Symp: bronchodilation B2-R
Parasympathetic: brinchoconstriction M3
What are the innervations of bronchial glands ?
Symp: decrease secretion B2-R

What are the innervations of smooth muscle in the walls of the GI tract?
Supymoathetic: relaxation a, B2
Parasympathetic: increased gut paralysis M3
What are the innervations of the sphincters smooth muscle in the GI tracts?
Sympathetic: contraction a1
Parasympathetic: relaxation M
What are the innervations of the glands of the GI tract?
Sympathetic: inhibition a1
Parasympathetic: stimulation M

Sympathetic: relaxation M3
Parasympathetic: contraction M3
What are the innervations of the internal urethral sphincter?
Sympathetic: contraction a1
Parasympathetic: relaxation M
What is the innervation of Juxtaglomerular cells?
Sympathetic: increased renin release B1
What is the innervation of the chromaffin cell of the adrenal medulla?
Sympathetic: increased renin release Nicotinic neuronal receptors
What are the symptoms of Horner syndrome ?
Ptosis (slight dropping of the eyelid)
Anhidrosis (absence of sweating)
Miosis (pupil construction )
What are the causes of the Horner syndrome?
Sympathetic enervation of the face
1st neuron: pontine hemorrhage
2nd neuron: pancoast tumor (Stella the ganglion compression)
3rd neuron: carotid dissection
Describe the baroreflex response
- Afferent neuron-sensory input from the viscera:
- drop in blood pressure
- reduced stretch of baroreceptors in the aortic arch
- Reduced frequency of afferent impulses to the medulla (brain stem)
2. Reflex response- efferent reflex impulses via the autonomic nervous system - inhibition of parasympathetic and activation of sympsthetic nervous system
- increased peripheral resistance and cardiac output
- Increased blood pressure
What disorders affect the baroreflex response without the detectable nerve disease?
Vasovagal syncope or situational syncope 130 million people have had greater than or equal to 1
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy 10,000 new cases/year
What disorders that affect the baroreflex function that heave a pathological substrate?
Metabolic disorders: diabetes mellitus 25 million people (20-30% of patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes )
Neurodegenerative disorders:
- Parkinson’s disease 800,000 people
- Dementia with Lewy bodies 600,000 people
- Multiple system atrophy 15,000 people
Spinal cord injury (above T6)
Acute brain injury 150,000 people
Chemotherapy-induced and toxic autonomic neuropathies 50,000 people
Immune mediated and paraneoplastic autonomic disorders less than 5000 people-Guillian Barre syndrome
What are the symptoms associated with efferent Barorefkex dysfunction for EFFERENT baroreflex failure?
- diabetes mellitus
- Parkinson’s disease
- dementia with Lewy bodies
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension
What are the symptoms associated with baroreflex dysfunction in the AFFERENT baroreflex failure?
Acquired:
- Damage to IX and X fibers due to radiotherapy to the neck, radical neck surgery, endarterectomy
- Giuliano barre syndrome
Headache, flushing, agitation, unstable blood pressure throughout the day
What is orthostatic hypotension?
A sustained fall in blood pressure of atleast 20/10 mm Hg within 3 minutes after assumption of an upright posture
What are the causes of orthostatic hypotension?
- Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension: dysfunction of the autonomic fibers of the baroreflex
- Other cases: medications, cardiac arrythmias, dehydration, anemia, hemorrhage
