Q

Beta 2 adrenergic

A

lungs

-postsynaptic sympathetic inhibitory (vasodilation, bronchodilation)

paralyzes smooth muscle in teachea and bronchi to allow air in and out

paralyze vascular smooth muscle to allow for vasodilation to oxygenate the blood

30
Q

Which fiber type is the biggest fastest

A

A-alpha: motorneurons

larger is faster

31
Q

Which fiber type is the smallest and slowest

A

C fibers: pain

32
Q

Pain and temp are smaller or faster fibers

A

smaller

33
Q

pressure, touch, vibration

A

bigger faster

34
Q

What does the golgi tendon organ do?

A

prevents us from having overstretch by inhibiting alpha motor neurons

35
Q

The dorsal column(lemniscal system)

does what?

A

High sensitivity

Touch
Vibration
movement against the skin
position
pressure
36
Q

What are the three components of the lemniscal system and what do they do?

A

Pacinian: vibration

Merkels: pressure

Meissner’s: skin

37
Q

What does the antrolateral system do

A

hold large tracks and move bulk of nervous system information

pain
thermal
crude touch and pressure(poor localization)
tickle and itch
sexual sensation
38
Q

What are the two components of the dorsal/posterior column

A

fasciculus gracilis

Fasiculus cuneatus

39
Q

Upper motor neuron defects

A

Hyperactive nerve

Spastic paralysis
Little atrophy
no fibrilations
hyperreflexia
positive babinski
40
Q

Lower motor neuron defect

A

Hypoactive nerve/damage to peripheral nerve

Atrophy
Flaccid paralysis
Fibrillations
Hyporeflexia
Negative babinski
41
Q

What disease follows both Upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron defects

A

A mylotrophic lateral sclerosis

mixed presentation

42
Q

What are the two places that do not have a BBB

A

eye and diencephalon

43
Q

Fast pain fibers

mediated through-to where

what type of pain?

A

mediated through brainstem up to the somatic homunculus (sensory)

localized pain

have to go furtherest so have to be fastest

44
Q

Slow pain fibers

go where

what type of pain?

A

To the thalamus to cause thalamic pain (non localized pain)

45
Q

What happens in the reticular formation

A
  • both fast and slow fibers go through here
  • during the day it collects information
  • aurosal center of brain
  • at night it clears itself for the next day
46
Q

What can pass through the blood brain barrier and what cant

A

Fat soluble substances and gases go through easily

Everything else has to be transported by a carrier

(water soluble)

47
Q

What are the choroid plexi and where do they live

A

live in areas of the ventricular system

they make CSF

48
Q

Lateral ventricles

A

Ventricles 1 and 2

Make CSF up high

49
Q

Ventricles 3 and 4

A

make csf down low

50
Q

how does communication between ventricles happen

A

cerebral aquaduct and formena of luschki and magendie

circulate CSF to brain and spinal cord

51

magnesium is inside

calcium is outside

52
Q

When do you get an action potential in the peripheral nervous system

A

reached at threshhold 1:1 relationship

53
Q

central nervous system when do you get an action potential

A

voting system

need so many yes votes to get an action potential

54

enough post synaptic firing to cause a new AP

A

EPSP

55
Q

Inhibition of action potential due to hyperpolarizaation

A

doesnt matter how many yeses

IPSP

what is the receptor/ generator potential

A

what it take to cause a membrane to reach threshhold so that you get an AP

-can be adapted, the longer you activate them the more it reaches threshold
