true or false, in the modified sympathetic nervous system, adrenaline is released to the postganglionic neuron to target cell?
no, preganglionic
true or false, in the modified sympathetic nervous system, adrenaline is released from teh adrenal medulla when its activated by postganglionic parasympathetic innervation?
false, preganglionic
true or false, in the modified sympathetic nervous system, adrenaline is released from teh adrenal medualla into the bloodstream?
true
true or false, in the modified sympathetic nervous system, results of adrenaline on target tissues are almost identiacal to that of the parasympathetic nervous system?
false, the sympathetic nervous system
what is the purpose of alpha blockers?
to promote actions of NA or inhibit muscarinic, these cause sympathetic effects
what is the purpose of beta blockers?
mimics the parasympathetic, slows down the heart. Promote muscarinic actions of ACh or inhibit actions of NA
true or false, all adrenoreceptors are G-protein coupled?
true
what is characterisitic of g-protein coupling.
slow, long-lasting response. Local effect
what is the length of the axons in the preganglionic sympathetic division?
what do they release, what does it bind to?
short
ACh
nAChR
what is the length of the axons of in the postganglionic sympathetic division?
what do they release, what does it bind to?
long
NA
AR (adernergic receptors)
what is the length of the axons in the preganglionic parasympathetic division?
what does it realease, what does it bind to?
long
ACh
nAChR
what is the length of postganglionic parasympathetic division?
what does it release, what does it bind to?
short
ACh
mAChR (muscarinic acetyl choline receptor)
do second order neurons (postganglionic)have myelination?
no
where is the soma for second order neurons?
in the PNS
exception: for the second order neurons sympathetic innervation of sweat glands, what is released, and what does it bind to?
ACh
mAChR
true or false, binding of ACh to nAChR causes slow EPSP's that trigger AP in the postganglionic cell?
false, they are fast
true or false, the binding of ACh to mAChR (G-protein coupled) causes slow EPSP's or IPSP's?
true
parasympathetic is local or diffuse?
local
sympathetic is local or diffuse?
diffuse b/c it enters the bloodstream
True or false, the purpose of neuromodulators is to trigger an AP?
false, they are used to modulate the postganglionic response to ACh
