QuestionAnswer
The nervous system *two types* *PNS= Peripheral nervous system *CNS=Central nervous system
PNS *Peripheral Nervous system -cranial & spinal nerves -ganglia
CNS *Central Nervous System -Brain -Spinal cord
Sensory -Afferent neurons -in
Motor -Efferent Neurons -out (1)Somatic (2)Autonomic
Somatic -motor -voluntary -skeletal muscle
Autonomic -motor -involuntary -para/sympathetic -cardiac muscle -smooth muscle -glands
Alarm responce (immediate action) INCREASED: HR,BP,Bsugar,water retention, sweating. DECREASED: digestion, salivation DILATION:pupils, bronchi. *vasoconstriction
Relaxation (maintenance) -INCREASED: digestion, salivation -DECREASED: HR -CONSTRICTION: pupils, bronchi -vaso dilation
Relaxation (maintenance) -INCREASED: digestion, salivation -DECREASED: HR -CONSTRICTION: pupils, bronchi -vaso dilation
Stress response -sympathetic activation -mobilise resources for action -glucose & O2 consumption -reduce tissue damage -ward off danger OR flee
2 STAGES of stress response (1)alarm (2)resistance
(1)alarm -immediate -sym activation -adrenal medulla sustains>epinephrine>norepinephrine
(2)resistance -slower, longer lasting -hypothal,pit.,andrenal cortex -cortisol production
ANS -autonomic nervous system -involuntary -limbic,hypothal.,s.cord -2 neuron pathways
ANS pathways spinalcord--(pre-ganglionic myelinated neuron)-->autonomic ganglion--(postganglionic non-myelinated ganglion)-->Effectors
Effectors ACh=for parasymp to sweat glands Norepinephrine=all other symp fibres
Raynaud's -excessive symp stim -emotional stress -exposure to cold -chronic vasoconstriction -ischemia(lack of blood in hands and feet)
Hormone types -circulating -local
Circulating hormones -to receptors -via blood -on distant target cells
Local hormones (2TYPES) -PARACRINE: receptors on nearby target cells -AUTOCRINE: same cell
Effectors ACh=for parasymp to sweat glands Norepinephrine=all other symp fibres
Raynaud's -excessive symp stim -emotional stress -exposure to cold -chronic vasoconstriction -ischemia(lack of blood in hands and feet)
Hormone types -circulating -local
Circulating hormones -to receptors -via blood -on distant target cells
Local hormones (2TYPES) -PARACRINE: receptors on nearby target cells -AUTOCRINE: same cell
Cholera: toxin -permanently activates Gprotein -high cAMP -pumps Cl- into intestines with water chronic diarrhoea
Lipid soluble Hormones -needs solution transporter -diffuse into cell -activates receptors on nucleus -alters gene expression -new proteins alter cell activity
Water soluble Hormones -no carrier -binds to receptors on cell surface -activate Gprotein>adenyl cyclase -ATP converted to cAMP -acivates kinases -P enzymes -catalyse reactions producing physiological responses
Hypothalamus-pituitary axis -hypo=8hormones releasing & inhibiting control pituitary -together regualte growth development, metabolism ,homeostasis
Enhancing alarms response -releasing norepinephrine & epinephrine into blood stream
Adrenal gland MEDULLA -STIMULATED:Ach from preganglionic nuerons -RELEASES: Norepinephrine, Epipinephrine -ACTION: enhance symp ANS alarm responce
Adrenal gland CORTEX stimulation 1 -STIMULATED: increase in K+ -releases corticoids (aldosterone) -ACTION: incr blood Na+ & water, decr. K+}incr blood vol & pressure
Adrenal gland CORTEX stimulated 2 -STIMULATED: Ach from pituitary
Adrenal gland CORTEX stimulation 1 -STIMULATED: increase in K+ -releases mineralo corticoids (aldosterone) -ACTION: incr blood Na+ & water, decr. K+}incr blood vol & pressure
Adrenal gland CORTEX stimulated 2 -STIMULATED: ACTL from pituitary -RELEASES:glucocosorticoids (cortisol) -ACTION: resistance to stress reaction, dampens inflammation &immun response
Actions of cortisol (seven) (1)Protein breakdown (2)Gucloneogenesis (3)Lipolysis (4)Stress resistance (4)Vasoconstriction (5)Anti-inflammatory (6)Immune depression
(1)protein Breakdown -in muscle fibres -AAs-->blood -used for synthesis of proteins & ATP production
(2)Gluconeogenesis -liver cells -AAs/lactic acid-->glucose -used for ATP production
(3)lipolysis -breakdown of triglycerides -&fatty acids from adipose into blood
(4)stress resistance -increased ATP & glucose combats stresses e.g. bleeding, trauma, infection, disease, temp extremes, fasting
(5)vasocontrition -leads to rise in BP
(6)Anti-inflammatory -limits WBC to tissue -retards tissue repair & wound healing
(7)Immune Depression -increased susceptibility to infection

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
