Chapter 11, Problem 12CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason how nicotine affects heart rate provided the fact that postganglionic sympathetic neurons secrete norepinephrine, not ACh.
Introduction: The autonomic nervous system controls the smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, many glands, and adipose tissue. The ANS is divided into two categories; one is a sympathetic division that regulates the body at the time of threat or injury while the other one is the parasympathetic system that controls the body response at rest position.

- Reserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine are examples of catecholamine neurotransmitters. One of the known side effects of reserpine is to cause the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson's disease is associated with dopamine. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement are gradually destroyed and the neurons can no longer produce dopamine to coordinate muscle movements. Reserpine causes symptoms by a. inhibiting the release of dopamine from the presynaptic neuron b. blocking the dopamine receptor in the postsynaptic neuron c. breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synapse d. breaking down cholinesterase enzyme in the synapsearrow_forwardSeveral compounds are being developed as possible treatments for the cognitive defecits seen in schizophrenia by modulating the acetylcholine system. Schizophrenics display a high rate of smoking behaviors, describe how schizophrenics may be "self medicating" with nicotine and how an allosteric modulator may produce better results?arrow_forwardMost tissues regulated by the autonomic nervous system receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic input from postganglionic neurons. Responses are typically local. In contrast, the adrenal medulla receives input only from the sympathetic division and only from preganglionic neurons, yet responses are observed throughout the body. Explain why.arrow_forward
- A patient has been exposed to the organophosphate pesticide malathion,which inactivates acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following symptoms would you predict: blurring of vision, excess tear formation, frequent or involuntary urination, pallor (pale skin), muscle twitching, orcramps? Would atropine be an effective drug to treat the symptoms?(See Clinical Impact 16.2 for the action of atropine.) Explain.arrow_forwardEpinephrine and norepinephrine are chemicals that act as both neurotransmitters and hormones. Describe where they are released from, what organs they target and how they play a role in the sympathetic nervous system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best explains the effect of release of neurotransmitter at a parasympathetic ganglion. Release of noradrenaline at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of neurotransmitter at a parasympathetic ganglion leads to decreased generation and release of the NANC transmitter, nitric oxide.arrow_forward
