Summary Introduction
To determine:
The necessity of having an expensive mechanism of mass activation response of the sympathetic nervous system at disposal.
Concept introduction:
The sympathetic nervous system is most active when something exciting is going to happen. Mass activation of the sympathetic nervous system refers to the stimulation of various body structures through sympathetic neurons. Mass activation is often a response to a crisis.

Which of the following statements is true?
Chemical messengers within cells are always the main determinant of the effector response.
Dual innervation is always present in all organs and glands; one branch enhances the function or secretion, while the other branch inhibits it.
The beating of the heart is regulated only by the sympathetic division.
Some blood vessels contain alpha adrenergic receptors that cause vasoconstriction in the presence of epinephrine, whereas others have beta adrenergic receptors that cause vasodilation in the presence of epinephrine.
The drug Celebrex selectively inhibits PTGS2 while aspirin and other NSAID’s inhibit both PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the same way. Why do you think researchers wanted to discover a selective inhibitor to PTGS2?
Halle Zingiber has been granted refugee status in this country. He has had to leave his wife and two children in Ethiopia. He is severely depressed and is receiving treatment with the tricyclic depressant, nortriptyline. No effects were reported when standard doses of the drug (25 mg tds) were used. His doctor increased the dose many-fold to 200 mg/day a dose, which is inducing effects. Can you explain Halle’s unusual response to therapy?

- The sympathetic nervous system has a key function in the stress response. What is that?arrow_forwardCatecholamines are neurotransmitters that are produced in the adrenal glands and are released during a stress response. Some typical effects are increased heart rate, increased blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure. Examples include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Reserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Which f the following rows correctly identifies the effect of reserpine in the synapse and the division of the nervous system it affects? Select one: Effect in the Synapse Division of the Nervous System Keeps catecholamines longer Sympathetic nervous system in the synapse b.

- Which statement is true regarding the nervous system? a) Damaged myelin on an axon has no effect with its ability to transmit an action potential b) Depolarization is the reduction of the membrane potential; going from negative to a more positive charge c) Neuroglia cells are only responsible for providing immunity to the nervous cells d) Neurons can communicate with other cells without the use of neurotransmittersarrow_forwardA 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_forwardWhen the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation. How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?arrow_forward
- The fight-or-flight reaction prepares an animal to Pesponu Lu a threatening situation, by either fighting or running away. One aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). A) Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and how do they produce these changes in blood vessels? Briefly explain how this example illustrates how different cells are able to use the same ligands in different ways.arrow_forwardI am confused about the process of rod cells in the dark. In the dark, rod cells are unstimulated and therefore the sodium is able to enter and depolarize the cell, stimulating the release of glutamate to the bipolar cell. However, this increase in glutamate in the bipolar cell inhibits the release of action potential from the bipolar cell to the ganglion cell. This doesn't make sense to me because shouldn't there be an increase in action potential since the rod cells are supposed to function in the dark?arrow_forwardExplain the difference between slow and fast chemical transmission.

- Dopamine is a neurotransmitter produced by the nervous system that is involved in the pleasure/reward system in the brain. The release of dopamine in response to a stimulus produces feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Cocaine is a type of drug that affects the brain response to dopamine. Usually after dopamine is released into the synaptic cleft, it is quickly re-absorbed into the neuron using dopamine transporters. However, cocaine blocks these transporters which causes dopamine to remain in the synaptic cleft for a long period of time. How would this impact the neuron's ability to communicate? Neurons will produce smaller action potentials because more dopamine is binding to receptors on the neuron, preventing the neuron from reaching the threshold potential Neurons will be under-stimulated because dopamine will bind to receptors and prevent ions from moving into the neuron, preventing electrical signaling Neurons will produce larger action potentials because more dopamine is…arrow_forwardAre these true or false? Acetylcholine molecules are actively transported from the axon to their receptors on the muscle membrane by special transport proteins. Receptors on the post-synaptic cell membrane that bind the acetylcholine are voltage-gated channels (channels that open in response to a change in the electrical charge of the membrane). When a muscle cell is not contracting its cell membrane is negative on the inner surface. The effect of a neurotransmitter on the muscle cell membrane is to modify its ion permeability properties temporarily. During depolarization, a small region of the muscle cell's membrane becomes less negative on the inside." Both sodium and potassium are more concentrated in the extracellular fluid than the intracellular fluid. After an action potential passes over a region of the sarcolemma the region remains positively charged throughout the entire muscle contraction. An increase in the calcium ion level in the cytosol causes thin filaments to begin…arrow_forwardSomeone goes for a jog first thing in the morning and encounters a squadron of javelinas, causing a release of epinephrine. Some of this circulating epinephrine binds to a G-alpha-s coupled receptor (GPCR) on the surface of muscle cells. Which of the following would occur in the muscle cell as a result of this activation? Nitric oxide synthesis would increase. cyclic AMP (cAMP) activity would increase. Phospholipase C (PLC) would hydrolyze (cut) the molecule PIP2. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. The levels of adenylate cyclase activity would decrease. Which ligand is CORRECTLY matched with its characteristic? Group of answer choices Glucagon: stimulates the activation of the mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway Nitric oxide (NO): must bind to its target protien withn a few seconds because NO degrades rapidly Steroid hormone: produces a response in its target cells within seconds Acetylcholine: hydrophobic molecule that binds to…arrow_forward
