurotransmitter in sympathetic system

A

epinephrine, norepinephrine

38
Q

system that promotes survival in crisis state

A

sympathetic

39
Q

system that promotes survival in safe state

A

parasympathetic

40
Q

baroreceptors synapse with which nucleus

A

nucleus tractus solitarius

41
Q

function of parasympathetic

A

rest and digest

  1. conservation and restoration of body energy
  2. waste elimination
  3. decrease in heart rate (which will decrease energy demand)
  4. increase in GIT activity (restoration of energy)
42
Q

function of sympathetic

A

response to stress or danger (fight or flight)

43
Q

ganglionic cholinergic receptor

44
Q

cardiac cholinergic receptor

45
Q

bronchial, glandular, cholinergic receptor

46
Q

only adrenergic receptor that uses IP3/DAG for 2nd messenger

47
Q

only cholinergic receptor that uses IP3/DAG for 2nd messenger

48
Q

muscarinic receptor - ionotropic or metabotropic

A

metabotropic
