Sympathetic
Origins, synapses, branching
1. Sympathetic – thoracolumbar outflow. Preganglionic Intermediolateral columns spinal cord → synapse ganglion cells in 22 pairs paravertebral sympathetic ganglia. Each preganglionic synapses w/ 20-10K sympathetic ganglion via collateral fibers
Parasympathetic
Origins (including CN), synapses
Parasympathetic – craniosacral outflow. Arrise CN3,7,9,10 & sacral part of spinal cord. Preganglionic synapse near effetor organ.
Enteric
Origin, Extrinsic control
Enteric – intrinsic to the GI. Collection is in myenteric (betw. Muscle) & submucosal. Under some extrinsic symp/parasymp activity.
Sympathetic/Parasympathetic Effect (table)
pupil
heart
most arterioles
salivary gland
lacrimal gland
GI smooth muscle
Bronchial muscle
Spleen Capsule
Single Innervation sympathetic have 2 functions
Sympathetic activation vessels = vasoconstriction. Turn it off and vessels vasodilate (forces from BP). Possibly then a certain tone is maintained.
3 types NT and sites of action
Mech. of inactivation for
Ach
NE
Ach inactivation = acetylcholinesterase (takes only milliseconds)
NE inactivation = 1.reuptake 2.MAO (mitochondria) 3.COMT 4.diffusion NE out of cleft
2 types adrenergic receptors
NT = NE and hormone = Epi

Alpha – gen. excitatory except gut
Beta – gen. inhibitory except heart
Origin/Site of release Epinephrine
Chromaffin cells in Adrenal medulla (symp. pregangl innervation via greater splanchic n.) (stim = EPI release)
Sympath/Parasympath NT & receptors for changing heart rate
Sympathetic stim → NE released post-ganglionic → β adrenergic receptor stimu → ↑HR & F contraction = ↑↑CO

Parasympathetic stim. → Stim travels down vagal fiber → Ganglion in heart where Ach is release → Muscarinic receptors in AV/SA nodes stim = inhibition conduction → ↓HR
Sympath/Parasympath effects on pupil size
Sympathetic stim → ↑ pupil size & ciliary muscle relaxed & lens flattens for distant vision
Parasympathetic stim → ↓pupil size & ciliary muscle contracts & lens becomes round for near vision
Cholinergic crisis
Cholinergic Crisis – rx overdose, ingestion poisonous mushrooms, nerve gas.
SLUDGE
Salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastrointestinal upset, emesis

RECALL sweating is only sympathetic using Ach
Cholinergic antagonist SE
SE can be predicted based on blocking Ach activity (antagonists bind receptor but no stimulus). Examples are dry mouth, dry skin, dilated pupils, tachycardia, decreased gut & bladder activity, sedation, excitation confusion.
