NURS 216 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Butyric Acid, Basal Ganglia, Rocuronium Bromide
Document Summary
Bind to a receptor on the postsynaptic neuron". Stimulating an action potential or not (inhibitory). Removing the neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft. Neurons: pre & post ganglionic efferent signaling slide 6. As the cns is communicating with the pns we see right from the top that acetylcholine is very important in terms of that neuromuscular junction. Presence in the sympathetic division at the first neurojunction at the ganglion. Presence in the sympathetic division where it stimulates the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla becomes an organ of excretion for norepinephrine and epinephrine as hormones. As you can see acetylcholine effects are widely distributed. Due to this, depending on the specificity of the drug we will certain/different actions on acetylcholine. Norepinephrine in the post ganglionic signaling is only present exclusively in that sympathetic division at the post ganglionic neuron junction at the effector organ. Cellular depolarization: ca, na influx & k efflux slide 7.
