Sympathetic outflow
|
Thoraco-Lumbar regions
|
|
Parasympathetic outflow
|
Cranio-Sacral regions
|
|
Sympathetic gaglia location
|
paraverterbral ganglionic chain
|
|
Parasympathetic ganglia location
|
in close proximity to target tissue
|
|
Neurotransmitter in ALL ganglionic synapses
|
ACh
|
|
Neurotransmitter at sympathetic neuro-effector junctions
|
NE; except at sweat glands where postganglionic sympathetic fibers release ACh
|
|
Neurotransmitter at parasympathetic neuro-effector junctions
|
ACh
|
|
Target tissue EXCLUSIVELY under sympathetic control
|
Peripheral Vascular smooth muscle
|
|
Target tissue under predominant parasympathetic control
|
SA Node; GI smooth muscle
|
|
Target tissue with Dual Innervation (Reciprocal Innervation)
|
Smooth muscles of the iris
|
|
Termination of NT effects in cholinergic synapses
|
Occurs by hydrolysis of ACh by Acetylcholinesterase; acetate diffuses out of synapse and choline is recycled into the presynaptic nerve terminal for resynthesis of ACh by Choline acetylase
|
|
Termination of NT effects in adrenergic synapses
|
Occurs primarily by diffucion of NE out of the synaptic cleft; some NE is recycled by reuptake into the presynaptic nerve terminal, subjected to oxidative deamination by MAO and the rest repackaged into vesicles for future release
|
|
Synthesis of amine NTs
|
Phe-->Tyr-->DOPA-->DA-->NE; Phenylalanine hydroxylase,Tyrosine hydroxylase, DOPA decarboxylase, DA beta-hydroxylase, respectively
|
|
Pheochromocytoma
|
Adrenal Medullary Tumor; Excessive synthesis and paroxysmal secretion of catecholamine neurohormones; NE converted to epinephrine by PEA N-methyl transferase; Hypertensive Crisis
|
|
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
|
Caused by genetic deficiency of Phenylalanine hydroxylase; Tyrosine becomes an essential aminoacid; Phe converted to Phenyl pyruvate - a Phenylketone in structure that can cause mental retardation in neonates and infants
