(35 cards)
What do all preganglionic neurons release? (Para and symp)
ACH
All postganglionic neurons have what kind of receptor? (Para and symp)
Nicotinic
Are nicotinic receptors excitatory or inhibitory?
Excitatory
Parasympathetic neurotransmitters are only? (Neurotransmitter type)
ACH
Where are nicotinic receptors found?
Postganglionic neurons
What is the only example of cooperative effects?
Male sexual function
Erection is part of which division?
Parasympathetic
Most organs display and ____ effect
Antagonistic
Ejaculation is part of which division?
Sympathetic
Parts of male sexual function
- Erection
2. Ejaculation
What is the sympatho-mimetic function?
Imitate the sympathetic nervous system
What is the sympatho-lytic function?
Destroy the sympathetic nervous system
What is the parasympatho-mimetic function?
Imitate the parasympathetic nervous system
What is the parasympatho-lytic function?
Destroy the parasympathetic nervous system
Drug class question: If heart rate is very low what drug(s) should be given?
- Sympatho-mimetic, since it is adrenalin to try to speed heart rate up.
- If no success use Parasympatho-lytic, since it will shut down the parasympathetic division which is causing the slow heart rate.
Drug class question: During an asthma attack what drug(s) should be given?
- Sympatho-mimetic, since it will dilate the currently constricted blood vessels. (remember para has no business with blood vessels)
Drug class question: During an overdose what drug should be given?
- Parasympatho-lytic, since it will stop the digestion of the poison.
