Study Notes
Sensory Receptors and Pathways
- Receptors are specialized for specific stimuli; they are largely unresponsive to other stimuli.
- Labeled-line principle: the brain identifies the type of stimulus based on the specific 'line' or nerve fiber it travels through.
- Each nerve tract terminates at designated points in the CNS, where activated fibers determine the sensation experienced.
- Receptor potentials arise from stimuli altering electrical membrane potentials, creating an electrochemical stimulus that transmits information to the brain.
Mechanisms of Receptor Activation
- Mechanical deformation, chemical application, temperature changes, and electromagnetic radiation all activate ion channels in sensory receptors.
- Action potentials are generated when membrane potential exceeds a certain threshold, creating an all-or-nothing response.
- Sensory experience varies based on the frequency of action potentials; as stimulus intensity increases, action potential frequency can also rise, though with diminishing returns.
Proprioception
- Static position sense relates to the body's perception in space, while kinesthesia refers to the sense of movement.
- Proprioceptors located in joints, muscles, and skin contribute to these senses.
Anterolateral System
- Transmits sensory signals for pain, temperature, tickle, itch, and sexual sensations with slower conduction velocity compared to DCML.
- Signals cross immediately to the opposite side of the spinal cord and ascend through the spinothalamic tracts to the brainstem and thalamus.
DCML vs. Anterolateral System
- DCML consists of large, myelinated fibers with rapid conduction (30-110 m/sec), carrying signals primarily for touch and proprioception.
- Anterolateral consists of smaller fibers (3-40 m/sec), transmits pain and temperature without localized sensations.
Dermatomes
- C4: clavicle, T4: nipples, T6: xiphoid, T10: umbilicus, L4-5: tibia, S2-5: perineum.
Herpes Zoster
- Caused by the herpes virus, which can remain latent in sensory ganglia and reactivate as shingles.
- Symptoms include localized pain and paresthesia in a specific dermatome, with thoracic or lumbar regions being most common.
Peripheral Nerve Injuries
- Types include transection (partial or complete destruction), compression (pressure on nerve), and traction (stretching of nerve).
- Injury mechanisms involve ischemia and structural disruption.
Pain Mechanisms
- Acute pain serves protective functions, promoting withdrawal from harm and aiding healing.
- Pain receptors, or nociceptors, are free nerve endings that respond to various stimuli (mechanical, thermal, chemical).
- Pain is categorized into fast pain (sharp, transmitted by A-delta fibers) and slow pain (burning, transmitted by C fibers).
Pain Pathways
- Fast pain pathways (neospinothalamic) allow for better localization using A-delta fibers, while slow pain pathways (paleospinothalamic) provide poorer localization due to C fibers.
- Nociception involves the phases of transduction, transmission, perception, and modulation of pain.
Endorphins and Pain Modulation
- The CNS produces endogenous opiate-like substances (beta-endorphin, enkephalins) that can modulate pain.
- Mechanisms and interactions of these substances remain partially understood.
Visual Sensory Processing
- Eye anatomy includes sclera, retina (rods for dim light, cones for color), cornea, iris, and lens.
- Light-induced nerve impulses travel via optic nerves (CN II) to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
Glaucoma and Anesthesia
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial; normal is 12-20 mmHg, but glaucoma can cause pressure over 60 mmHg.
- Anesthetic agents can increase or decrease IOP, impacting surgical outcomes.
Visual Evoked Potentials
- Used during surgery to monitor CN II integrity, with responses influenced by anesthetic agents affecting signal amplitude and latency.
Common Ocular Injuries
- Corneal abrasions are the most frequent perioperative ocular injury and are crucial to prevent during procedures.### Autonomic Nervous System Functions
- Active reuptake accounts for 50-80% of norepinephrine clearance, alongside diffusion and enzyme destruction (MAO, COMT).
- Anesthesia aims to modulate the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to control outcomes and maintain perfusion.
- Effective management during anesthesia involves anticipating response changes at key stages, such as laryngoscopy and post-intubation.
Control and Regulation
- The ANS regulates blood pressure, gastrointestinal motility, bladder emptying, and temperature.
- Activation centers are located in the spinal cord, brainstem, and hypothalamus, heavily influenced by the limbic system (memories and emotions).
- Rapid responses: heart rate can double within 3-5 seconds, and blood pressure can increase to twice normal in 10-15 seconds.
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems
- Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is responsible for the fight-or-flight response; parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) handles rest and digest functions.
- Homeostasis is achieved through the balancing effects of both systems.
Higher-Level Organization of SNS
- Hypothalamus integrates PSNS and SNS responses; influences long-term blood pressure control and responses to stress.
- Medulla oblongata and pons aid in momentary hemodynamic adjustments and ventilation control.
Sympathetic Nervous System Anatomy
- SNS originates from T1-L2, passing through various roots before synapsing in chain ganglia.
- Postganglionic neurons transmit impulses to effector organs, with the adrenal medulla being an exception as it only contains preganglionic fibers.
Parasympathetic Nervous System Anatomy
- PSNS is craniosacral, made up of neurons originating from the brainstem and sacral regions with significant activity through the vagus nerve.
Autonomic Tone
- Constant SNS and PSNS activity maintain baseline organ function; SNS induces blood vessel constriction, while PSNS promotes GI motility.
- Adrenal medulla provides backup, secreting epinephrine (0.2 mcg/kg/min) and norepinephrine (0.05 mcg/kg/min) to maintain normal BP.
