Cards

Term
Somatic nervous system
Definition
1 neuron
Ach
Nicotinic receptor
excitation
innervates skeletal muscles
voluntary
Term
Autonomic nervous system
Definition
2 neurons
excitation or inhibition
Para & sympathetic nervous systems
Ach or norepephrine
Term
preganglionic neuron
Definition
myelinated
length varies between para(long)/sympathetic (short)
cell body in CNS
Term
postganglionic
Definition
body in autonomic ganglion
unmeylinated
para (short)/ sympathetic (long)
release Ach(para) or norepinephrine (sym)
Term
sympathetic NS
Definition
leave T1-L2
start in intermediolateral horn of spinal cord
ventral horn to paravertebral ganglia
Term
Paravertebra ganglia (routes)
Definition
aka sympathetic chain
3 routes:
1. synapse with postgang. here
2. travel up/down to synapse
3. leave chain, synapse in collateral ganglia
Term
Prevertebral ganglia (collateral)
Definition
3 main ganglia:
celiac
superior mesenteric
inferior mesenteric
Term
exit via spinal nerve innervation
Definition
sweat glands, blood vessels of skin and skeletal muscles
Term
exit via sympathetic nerve innervation
Definition
iris, salivary glands, heart, lungs,esophagus
Term
collateral ganglia innervation ( celiac) (6)
Definition
stomach, spleen, liver, pancreas, small intestine, kidneys
Term
collateral ganglia innervation (superior mesenteric) (3)
Definition
small intestine, colon, kidneys
Term
collateral ganglia innervation ( inferior mesenteric)
Definition
rectum, urinary bladder, reproductive organs
Term
Special case of the Adrenal Gland
Definition
within medulla have chromaffin cells
innervated by preganglionic sympathetic nerves
secrete epinephrine/norepinephrine directly into blood stream
Term
parasympathetic NS
Definition
from brain stem (III, VII,IX,X) and sacral region (leave intermediolateral through pelvic splanhnic nerves)
Term
Acetylcholine
Definition
secreted by cholinergic
all pregang.
para postgang
symp postgang. that innervate sweat glands
Term
Norepinephrine
Definition
symp postgang
20% of release in adrenal medulla secretion
Term
epinephrine
Definition
secreted by adrenal medulla (80%)
Term
cholinergic receptors
Definition
Ach

nicotinic (autonomic ganglia, NMJ, adrenal medulla)
muscarinic (cardiac muscle, sweat glands, smooth muscle, glands)
Term
adrenergic receptors
Definition
Norepinephrine and Epinephrine

Alpha and Beta
A1& B1- excitation
A2-inhibition
B2-relaxation
Term
Norepinephrine breakdown
Definition
monamine oxidase (MAO)
cathechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT)
Term
epinephrine breakdown
Definition
cathecol-o-myethlytransferase
Term
Effects of sym/para on Heart
Definition
b1- increase heart rate/contractibility
Term
Effects of sym/para on vascular smooth muscle
Definition
skin blood vessels(a1)- contract
skeletal blood vessels (b2)- dilate
Term
Effects of sym/para on bronchioles
Definition
B2- bronchodilation/ bronchoconstriction
Term
Effects of sym/para on GI
Definition
majority is B2 except internal anal sphincter ( a1)
Term
Effects of sym/para on bladder
Definition
Detrusor muscle (β2) relaxation
Internal urethral sphincter (α1) constriction
Term
Effects of sym/para on sweat
Definition
increase sweat production (sym)
Term
Effects of sym/para on eye
Definition
(β2) dilation of radial muscle
Term
types of Dual innervation
Definition
Both parasympathetic and sympathetic
antagonstic- para and sym have opposite effect ( heart)
cooperative- two work togetyer to get a similar response

ex. GI tract, bronchioles, heart, eye ( circular/radial)
Term
organs without dual innervation
Definition
adrenal medulla (pregang sympathetic)
sweat glands(sympathetic)
most blood vessels
Term
Micturition reflex
Definition
involuntary: distentin of bladder (visceral reflex) stimulates sensory fibers- information travels to sacral spinal cord- gets integrated-signal comes back via parasympathetic fibers in pelvic nerve- stimulate efferent fibers to excite (contract) detrusor muscles and relax muscles in internal urethral sphincter allow for urination
voluntary- decide if appropriate time to go: micturition center in pons receives information from stretch receptors- is appropriate- pons returns signal to spinal neurons to excite detrusor muscle and relax internal urethral sphincter.
if not- through somatic motor neurons to keep sphincter closed
Term
pupillary reflex
Definition
light is shown in eyes, stimulates photoreceptors- signal through optic nerve to midbrain where neuron synapse with pretectal nucleus. Neurons then project to Edinger Westphal nucleus- para pregang. neurons travel/synapse on neurons in ciliary ganglion. these innervate sphincter muscles in iris
Term
Direct and consensual response of pupillary reflex
Definition
direct: shine light in eye and the stimulated eye will constrict
consensual: the unstimulated eye will also constrict.
Term
Components of Brain Stem
Definition
medulla oblangata, pons, midbrain & hypothalamus
Term
Medulla Oblangata control
Definition
blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, swallowing, tonic activity
Term
Pons control
Definition
respiration and micturition
Term
Midbrain control
Definition
pupillary constriction and dilation
Term
hypothalamus control
Definition
control sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
Term
sympathomimetic drugs
Definition
adrenergic agonists
phenylephrine (a1)
isoproterenol (b)
albuterol (b2)
Term
sympatholytics
Definition
adrenergic antagonists
phentolamine (a)
propanolol (b)
Term
parasympathomimetic
Definition
muscarinic agonists- pilocarpine
Term
parasympatholytics
Definition
muscarinic antagonists- atropine
