Question 13

somatic NS location of cell body

Answer 13

motor nucleus in anterior grey horn of spinal cord, brainstem nucleus

Question 14

somatic NS NT release

Answer 14

ACh

Question 15

somatic NS effect of NT on target

Answer 15

excitatory - skeletal muscle activity increases

Question 16

autonomic NS preganglionic location

Question 17

autonomic NS preganglionic NT released

Answer 17

ACh

Question 18

autonomic NS pregagnlionic effect of NT on target

Answer 18

excitatory - stimulates action potential in postganglioninc neuron

Question 19

autonomic NS postganglionic location

Answer 19

peripheral ganglion

Question 20

autonomic NS postganglionic NT released

Answer 20

ACh or NA

Question 21

autonomic NS postganglionic effect of NT on target

Answer 21

excitatory - target activity increase, inhibitory - target activity decreases

Question 22

parasympathetic size of axons

Answer 22

preganglionic axon - long, postganglioninc axon - short

Question 23

sympathetic size of axons

Answer 23

preganglionic axon - short, postganglioninc axon - long

Question 24

adrenal medulla

Answer 24

enhance and prolong the sympathetic response

Question 25

preganglionic neurons release

Answer 25

ACh

Question 26

postanglioninc neurons release

Answer 26

sympathetic - NA, parasympathetic - ACh

Question 27

receptors that bind acetylcholie (ACh) are called

Answer 27

cholinergic

Question 28

receptors that bind noradrenaline (NA) are called

Answer 28

adrenergic

Question 29

2 subtypes of cholinergic receptors

Answer 29

nicotinic and muscarinic

Question 30

2 subtypes of adrenergic receptors

Answer 30

alpha, beta

Question 31

beta 1 location

Answer 31

heart

Question 32

beta 1 effect of NT binding

Answer 32

excitatory - increases heart rate and contractions

Question 33

beta 1 location

Answer 33

airways, blood vessels (heart, liver, skeletal muscle), digestive tract, urinary organs

Question 34

beta 1 effect of NT binding

Answer 34

inhibitory - decreased activity

Question 35

alpha 1 location

Answer 35

blood vessels (except heart, liver, skeletal muscles), all sympathetic targets

Question 36

alpha 1 effect of NT binding

Answer 36

excitatory - increased activity

Question 37

agonists

Answer 37

drugs that mimic the action of the NT - promote normal response

Question 38

antagonists

Answer 38

drugs that bind the receptors and block the action of NT - prevent normal response

Question 39

biogenic amines

Answer 39

noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin

Question 40

amino acids

Answer 40

GABA, glutamate

Question 41

neutopeptides

Answer 41

substance P, endorphins
