Question
Chapter 49.5, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The roles of the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in regulating mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Introduction:
The ANS has a vital role in maintaining the blood pressure in humans. It has two branches-sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Both these branches control blood pressure as well as MAP according to the condition of the body.

Trace the sequence of events in signal transduction for each of the following second messengers: cyclic AMP, inositol trisphosphate (IP3 ), diacylglycerol (DAG), and calcium ions.
Sensory neurons in the homeostatic pathway demonstrate spontaneous activity.
For a neuron, what does spontaneous activity mean?
Describe a mechanism by which a neuron would demonstrate spontaneous activity. (Good inspiration would be to look at the mechanism of behavior and effect on membrane potentials of HCN channels in the heart.)
Assuming these sensory neurons used FM communication, how do they encode increases in stimulation and also to encode decreases in stimulation of receptors?
Consider this pathway: epinephrine S G protein-coupledreceptor S G protein S adenylyl cyclase S cAMP.Identify the second messenger.(A) cAMP(B) G protein(C) GTP(D) adenylyl cyclase

Unfortunately, it was given in overdose and produced an adverse effect. Drug B is then administered which blocks that receptor. The effect of drug B results in a reduction in the effect of drug A. Comment on if Drug B is acting competitively (reversibly) or non-competitively (irreversibly)?

How would the neuron's action potential be affected by conotoxin? Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis C.
