Functions of ANS
|
Regulation of the heart
Regulation of secretory glands Regulation of smooth muscles |
|
Functions of Parasympathetic
|
Slowing of the heart rate
Inc gastric secretions Emptying of bladder Emptying of bowel Focus the eye Constrict the pupil Contract bronchial smooth muscle |
|
Functions of Sympathetic
|
Inc heart rate
Vasoconstriction for more blood to brain Shunt blood away from intestines Regulate temperature Dilate pupil Dilate bronchi Mobilized stored energy |
|
Neurotransmitters of PNS
|
Acetylcholine (ACh)
Norepinephrine Epinephrine Dopamine |
|
Receptors of the PNS
|
Cholinergic
-Respond to Acetylcholine (Ach) -Subtypes nicotinic, muscarinic Adrenergic -Respond to epinephrine ( adrenaline) and Norepinephrine -Subtypes - Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2 |
|
Function of alpha 1 receptors
Adrenergic |
Dilatation of the iris
Vasoconstriction Bladder contraction Ejaculation |
|
Function of alpha 2 receptors
Adrenergic |
Minimal significance in the PNS
|
|
Functions of beta 1 receptors
Adrenergic |
Cardiac receptors
Increase heart rate -Increased force of contraction -Increased velocity of conduction through AV node Kidney receptors -Release of rennin -Increased vasoconstriction |
|
Functions of beta 2 receptors
Adrenergic |
Bronchial dilation
Relaxation of the smooth muscle of the uterus Vasodilation Glycogenolysis – increasing blood glucose Enhanced skeletal muscle contraction |
|
Dopamine
|
Uncertain function
Dilates renal blood vessels inc. renal perfusion Used in Parkinson disease |
|
Cholinergic Drugs
|
Act to mimic or block the action of acetylcholine (ACh) or to prevent the break down of acetylcholine (ACh)
Types: Anticholinergic drugs --Example Atropine Cholinesterase Inhibitors --Example Nostigmine Neuromuscular Blocking agents --Example Succinylcholine |
