Chapter 11 Peripheral Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous SystemOutline • Introductory Comments • 1. Autonomic Nervous System • Parasympathetic versus sympathetic nervous systems • 2. Somatic Nervous System • 3. Adrenal Gland & Modified ANS • 4. Chemical Anatagonists & Agonists • 5. Neurotoxins
Exception to the rule • 1. Sweat gland and vascular smooth muscleonlysympathetic innervation • 2. Cooperativity between sympathetic and parasympathetic
Autonomic Nervous System Controls • Found in Smooth Muscle • Found in Glands • Found in Cardiac muscle
sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons differ in several ways. • Site of ganglion • Length of pre and post-ganglionic fibers • Type of neurotransmitters released • pharmacologically
model of the autonomic pathway “intrinsic neurons modulate” Divergence can occur
Autonomic Nervous System Length of the fibers Spinal cord Parasympathetic Sympathetic Sympathetic Adrenal Medulla release primarily Epi.
Autonomic Nervous SystemNeurotransmitters Ganglion in circles Parasympathetic Ach Ach TISSUE Ach Sympathetic Spinal cord NE Sympathetic Ach Adrenal Medulla release primarily Epi.
Muscarinic Nicotinic Atropine, scopolamine Alpha-bungarotoxin (at muscle only, curare) Cholinergic Antagonists
Alpha Beta Alpha blockers Beta blockers: propranolol (B1 and B2) and metaprolol is B1 only Adrenergic Antagonists
Somatic Nervous System Ach Somatic Neuromuscular Junction Always Excitatory!
What other structure that we studied has two different embyronic origins?
Natural neurotoxins TTX blocks Na+ channels Funnel web spider, Agelenopsis aperta Blocks voltage gated Ca++ Bungarus multicinctus Blocks Acetylchoine receptors Fish hunting cone snail, Conus geographus Block Ca++ channels
Blocks exocytosis • Botulism Toxin
Stimulant • Binds to acetylcholine receptors Acetylcholine receptor
