AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PART 3 by Professor Fink.wmv

This is Part 3 of Professor Fink’s Autonomic Nervous System Lecture. This Video Lecture continues the COMPARISON between the physiological role of the Sympathetic Response to STRESS versus the role of the Parasympathetic Response to the REST & DIGEST stage, EXPLAINING the action [benefit] of each on all of the principal organs of the body.

Professor Fink then describes the 4 Major Classes of AUTONOMIC DRUGS: [1] Parasympathomimetic Drugs; [2] Sympathomimetic Drugs; [3] Parasympatholytic Drugs; & [4] Sympatholytic Drugs. Both albuterol (as an example of a Beta-2 Sympathomimetic) and atenolol (as an example of a Beta-1 Adrenergic Blocker) are described as examples.

Reference is made to the Rest & Digest State, Stress State, fight, flight & freight, Acetylcholine (ACh), cholinergic nerve fibers, Norepineprhine (Norepi), muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor Sites, and alpha 1, beta 1, and beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor Sites.
