Q

Sympathetic Receptors

A

alpha, beta 1 and beta 2.
When the alpha receptor is stimulated by epinephrine or norepinephrine, the arteries constrict. This increases the blood pressure and the blood flow returning to the heart

Q

Parasympathetic Receptors

A

muscarinic receptors and nicotinic receptors
receptor is stimulated, it causes a decrease in the heart rate, a decrease in heart contractility and a decrease in the size of the bronchioles. When we are at rest, we can slow down and conserve energy.

Q

Sympathetic Neurotransmitter

A

All preganglionic fibers release ACH. Most postganglionic fibers release norepinephrine fibers. Postganglionic serving sweat glands release
ACH.
Neurotransmitter activity is augumented by release of adrenal medullary hormones
(Norepinephrine and epinephrine)

Q

Dual innervation

A

Parasympathetic promotes maintain equal functions and conserves energy
And the sympathetic mobilizes body
Both serve same organs but cause opposite effects. While one stimulates certain smooth muscles to contract or gland to secrete the other inhibits that action.

A

Caused by inflammation of trigeminal nerve, considered to produced most excruciating pain. In the face. A loop of artery view that compresses the trigeminal nerve near its exit from brainstem.

Q

Parkinson’s Disease

A

Degeneration of dopamine. As neurons deteriorate the dopamine deprived basal nuclei they target becomes overactive.
GABA is a possible future treatment. This inhibits the abnormal Brian activity just as the electrical stimulation does and alleviating tremors

Q

Motion sickness

A

Appears to be due to sensory input mismatches
Your vestibular apparatus detects movement and sends impulses that disagree with the visual information. Brain is confused when received by cortex

Perineurium
Binds groups of axons into bundles called axons
26
Epineurium
Around the fascicles. | From dura matter of cns
27
Nerves
Bundles of axons outside CNS. Along with associated connective tissues and blood vessels Part of Peripheral Nervous System

II. Optic
Yes sensory only | Vision

VI. | Abducens
Motor Movement of eye to move eyeball laterally
34
VII. | Facial
Mixed ``` Mixed nerves that chief motor nerves of face Controls facial expressions Secretion of tears and saliva Taste Impaired by Bell's palsy ```

42
Spinal nerve
Mixed nerves | Carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between spinal cord and body
43
Roots Vs Rami
Rootlets extend out of spinal cord medially and combine to forms ROOTS The roots combine to form the spinal nerve and then they split apart again and again and called RAMI. The dorsal root is posterior to the ventral (front) root
44
Spinal nerves Plexuses
Except for T2-T12 anterior rami do not go directly to body structures but instead form plexus
45
Shingles
Inflammation of virally infected sensory neurons serving the skin
46
Reflexes
Fast involuntary, unplanned sequence of actions that occur in response to stimulus
47
Somatic reflexes
Involves contraction of skeletal muscles Monosynaptic or polysynaptic Motor and sensory part of reflex arc Receptor is necessary
48
Reflexes Autonomic reflex
Involved contraction of smooth or cardiac muscle or stimulation of gland. Often not perceived consciously
49
Reflex Arc
The nerve pathway involved in a reflex action including at its simplest sensory nerve and motor nerve with a synapse between
50
Flexor reflex
The withdrawal reflex( nociceptive or flexor withdrawal reflex) is a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli
51
Monosynaptic reflex arc
Synapse with motor neuron
52
Polysynaptic
Synapse with one or more interneurons as well as motor neuron
53
Stretch reflex
Maintains muscle tone in large postural muscles, adjusts it reflexively Causes muscle contraction in response to increased muscle length ( stretch) Receptors are muscle spindles
54
Diagnostic value of testing reflex activity
Assessing condition of the Nervous System. Indicates degeneration or pathology of portions of the nerves, can pin point an area of a spinal cord Injury.
55
Patellae reflex
Excited muscle spindles of quads. Afferent femoral nerve to Effexor nerve to make contrAction. And hamstring to resist
56
somatic neurons
``` Somatic Voluntary effectors: strained muscles Single motor neuron from spinal cord to target organ NT always stimulatory ACH released at synapse Effector at rest is flaccid Function posture and movement ```
57
Autonomic
``` Involuntary effectors Smooth & cardiac muscle glands Usually 2 neurons with synapse (Ganglion) between from spinal cord to target organ ACH and Ne released at synapse Effector at rest has intrinsic tone NT stimulators or inhibitory Visceral functions, including movement in internal organs and secretion; control of metabolism ```
58
Glands that receive sympathetic input
Skin | Sweat glands, arrector pilli, vasculature, and adrenal glands
59
Pupil of eye
Sympathetic Dilated Parasympathetic Constricts
60
Salivary glands
Sympathetic Mucus enzymes Parasympathetic Watery secretion
61
Heart
Sympathetic Increases rate and forces of contraction Parasympathetic Slows rate
62
Lungs
Sympathetic Bronchioles dislates Parasympathetic Bronchioles constrict
63
Digestive tracts
Sympathetic Decreases motility and secretion Parasympathetic Increased motility and secretion
64
Sensation
Conscious or subconscious detention of changes in the extern or internal environment
65
Perception
Is the conscious awareness and interpretation of sensations
66
Sensory modality
One unique type of sensation General senses- somatic and visceral Receptors Special senses- Receptors for smell, taste vision hearing and equilibrium
67
Process of sensation
``` Stimulation Transduction of the stimulus (converts to graded potential) Generation of nerve impulses Integration of sensory input To certain regions of cerebral cortex ```
