25
2 opposing ways sympathetic nervous system affects skeletal muscle arteries
1. nerves transmit NA onto a1 receptors causing vasoconstriction 2. adrenal medulla secretes adrenaline onto b2 causing vasodilation
26
release and affects of adrenaline on skeletal muscle arterioles
this hormone is released by adrenal medulla and causes vasodilation of these vessels via b2 receptors
27
change in percent blood flow to skin from rest to exercise
blood flow to this organ from rest to exercise is 9-11%
28
change in percent blood flow to skeletal muscle from rest to exercise
blood flow to this organ from rest to exercise is 20-73%
29
change in percent blood flow to kidneys from rest to exercise
blood flow to this organ from rest to exercise is 20-3%
30
why does TPR increase in static exercise?
1. increase venous return to heart | 2. occludes arteries and prevents tissue perfusion
31
Fick principle
equation showing that CO is related to O2 consumption
32
innervations of vagus nerves (2)
1. parasympathetic to thoracic and abdominal viscera | 2. afferent and efferent to striated muscles of pharynx and larynx
33
path of vagus nerve
medulla oblognata -> out skull -> through carotid sheath b/w int jugular and internal/common carotid artery -> thoracic inlet b/w venous and arterial planes -> oesophageal hiatus (T10)
34
vagus nerves give preganglionic branches to which autonomic plexuses? (3)
1. pulmonary 2. cardiac 3. oesophageal
35
what do vagus nerves become as oesophagus leaves thorax?
these nerves reform as anterior (mainly L) and posterior (mainly R) trunks
36
where is cell body of efferent motor neurone found?
cell body of this neurone is found in anterior grey horn
37
where is cell body of afferent neurone found?
cell body of this neurone is found in dorsal root ganglion
38
which 2 places can parasympathetic preganglionic cell bodies lie in?
1. nuclei of cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X | 2. grey matter of spinal cord S 2, 3, 4
39
which 2 places can parasympathetic postganglionic cell bodies lie in?
1. special ganglia of head and neck | 2. close to viscera they supply, where they contribute to autonomic plexuses
40
where do sympathetic preganglionic cell bodies lie?
cell bodies of these nerves lie in lateral grey matter of thoracic spinal cord b/w T1-L2
41
pathway of sympathetic signal to umbilicus (T10)
lateral horn -> white ramus communicante -> sympathetic trunk at T10 -> grey ramus communicante -> umbilicus
42
length of sympathetic trunk
extends from atlas and fuses at ganglion impair opposite coccyx
43
Stellate Ganglion
fusion of inferior cervical ganglion and T1 ganglion
44
which sympathetic neurones pass straight through sympathetic trunk and what do they innervate?
splanchnic nerves behave this way unlike other nerves of their kind and reach the abdominal viscera and adrenal gland
45
where do the 3 splanchnic nerves connect from and to?
1. greater: T5-9 to coeliac ganglia (stomach) 2. lesser: T10-11 to superior mesenteric ganglia (midgut) 3. least: T12 to inferior mesenteric ganglia (hindgut)
46
sympathetic innervation to head originate from which spinal cord levels?
sympathetic innervation to this comes from spinal cord levels T1-3
47
sympathetic innervation to upper limb originate from which spinal cord levels?
sympathetic innervation to this comes from spinal cord levels T4-6
48
sympathetic innervation to thoracic/abdominal wall come from which spinal cord levels?
sympathetic innervation to this comes from spinal cord levels T1-12 (match dermatome as 2y neurone don't move up/down)
49
sympathetic innervation to lower limb originate from which spinal cord levels?
sympathetic innervation to this comes from spinal cord levels T12-L2
50
outline sympathetic innervation to heart and lungs
sympathetic innervation to these arise from T1-5, ascend trunk to synapse in T1/inferior/middle cervical ganglia, pass down to cardiac plexuses at carina
51
what structure is innervated sympathetically by just one neurone?
adrenal medulla is sympathetically innervated this way
52
Pancoast's tumour
tumour at apex of lung that may affect stellate ganglion, comprising sympathetic supply to head and neck on same side
53
what syndrome can Pancoast's tumour cause and what do they include? (4)
Horner's syndrome 1. ptosis (drooping) of upper eyelid 2. miosis (pupillary constriction) 3. anhydrosis (lack of sweating) 4. flushing of face
54
normal range in pressure in capillaries from arterial to venous end
35mmHg-10mmHg
55
what part of ECG varies w/ HR?
QT interval varies with this
56
what 3 veins enter BCV?
1. internal thoracic vein 2. inferior thyroid vein 3. superior intercostal vein
57
arterial pressure where urinary volume output is normal
urinary volume output is normal at 60
58
what do vagus nerves b/become when they reach oesophagus
L and R combine to form oesophageal plexus
59
where can heart refer pain to?
this structure can refer pain to T1/T2 dermatomes (medial L arm)
60
where do oesophageal branches originate from?
these neural branches original from T4-6
61
symptoms of Takayasu arteritis
- dizziness - visual disturbances - dyspnoea - intermittent claudication upper limbs - asymmetric BP
62
vascular cancer associated w/ HIV/AIDS
Kaposi's sarcoma
63
indication of sufficient lung capacity on a chest X-ray
R diaphragm should be b/w ribs 5 and 6 anteriorly
64
2 things that increase stroke volume
1. contractility | 2. frank-starling
65
BP of pulmonary circulation
12-16mmHg
66
effects of angiotensin (3)
1. vasoconstriction 2. ADH 3. aldosterone (retention of salt and water)
