ANS 2

Ahrani Vaheesan PHYL2065 English 16 cards

Cards in this deck (16)

  1. 1Sympathetic system & NeurotransmitterPre-ganglion= Acetycholine
    Post-ganglion= Adrenaline/Noradrenaline
  2. 2Parasympathetic system & NeurotransmitterPre and post-ganglion= Acetycholine
  3. 3ANS- Neurotransmitters and Receptors (SNS)AP travels down sympathetic preganglionic fibre--> triggers release of ACh at the junction--> binds to nicotinic receptor in postganglion--> signal continues to travel down postganglionic fibre--> triggers release of Noradrenaline/Adrenaline--> binds to alpha/beta receptors
  4. 4ANS- Neurotransmitters and Receptors (PNS)AP travels down sympathetic preganglionic fibre--> triggers release of ACh at the junction--> binds to nicotinic receptor in postganglionic neuron--> signal continues to travel down postganglionic fibre--> triggers release of ACh--> binds to muscarinic receptors
  5. 5Adrenergic Receptors Cholinergic ReceptorsAdrenergic receptors= alpha 1 & 2, beta 1 & 2
    Cholinergic Receptors= Nicotinic and Muscarinic Receptors
  6. 6Nicotinic receptorsSite of receptor= all autonomic ganglia
    (Motor end plate of skeletal muscle fibres and some CNS cell bodies and dendrites)
    Response to ACh= Sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic fibres
  7. 7Muscarinic receptorsSite of receptor= Effector cells (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands)
    Response to ACh= Parasympathetic postganglionic fibres
  8. 8Alpha 1- higher affinity for noradernaline than adrenaline
    - Ca 2+ second messenger system
    - Excitatory response, contraction of smooth muscles
    - arterioles, most sympathetic target tissues
  9. 9Alpha 2- higher affinity for noradernaline than adrenaline
    - Blocks cyclic AMP production
    - Inhibitory response, relaxation of smooth muscle
    - digestive tract (digestion slows down)
  10. 10Beta 1- same affinity for noradrenaline and adrenaline
    - Cyclic AMP second messenger system
    - excitatory response (heart beats faster)
    - Heart (kidney, liver)
  11. 11Beta 2- more affinity for adrenaline
    - Cyclic AMP second messenger system
    - inhibitory response (relaxation of smooth muscle)
    - Bronchioles, arterioles (causes bronchioles to dilate which helps us to breath easier)
  12. 12Beta 1 antagonist- selectively blocks beta 1 adrenergic receptors reducing the sympathetic effects on the heart
    - reduces heart rate in treatment of hypertension
  13. 13Beta 2 agonist- dilates bronchioles in the treatment of asthma without undesirably stimulating the heart
    - selectively activates β2 adrenergic receptors at low doses thereby relaxing the bronchial smooth muscles (the heart has mostly β1 adrenergic receptors)
  14. 14Muscarinic antagonist- suppresses salivary and bronchial secretions before surgery
    - selectively blocks ACh at the muscarinic receptors, thereby blocking the parasympathetic effects
  15. 15Nicotinic antagonist- reduces the effects of both SNS and PNS
  16. 16Adrenaline- Increase HR and leads to general vasoconstriction in the treatment of acute heart failure
    - Adrenaline activates α & β receptors thereby increasing HR, and promoting smooth muscle contraction of peripheral arterioles, which results in increased arterial blood pressure
