Q

nicotinic cholinergic receptor are

A

Ach- gated channels

20
Q

in somatic neuron the pathways between CNS and effector cell is ___ and it releases what

A

monosynaptic, ACh to bind to nicotinic receptors

21
Q

where does the adrenal medulla develop from

A

same embryonic tissue as sympathetic neurons

22
Q

a modified postganglionic sympathetic neuron that receives a synaptic contact form preganglionic sympathetic neuron and releases ACh

A

Chromaffin cell

23
Q

physiological responses that occur as a direct result of muscarinic cholinergic receptor stimulation

A

bronchoconstriction, secretion of gastric acid, decreased heart rate, constriction of the pupil

24
Q

what nervous system controls pupillary constriction due to bright light

A

parasympathetic

25
Q

what nervous system controls pupillary dilation due to dim light

A

sympathetic nervous system

26
Q

when the ciliary muscle is relaxed the lens is ___ for ___ vision

A

flat, far

27
Q

when the ciliary muscle contracts the lens is more _____ for ____ vision

A

convex, near

28
Q

which drug can be used to dilate the pupil

A

muscarinic cholinergic antagonist

29
Q

parasympathetic does what for the eye

A

constricts pupil, contracted ciliary muscles

30
Q

sympathetic does what for the eye

A

dilates the pupil and relaxes the ciliary muscle

31
Q

varicosities are

A

sites of synaptic contact between autonomic postganglionic neuron and its target cells

32
Q

what does varicosities arrangement do

A

increases the number of targets that a single axon branch can influence

33
Q

what do chromatin cells release

A

epinephrine and some release norepinephrine

34
Q

what do most postganglionic sympathetic neurons release and what does it act on

A

norepinephrine and acts on target cells through adrenergic receptors

35
Q

what has its cell body in a ganglion

A

postganglionic neuron

36

Q

the somatic nervous system controls what

A

skeletal muscle

38
Q

the autonomic nervous system controls what

A

smooth muscle, various glands, and cardiac muscle

39
Q

a dynamical balanced between the autonomic branches

A

homeostasis

40

A

sympathetic

41

42
Q

Nm

A

muscle type found in skeletal muscle

43
Q

Nn

A

neural type found in CNS and PNS ( ANS)

44
Q

a special adaptation of the sympathetic divison

A

adrenal medulla

45

post ganglionic cells release ___ and ____ into the blood stream

A

norepinephrine and epinephrine
