Question
Answer
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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
