System
(Introduction)
The functions of the different body
systems are regulated mainly by 2
systems:
a) Nervous system
b) Endocrine system
Somatic Autonomic
Sympathetic Parasympathetic
Somatic nervous system
Or voluntary nervous system.
Innervates the somatic structures in the
body
system
Arise from all thoracic segments + upper 2 Lumbar
segments (T1-L2)
So it is called thoracolumbar outflow.
Synapse in paravertebral
Ganglia
N.B.:
system.
Parasympathetic nervous
system
Arise
from cranial (III,VII,IX,X) &
sacral (2nd,3rd,4th ) areas.
So it is called Craniosacral outflow
It
is released from one neuron into
the synaptic cleft, and then
combines with specific receptor on
postsynaptic cell membrane
Types of
Neurotransmitters:
Most popular :
Cholinergic fibers
Release Ach. as neurotransmitter
Adrenergic fibers
Release Norepinephrine as
neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine
-ACH synthesis
sweat glands.
Some Blood Vesseles of skeletal muscles .
Cholinergic
.Nicotinic receptors-
receptors
as they are stimulated by small
.dose of nicotine
.Muscarinic receptors-
as they are stimulated by
.muscarine
Cholinergic receptors

Dopamine
Dopamine-beta hydroxylase
Norepinephrine
-PNMT (phenylethanolamine -N
)methyltransferase
Adrenal medulla &certain C.N.S(
)neurons Epinephrine
:The major part is catabolized as follow
2- Metabolized by Catechol O-
methyltransferase (COMT) in synaptic space
to O-methylated derivatives.
e.g. adrenaline,
noradrenaline,..
Sympatholytic drugs
They are anti-adrenergic drugs.
e.g. atropine
