ANS Flashcards
(45 cards)
Function of somatic nervous system?
- activate skeletal muscle contration
- sensory/afferent go to CNS
- motor/efferent go from CNS to skeletal muscle
- VOLUNTARY
autonomic nervous system function?
- smooth muscle, cardiac, metabolic activities
- INVOLUNTARY
primary NT in the sympathetic NS?
parasympathetic NS?
- Norepi
- ACH
where is ACH released?
- all autonomic ganglia (sym and parasym)
- parasym neuroeffector junction
- somatic neuromuscular junction
Epi is released from where?
adrenal medulla in response to activation of sympathetic
Dopamine is released where?
peripheral sympathetic fibers
parasym effects
- rest and digest
- specific response
- increase GI function
- increase urination
- decrease HR
- bronchoconstriction
sym effects
- fight or flight
- diffuse response
- increased heart rate
- bronchodilation
- decreased GI function
- decreased urination
pupil adrenergic receptor
A1
heart rate adrenergic receptor
B1
smooth muscle adrenergic receptor
B2
gastric secretion adrenergic receptor
B
pancreas secretion adrenergic receptor
A
arteries/veins adrenergic receptor and liver adrenergic receptor
A1/B2
salivary secretion adrenergic receptor
A1, B
effects of stimulating muscarinic receptors (ACH)
Salivation Lacrimation Urination Defacaion GI motility Erection also decrease HR, bronchoconstriction
effects of stimulating nicotinic receptors (ACH)
opposite effects of muscarinic
tachycardia, HTN
A1 adrenergic receptors function
- constrict blood vessels
- constrict vascular smooth muscle
A2 adrenergic receptors function
-inhibition of NE release from nerve endings at pre-synaptic post ganglionic neuron
B1 adrenergic receptor function
- cardiac stimulation (increase HR)
- increased lipolysis
B2 adrenergic receptor function
- smooth muscle relaxation
- glycogenolysis in liver/muscle
direct agonists work by activating
postsynaptic receptors
indirect agonists work by
- stimulating release in NT
- inhibit reuptake of NT
- inhibit metabolism of NT
direct antagonists work by
blocking postynaptic receptors
