Question
Chapter 15, Problem 8CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Health problems due to chronic sympathetic stimulation.
Introduction:
Sympathetic motor neurons stimulate flight and fight responses in the human body. These neurons innervate all the internal and external visceral organs such as the heart, stomach, intestine, sweat glands, arrector pilli muscles, smooth muscles of arteries, and veins. The visceral organs of the body are under involuntary control.

In the overall scheme, of proposed causes of neurotransmitter dysfunction, the
following is true:
alteration of dopamine concentration influences obsession
alteration of serotonin concentration can affect the attention function
Dysfunctional production of the neurotransmitters, mentioned in class, can
influence cognitive function
dysfunction in the production of neurotransmitters happens only in the elderly
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 synapse

- Russell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor. He has noticed some arm and hand shaking in the past year, but assumed it must be related to low or high blood sugar levels because he has had some issues with that in the past. However, the shaking/twitching has become more consistent lately and does not seem to be correlated with his diet. Russell’s doctor said that the stress of his job could be the problem, so he took the entire summer off from teaching.When he returned to work in the fall, Russell and his students noticed that his handwriting has become nearly illegible. Drinking a cup of coffee without spilling had also become a challenge. Russell returned to his doctor, who performed a physical exam and a few tests. Here are the notable results: shuffling gait, mild bradykinesia, mild voice tremor, intermittent rigidity of the limbs, and normal EEG.