Adrenal Medulla Function
- Preganglionic fibers stimulate the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine, leading to prolonged effects due to slower blood clearance.
Sweat Glands Response
- SNS stimulation leads to increased sweat production, primarily through cholinergic fibers, except for certain adrenergic fibers in palms and soles.
Autonomic Reflexes
- Baroreceptor reflex helps regulate blood pressure based on artery wall stretch.
- Various gastrointestinal reflexes enhance digestion based on food stimuli and other bodily functions.
Denervation Injury and Hopelessness
- Loss of intrinsic tone post-denervation leads to compensatory mechanisms. Smooth muscles can regain functionality over time leading to upregulation for enhanced catecholamine sensitivity.
Autonomic Dysreflexia
- A dangerous condition stemming from spinal cord injuries, typically above T6, characterized by a hyperactive sympathetic response to noxious stimuli below the injury level.
Autonomic Pharmacology
- Medications can either mimic or inhibit actions of the ANS.
- Sympathomimetics increase SNS activity, while cholinomimetics enhance PSNS response.
- Adrenergic antagonists block adrenergic action, and anticholinergics inhibit acetylcholine.
Cholinergic Crisis
- Characterized by excessive muscarinic stimulation and neuromuscular blockade, leading to symptoms grouped as "sludge" and the "killer B's."
- Treatment typically involves atropine and possible ventilation support.
General Pharmacological Notes
- Understanding the mechanism of medications is critical rather than memorizing all drugs; effects depend on receptor specificity and action type.
Sensory Receptors
- Touch and hair follicle receptors are specific to stimuli and do not detect pressure.
- Labeled-line principle explains how specific nerve fibers transmit only one type of sensation to the brain.
- Type of sensation is dictated by which nerve fiber is stimulated; pain felt regardless of the stimulus type if pain receptors are activated.
Receptor Potentials
- Electrical membrane potential changes in response to stimuli leading to receptor potentials, which ultimately send information to the brain.
- Mechanisms of receptor activation include mechanical deformation, chemical application, temperature change, and electromagnetic radiation.
Action Potentials
- Action potentials are generated when the receptor potential exceeds a specific threshold.
- Frequency of action potentials increases with greater receptor potentials and intense stimulation leads to progressively less additional action potentials.
- Amplitude of action potentials rises with stimulus strength, allowing differentiation of intensity level.
Oculocardiac Reflex
- Traction on extraocular muscles, pressure on the eyeball, and retrobulbar block can trigger cardiac dysrhythmias such as bradycardia.
- Common in pediatric procedures like strabismus repair; treatment includes removing the stimulus and administering atropine.
Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)
- Assess integrity of the visual pathway using flashes of light and electrodes placed over the occipital lobe during high-risk surgeries.
- Sensitive to anesthetic agents, which may affect amplitude and latency of the signal.
Motor Pathways and Control
- Muscle spindles sense length and rate of muscle stretch, leading to reflexive responses to prevent excessive stretching.
- Golgi tendon organs transmit information about tension in muscle tendons.
Reflex Responses
- Flexor reflexes allow withdrawal from painful stimuli without brain involvement, using spinal cord circuits for swift action.
- Crossed extensor reflex involves the extension of the opposite limb, pushing the body away from the stimulus.
Clinical Relevance: Motor System Disorders
- Upper motor neuron diseases present with increased reflexes, muscle tone, spastic paralysis, and a positive Babinski sign.
- Lower motor neuron diseases show decreased reflexes, muscle tone, and flaccid paralysis.
- Injury above decussation results in contralateral paralysis, whereas injury below results in ipsilateral paralysis.
Movement Disorder Terminology
- Ataxia: lack of muscle coordination.
- Athetosis: slow, involuntary movements.
- Chorea: irregular, spasmodic muscle movements.
- Bradykinesia: reduced spontaneity of movement.
- Dystonia: abnormal muscle tone affecting posture.
Cerebral Palsy
- Results from damage to upper motor neurons; classified by type of motor dysfunction (spastic, hemiplegia, diplegia, etc.).
- Symptoms include altered movement patterns and coordination, with developmental delays.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
- A rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons, leading to paralysis and respiratory failure.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
- Impairs neural impulse transduction; complete injuries result in loss of sensory and motor function below injury.
- Partial transections can result in central cord syndrome, anterior cord syndrome, and Brown-Sequard syndrome.
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Overview
- Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) originates from thoracolumbar regions with diffuse nerve distribution.
- Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) has more focused innervation with postganglionic fibers located near effectors.
Neurotransmitter Dynamics
- Preganglionic fibers are myelinated and release acetylcholine, while postganglionic fibers are unmyelinated and exhibit different neurotransmitter release depending on SNS or PSNS.
- Norepinephrine and epinephrine are key neurotransmitters affecting adrenergic receptor activation.
Receptor Mechanics
- Cholinergic receptors include muscarinic and nicotinic types, with specific locations of activation.
- Adrenergic receptor types include alpha and beta, which mediate various physiological responses.
Clinical Applications
- Sympathomimetics and adrenergic antagonists provided for various medical conditions affecting heart rate, blood pressure, and other autonomic functions.
- Cholinergic medications influence PSNS activity; excessive stimulation (cholinergic crisis) can lead to severe adverse effects requiring management with anticholinergics.
Key Takeaway
- Understanding sensory versus motor systems, autonomic nervous system structures, and pharmacological impacts aids in clinical practice without overstressing memorization of medications.
