Q

Electrical stimulation of postganglionic parasymaethic fibre to vessels

A

Acetylcholine and nitric oxide produce a rapid relaxation
The vasoactive intestinal peptide can produce a slow delayed response

Q

Electrical stimulation of postganglionic sympathetic fibre to vessel

A

ATP produces a fast contraction in the smooth muscle
Noradrenaline produces a moderately fast response
Neuropeptide Y produces a slow response

Q

Noradrenaline and adrenaline

A

Noradrenaline and adrenaline are endogenous agonist of a family of adrenoreceptors that are GPCRS
A adrenoceptors -> noradrenline -> adrenaline -> isoprenaline
B adrenoreceptors -> isoprenaline -> adrenaline -> noradrenaline

Q

what is a lower motor neuron

A

Lower motor neuron is neuron synapses are directly responsible for stimulating contraction which allows the generation of force that can lead

Q

what is extrafusal and intrafusal

A

extrafusal is a motorneuron and is the bulk of skeletal muscle fibres
Intrafusal is by y motorneuron and is the remaining speclaised fibres

Q

Stretch Myotatic Reflex

A

muscle stretch and group 1a afferent fibres in the muscle spindle start firing
these synapses on the motorneuron same muscle from which the group 1a afferent relayed the sensory information a motorneuron indcue contraction of skeletal muscle and the muscle returns to resting and firing la decrease

Q

Inverse Myotatic Reflex

A

muscle contracts, extrafusal fibres shorten and stimulate golgi tendon
group 1b afferent start firing and send sensory information to inhibitory interneurons they synapse on the spinal cord
inhibitory interneuron synapse on the a motorneuron muscle returns tot he resting length and firing frequency of group 1b decreases
synergist muscle also relax and antagonist muscle contracts

Q

Flexion withdrawl reflex

A

The leg that feels the pain the reflex inhibits in reflex inhibits the spinal cord extensor and estimates flexor
the opposite leg reflex stimulates spinal cord the motor neurons to extensor muscle and inhibits the motor neurons to the flexor

Q

Not all baroreceptors are created equal

A

Carotid sinus baroreceptors are more sensitive
the cause greater changes in blood pressure that aortic arch baroreceptors

Q

Long-term control differs

A

Long-term control differs
Relies on the control of blood volume
Think control of cardiac output by Starling’s law of the heart
Involves kidney
