Question
Answer
Response to spinal cord denervation: Can Parasymp/symp response return to an organ after innervation has been cut?   Yes, over time, the organ will increase its sensitivity to the neurotransmitter by increasing the number of receptors (Upregulation). **pupil dilation will return after sup cervical ganglionectomy  
🗑
How do Parasymp and symp preganglionic cells differ in their postganglionic synapses   Parasymp: Pregang synapse with FEW postgang cells. Symp: Pregang synapse with MANY postgang (also has a bigger response due to chromaffin cells)  
🗑
Function of Alpha 2 adrenergic receptors in BOTH symp and Parasymp   A2 receptors are located on the presynaptic neuron axon terminal membrane. NE/E binds and causes inhibitory response (Cl- influx or K+ efflux). This makes the symp signaling brief and turns off parasymp when symp are very active.  
🗑
What type of process is Vasodilation?   PASSIVE. it is a decrease in sympathetic tone (firing) to the BL vessels. **Less than the normal resting tone.  
🗑
What happens to the BL vessels if there is an increased sympathetic tone/ firing rate   Vasoconstriction. **Unless there is a higher density of B2 receptors and Epi has been released in the BL by the chromaffin cells.  
🗑
Referred pain: Erythema in response to gallbladder infection?   B/c the sensory afferents synapse at the same level as the symp cutaneous efferents (A2 rec), vasodilation can occur in the right upper quadrent due to increased inhibition of symp tone. **Also synapses with a motor neurons of abdominal muscles (Firmin  
🗑
Hyperesthesia   Increased sensitivity to touch. Caused convergence of peripheral and abdominal afferents going to pain centers in brain  
🗑
Hyperalgesia   Increased sensitivity to pain. Caused convergence of peripheral and abdominal afferents going to pain centers in brain  
🗑
Main control centers in the Medulla Oblongata   1.Circulatory Center. 2.Respiratory Center.  
🗑
Main control centers in the Pons   1.Micturition (INHIBITION 99% of time).  
🗑
What is the central monitor of ANS?   Hypothalumus. Receives inputs from midbrain, CSF, and BL

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.
