where are PNS pre-g neuron cell bodies located?
brain
what do all pre-g neurons synapse with?
autonomic ganglia (contains post-g cell body)
what can be found in autonomic ganglia?
post-g cell bodies
where specifically do SNS pre-g neurons synapse?
either chain ganglia OR collateral ganglia
which pre-g neurons exit SPC without synapsing?
collateral ganglia (exit SPC below diaphragm)
post-g fibers from _____ganglia innervate digestive, urinary, & reproductive systems
collateral ganglia
where is ganglia found?
head, neck, abdomen, & chain ganglia along SPC
where does post-g neuron travel to?
effector organs
name 4 effector organs:
endocrine glands, smooth muscle, heart, & bv
the vagus nerve provides PNS regulations to many organs including the heart. what would happen if the vagus nerve to the heart were severed?
heart rate will increase, but will not stop beating because only modulates (does not provide function)
what pathways use Ach & NE?
SNS
what pathways use Ach but not NE?
PNS
which part of ANS is craniosacral division?
PNS
which part of ANS is thoracolumbar division?
SNS
most of these post-g neurons do not travel via spinal nerves to get to their effector organ:
PNS
how do SNS post-g neurons travel to effectors?
via spinal nerves
in the ____, the pre-g neurons are short and post-g are long
SNS
where do PNS pre-g neurons originate?
brainstem S2-4
where do SNS pre-g neurons originate?
SPC T1-L2
which post-g neurons synapse in ganglia NEAR effectors?
PNS
which cranial nerves carry PNS pre-g fibers?
oculomotor 3, facial 7, glossopharyngeal 9, & vagus 10
what is the PNS effector organ for oculomotor nerve?
eye (constricts pupil)
what are the PNS effector organs for facial nerve?
lacrimal, mucous, & salivary glands
what are the PNS effector organs for glossopharyngeal nerve?
parotids
75% of all PNS fibers travel via ____nerve to heart, lungs, GI, liver, & pancreas
vagus
what do the sacral spinal nerves of the PNS control?
pelvic organs (lower Lg intestine, urinary bladder, rectum, & reproductive organs
what is the NT of all pre-g fibers in ANS?
Ach
are post-g fibers in PNS adrenergic or cholinergic?
cholinergic
most of these post-g fibers are adrenergic:
SNS
are pre-g fibers adrenergic or cholinergic?
cholinergic (both SNS & PNS)
where are varicosites located?
in all post-g neuron axons
what are the swellings that contain NTs?
varicosites
where do the NTs within varicosites of post-g neurons release from?
all ALONG AXON LENGTH (not just terminal)
what NT does SNS adrenergic post-g fibers release?
NE
what SNS NT does adrenal medulla release via blood?
Epinephrine
are NE and E considered excitatory or inhibitory?
both (Ex: contracts heart, relaxes bronchioles) due to differing receptor types
what are the 2 main classes of adrenergic receptors?
alpha & beta
all ______ receptors act via G protein signaling
adrenergic receptors (alpha & beta)
which receptor constricts vessels & sphincters?
Alpha 1
these Rs found on presynaptic: decrease NE release,
on postsynaptic: contract smooth m.,
& central: decrease SNS outflow
Alpha 2
administration of A2 agonist would be useful for:
hypertension (central mos predominant: decreases sympathetic outflow)
which receptors are located on the heart that increase HR & force of contraction?
Beta 1
where are Beta 2 receptors located?
smooth muscle (relaxation of digestive tract, bronchioles, & uterus)
administration of a ___ BLOCKER would be useful for hypertension & tachycardia.
Beta 1 blocker
administration of a ___ BLOCKER would be useful for asthma.
Beta 2 blocker
propranol is an antihypertensive agent that blocks B1 & B2. however it cannot be given to asthma patients. why?
because blocking beta 2 prevents bronchiole dilation
atenolol is a beta 1 antagonist. what are its effects on HR & BP?
slow HR & lowers BP
Epinephrine was once used to treat asthma (stimulates B2). what are drawbacks?
dangerously increases HR bc it also stimulates B1
phenylephrine is an _____ agonist used in cold medicine because it vasoconstricts mucosa
A1
clonidine is a ____ agonist useful for hypertension
A2
treatments for hypertension include ____ & ____ blockers, and also ______ agonists
A1 blocker
B1 blocker
A2 agonist
all somatic motor neurons, all pre-g neurons, & most (not all) PNS post-g neurons are _______
cholinergic (meaning they release Ach)
cholinergic somatic motor neurons, & all pre-g neurons are ______
excitatory
somatic motor neurons at NMJ stimulate ______
contraction
all pre-g neurons are considered excitatory because they stimulate ______
post-g fibers
are PNS post-g neurons excitatory or inhibitory?
both (Ex: slows heart, but activates GI tract)
is Ach an excitatory NT or inhibitory?
depends on nature of cholinergic receptor (nicotinic or muscarinic)
where are nicotinic Rs located?
in CNS. post-g fibers on NMJ (Ach stimulates contraction)
how are muscarinic Rs stimulated?
by Ach released from PNS post-g
where are muscarinic Rs located?
on effector organs

atropine blocks muscarinic effects of _______
nerve gas
