adrenergic receptor: is often shortened to “B, receptors,” but adrenergic is understood.Chapter 3: Autonomic Nervous System Parasympathetic System activates cholinergic receptors stimulates Cardiac Inhibitory Effects rate of SA Node pacing & rate of conduction 4 force of contraction & irritability of atrial and Junctional foci Parasympathetic nerves release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), which activates cardiac cholinergic receptors (most are within the atria) to produce a cardiac inhibitory effect. Conversely, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by its parasympathetic innervation. Parasympathetic activation of cholinergic receptors by ACh: .. inhibits the SA Node, decreasing the heart . rat ..- decreases the speed of myocardial conduction, and depresses the AV . N ...diminishes the force of myocardial 3 contractit ...and depresses irritability of automaticity mainly those in the atria and AV Junction. ‘Note! The vagus nerves are the body’s main parasympathetic pathway, so “vagal” stimulation means parasympathetic stimulation, with the understanding that vagal “stimulation” of the heart is inhibitory. INOt@! Despite the parasympathetic system’s inhibiting effect on the heart, parasympathetic activation of cholinergic receptors stimulates the gastro-intestinal tract. Recalling the agony of severe vomiting or an episode of painful, crampy diarrhea will help you remember the effect of excessive parasympathetic stimulation of the stomach and the bowel.
