What ratio of body weight is Body Water
60%
Brain and Spine
What are the two types of Synapses
Electrical and Chemical (predominantly chemical)
What are the two divisions of the ANS? What is their place of origin from the CNS
Parasympathetic nervous system (Cranio-sacral), and Sympathetic Nervous System (thoraco-lumbar)
What are the five senses? (scientific names)
Auditory, Somatic, Gustatory, visual, olfaction
What amount of BW is ICF?
40%
What type of Neurons lead away from the CNS
Motor or Efferent Neurons
Acetylcholine.
Are Pacinian corpuscle phasic or tonic with adaptation?
Phasic. quick adaptation to deep pressure stimuli. Remember they are laminated like onions and will be round when being stimulated
What ion has a higher concentration in the cell? Na or K
K
Interneurons
Does the Neuron make new NT every time for a new AP?
No they are repackaged after binding to the post synaptic site and reused.
Which ANS neurons are expected to be of near equal length.
Sympathetic
Why do our sense have separate regions of the brain to control them?
Senses have to be independently taken and then processed together to map the surroundings. This is why some animals Have "multiple"/ divided brains for body fucntions.
Presence of solutes and particles
Action potentials are characterized by not degrading, having the ability to travel long distances, a threshold for potential to fire, and _____. What is the missing characteristic
All or none- A signal will either cause depolarization or it won't
Enzyme in the synaptic gap used to remove leftover ACH
Acetylcholinesterase. Think about what happens if this is inhibited.
if you give a Pt a ANS antagonist,st what would you expect to occur
Blocked response to both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. What is a situation you can think of wanting to do this? Atropine for organophosphate poisoning.
An animal olfactory bulb is what dictates how good its olfactory sense will be. Which will have better smell a German shepherd or a Domestic shorthair cat.
No, Isotonic is preferred with hypertonic being used in rare critical cases. Hypotonic risks swelling the cells to quickly leading to cell death.
With repolarization there is a period in which stimuli can act to restimulate the tissue. What is this period and what is an example of a tissue that does not allow this
Refractory period. Heart has an absolute refractory period. (no stimuli can cause a new AP)
After an AP has occured a inhibitory enzyme is activated what is the impact of this?
The neuron cascade has only sent one message and will lead to the inability of feedback reaction
If an animal is presenting emesis and lacrimation what do these symptoms show as and what is the rememdy
Symptoms of Organophosphate poisoning. Administer Atropine
