A

In some vascular smooth muscle

25
Q

Where are B1 receptors found?

A

In the heart

26
Q

Where are B2 receptors found?

A

In respiratory and vascular smooth muscle

27
Q

What is the opposite of the B1 receptor?

A

The M2 receptor

28
Q

When stimulated, what does A1 do?

A

- Increases vasoconstriction through contraction of vascular smooth muscle

  • Increases HR
  • Increases the force of contraction of the heart
  • Pupil dilation
  • Constricts sphincters
29
Q

When stimulated, what does A2 do?

A

- Inhibits noradrenaline release

30
Q

When stimulated, what does B1 do?

A
  • Increases the force of contraction of the heart (SV)

- Increases HR by decreasing the SA-AV node delay

  • Increases CO (SV X HR)
31
Q

When stimulated, what does B2 do?

A

- Bronchodilates

- Increases Vasodilation

  • Inhibit histamine released from Mast cells
  • Increase Renin secretion
  • Increases contraction in GI sphincters

44
Q

A

Both the Sympathetic and Para-sympathetic nervous systems

47
Q

What part of the Autonomic nervous system are Muscarinic receptors?

A

Post-ganglion Para-sympathetic

48
Q

What part of the Autonomic nervous system are Alpha receptors?

Post-ganglion Sympathetic

49
Q

What part of the Autonomic nervous system are Beta receptors?

Post-ganglion Sympathetic

50
Q

What is the exception for the Adrenal Medulla?

A

There is no post-ganglionic neurone. Pre-gangionic ACh stimulates Nicotinic receptors in the adrenal medulla. This then stimulates the secretion of adrenaline into the bloodstream where it acts on adrenergic receptors.

A

Short

52
Q

What is the length of post-ganglionic sympathetic neurones?

Long

53
Q

What is the length of pre-ganglionic para-sympathetic neurones?

54
Q

What is the length of post-ganglionic para-sympathetic neurones?

A

55
Q

Where do the sympathetic nerves exit the spinal cord?

A

They leave at T1-L2, and pass into splanchnic nerves to supply organs.

56
Q

Where do para-sympathetic nerves exit the spinal cord?

A

They have a cranialsacral outflow.

Exit cranial nerves : III, VII, IX, X

The Vagus nerve supplies organs of the head, neck, chest, abdomen and mid-gut.

Sacral Spinal nerves supply the organs of the hindgut, pelvis and perineum.
