Divisions of PNS - Ans:✔✔-somatic and autonomic
divisions of autonomic nervous system - Ans:✔✔-sympathetic and parasympathetic
parasympathetic nervous system effects - Ans:✔✔-"rest and digest"
slows HR, increases gastric secretions, emptying of bladder and bowels, constricts pupils, simulates
saliva, constricts bronchi.
sympathetic nervous system effects - Ans:✔✔-" Flight or Fight"- acute stress response.
increases HR, secretes adrenaline, dilates bronchi, dilates pupils, inhibits saliva, converts glycogen to
glucose.

Ultimately increases cardiac output and vasoconstriction resulting in maintenance of blood flow to brain
and other vital organs.
Neurotransmitter's of Autonomic Nervous System - Ans:✔✔-acetylcholine, norepinephrine, epinephrine
Cholinergic receptor respond to... - Ans:✔✔-acetylcholine
Adrenergic receptors respond to... - Ans:✔✔-norepinephrine and epinephrine
Subtypes of cholinergic receptors - Ans:✔✔-muscarinic, nicotnic-n, nicotinic-m
subtypes of adrenergic receptors - Ans:✔✔-Alpha1, Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2
Acetylcholine has parasympathetic or sympathetic affects? - Ans:✔✔-parasympathetic
When acetylcholine binds to a muscarinic cholinergic receptor it causes relaxation.
Muscarinic receptors cause... - Ans:✔✔-decreased HR, relaxed bladder and increased urination,
increased gastric secretion and motility causing defecation, increased sweating, constriction of eye and
vasodilation of blood vessels, erection
NicotinicN Receptors cause... - Ans:✔✔-All automimic NS ganglia to stimulate peripheral and
sympathetic postganglionic nerves and release of epinephrine from adrenal medulla
