Questions and Answers

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate and blood pressure?

  • Central Nervous System (CNS)
  • Somatic Nervous System (SNS)
  • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
  • Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) (correct)
  • Which neurotransmitter is primarily involved in the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS)?

  • Adrenaline
  • Noradrenaline
  • Nicotinic
  • Acetylcholine (ACh) (correct)
  • What is the equation for Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)?

  • MAP = Cardiac Output (CO) x Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) (correct)
  • MAP = Flow x Resistance
  • MAP = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate

    Study Notes

    Autonomic Nervous System

    • The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate and blood pressure.

    Neurotransmitters

    • Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter primarily involved in the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS).

    Blood Pressure Regulation

    • Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is calculated using the equation: MAP = (SBP + 2DBP) / 3, where SBP is systolic blood pressure and DBP is diastolic blood pressure.

    Sympathetic Nervous System

    • α1 receptors are primarily involved in the constriction of arterioles in the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS).
    • The vasomotor center, located in the medulla oblongata of the brain, is responsible for regulating blood pressure and heart rate in the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS).
