Summary Introduction
To review:
The anatomical and physiological relationship between the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal gland.
Introduction:
The human nervous system is associated with the control and coordination of the body functions. The nervous system is broadly classified into the central and the peripheral nervous system. The brain and the spinal cord are a part of the central nervous sytem whereas the autonomic and the somatic nervous system are included in the peripheral nervous system. Â

- Most 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_forwardCompare the anatomy and chemical communication of the somatic motor, parasympathetic, and sympathetic divisions. Explain the molecular events of the sarcomere which result in contraction Explain how antagonistic control is a hallmark of the autonomic nervous system. Compare the synthesis, storage, transport. location of receptors, and cellular mechanism of action for the four major groups of hormones: catecholamine, thyroid, peptide and steroid hormones. Compare the structure and function of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle Compare nicotinic cholinergic, muscarinic cholinergic, and adrenergic receptors. Compare the two main types of alpha receptors and the three main types of beta receptors. Discuss the six anterior pituitary hormones, their primary targets and the hormones which control their release. Discuss the role of the Na+K+ pump in maintaining the membrane potential of a cell. Describe the three most common types of endocrine pathologies.arrow_forwardCortisol stops HPA from continuing to release cortisol and continueing to stomulate sympathetic system. Why do adrenal glands continue to release cortisol during chronic stress? a) because hypothalamus is no longer sensitive b) chronic stress is continually activating hypothealamys c) cortisol doesnt stop HPA from being activated d) none of thesearrow_forward

Molecules released 2. Site of action 3. Types of target cells 4. Onset of action 5. Duration of actionarrow_forward
- During a sympathetic nervous system response to an event, your heart rate increases, indicating the part of the heart responsible for controlling heart rate (the sinoatrial node) is innervated by sympathetic nerves. The SA node is also responsive to epinephrine,a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla. Explain why the onset of the effect of the hormone is so much slower than the onset of the effect from sympathetic nerve stimulation and yet the effect of the hormone lasts much longer than the effect of nerve stimulation.arrow_forwardUsing the below diagram, label each part along with its function. Also identify where ADH acts?arrow_forwardDefine norepinephrine (NE)arrow_forward
