5 Questions
What are the main clinical effects associated with the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems on the eye's effector organs?
Sympathetic: Relaxation of ciliary muscle, Contraction of iris radial muscle (mydriasis), Decreased aqueous humor production. Parasympathetic: Contraction of ciliary muscle, Contraction of the iris sphincter muscle (miosis).
What are the main clinical effects associated with the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems on the heart?
Sympathetic: Increased HR (tachycardia, positive chronotropy), Increased contractility (positive inotropy), Increase automaticity and conduction of AV node (positive dromotropy). Parasympathetic: Decreased HR (bradycardia, negative chronotropy), Decreased contractility (negative inotropy), Decreased AV node.
Which receptors are primarily involved in the sympathetic effects on the heart?
Beta-1 receptors
Which receptor is primarily involved in the parasympathetic effects on the heart?
M1 receptors
Which effect is associated with sympathetic stimulation of Beta-2 receptors?
Vasodilation and bronchodilation
Study Notes
Clinical Effects on the Eye's Effector Organs
- Sympathetic system: dilates pupils (mydriasis), relaxes ciliary muscle (cycloplegia), and increases aqueous humor outflow
- Parasympathetic system: constricts pupils (miosis), contracts ciliary muscle (accommodation), and decreases aqueous humor outflow
Clinical Effects on the Heart
- Sympathetic system: increases heart rate, contracts heart muscle, and increases blood pressure
- Parasympathetic system: decreases heart rate, relaxes heart muscle, and decreases blood pressure
Receptors Involved in Heart Effects
- Sympathetic effects: primarily involve Beta-1 receptors
- Parasympathetic effects: primarily involve M2 receptors
Sympathetic Stimulation of Beta-2 Receptors
- Associated with relaxation of smooth muscle, including bronchodilation and vasodilation
