Susan Onianwa Case Study Week 4 1. Looking at the signs and symptoms, you notice that one of the two branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is highly upregulated. Which one is it? Name three signs or symptoms that clued you in on it and why. Sweating, hypotension, Bradycardia, diarrhea. Parasympathetic 2. What receptor do you think muscarine binds to in the ANS? What neurotransmitter usually binds to the receptor? Muscarine binds to adrenergic receptor in the ANS. Ach usually binds to the receptor 3. At first, it seemed odd that three out of four of your patients were sweating. It makes sense now that you know what they ate. Why? It is a parasympathetic response. 4. Treatment for this issue includes the use of atropine. Atropine is anticholinergic. Define anticholinergic and determine why you would use it in this case. Anticholinergic is when something is an antagonist and works against a cholinergic response. It will regulate the heart rate and the blood pressure. Reference: Saladin, K. (2019).
