Question
Answer
ANS function   Provides the ability to maintain homeostasis Functions at subconscious level, involved in regulating, adjusting, and coordinating vital visceral function-BP, temp, respirations, digestion, metabolism, elimination Strongly affected by emotional state  
🗑
ANS components   Sympathetic: fight or flight Parasympathetic: rest and digest  
🗑
Ganglia   Group of neurons that work together and are geographically close together  
🗑
Functions of Parasympathetic Nervous System   slowing heart rate, increase gastric secretion, emptying bladder and bowel, focus of eye for near vision, constriction of pupil, contraction of bronchial smooth muscle  
🗑
Functions of Sympathetic Nervous System   Regulation of cardiovascular system, regulation of body temp, implementing fight or flight response  
🗑
Preganglionic neurons and Postganglionic neurons in both PNS and SNS   Pre: neurons that go from the spinal cord to the ganglia Post: Neurons that go from the ganglia to the effector organs  
🗑
Adrenal medulla's function in SNS   Functional equivalent of a postganglionic neuron. Releases Epi which then produces effects much like those that occur in response to the stimulation of postganglionic sympathetic nerves.  
🗑
Somatic Motor System pathway   One neuron from spinal cord to muscles innervated by somatic motor nerves. They only have the neuromuscular junction (between somatic nerve and muscle).  
🗑
Adrenergic receptor function   Mediate responses to epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine transmitters  
🗑
Alpha 1 & beta 1 receptors   Produce excitation  
🗑
Alpha 2 & beta 2 receptors   Produce inhibition  
🗑
Eye response for muscarinic (parasympathetic)   Constriction for near vision  
🗑
Heart response for muscarinic (parasympathetic)   Decrease rate  
🗑
Lung response for muscarinic (parasympathetic)   Constriction of bronchi  
🗑
Bladder response for muscarinic (parasympathetic)   Relaxation  
🗑
GI tract response for muscarinic (parasympathetic)   Increase tone, peristalsis  
🗑
Glands response in parasympathetic   vasodilation  
🗑
Peripheral vessels response in parasympathetic   Dilate  
🗑
Adrenergic receptor subtypes   Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2  
🗑
Nicotinic receptors   Occur on all dendrites and cell bodies of ANS postganglionic neurons, in the adrenal medulla, and at neuromuscular junctions (skeletal muscle) (excitatory)  
🗑
Cholinergic neurons release what   release acetylcholine from preganglionic neurons & from parasympathetic postganglionic neurons  
🗑
What are the two classes of receptors AcH binds to in cholinergic receptors   Nicotinic receptors and muscarinic receptors  
🗑
Alpha 1 activation: uses and side effects   Uses: Hemostasis (local bleed), nasal decongestion, adjunct to local anesthesia (vasoconst will keep anesthesia because it can’t diffuse away quickly), decreased BP, mydriasis (pupil dilation)SE: HTN, necrosis, bradycardia (baroreceptor reflex)  
🗑
Alpha 2 activation   central activation only, decreases symp outflow to heart and vessels Decrease symp outflow: decrease SNS even though you’re stimulating A2  
🗑
Beta 1 activation: Uses and side effects   Uses: Cardiac arrest, heart failure, shock, AV heart block. You will increase heart rate, contraction, BP so it's good to use for these issues. SE: dysrhythmias, angina (if you inc work, you may not get enough blood)  
🗑
Beta 2 activation: uses and side effects   uses: delay preterm labor, asthma SE: Hyperglycemia: mobilized glucose stores-> inc blood glucose; tremor: albuterol for asthma  
🗑
Dual innervation   Most viscera receive nerve fibers from both parasyp. and symp. divisions (slowing/speeding heart rate) (produces saliva, from two different effectors)  
🗑
What cranial nerves does the parasympathetic innervate   3, 7, 9 and 10  
🗑
Muscarinic receptors   Occur on all gland, smooth/cardiac muscle cells that receives cholinergic innervation (excitatory or inhibitory)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
