Cranial nerve, pelvic nerve
3 of 13
Where is the preganglionic origin in sympathetic system?
Thoracic
4 of 13
Name the two cholinergic receptors and the two adrenergic receptors...
Cholinergic: nicotinic and muscarinic Adrenergic: alpha or beta
5 of 13
Where is the nicotinic receptors located?
In both the para and sympathetic nervous system
6 of 13
Where is the muscarinic receptors located?
Target organ synapse on parasympathetic
7 of 13
What is the nicotinic and muscarinic receptors blocked by?
Nicotinic: curare Muscarinic: atropine
8 of 13
Where is the alpha 1 adrenoreceptors located? What does it cause? What causes the greater effect NAdr or Adr?
Postsynaptic (sympathetic), vasoconstriction and smooth muscle contraction, NAdr > Adr
9 of 13
Where is the alpha 2 adrenoreceptors located? What does it cause? What causes the greater effect NAdr or Adr? What blocks it?
Presynaptic (sympathetic), reduction in adrenergic/cholinergic transmission, NAdr > Adr
10 of 13
Where is the beta 1 adrenoreceptors located? What does it cause? What causes the greater effect NAdr or Adr?
Heart, increased heart rate and force of contraction, Adr = NAdr
11 of 13
Where is the beta 2 adrenoreceptors located? What does it cause? What causes the greater effect NAdr or Adr?
Causes vasodilation and smooth muscle relaxation, Adr > NAdr
12 of 13
What blocks alpha receptors and beta receptors?
Alpha blocked by phentolamine, beta blocked by propranolol
