The document discusses the autonomic nervous system and neuromuscular blockade. It defines the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It also describes autonomic hyperreflexia, its symptoms, and management strategies. The document further discusses the neuromuscular junction, types of neuromuscular blockers, and symptoms of cholinergic crisis.

1. NURS 315/501 BOOTCAMP
Lecture:
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

2. Autonomic Nervous System
• Name the 2 divisions
of the ANS.
• Describe their basic
functions.

3. Autonomic Nervous System
• Draw the structure of both divisions of the
ANS.

4. Autonomic Nervous System
• On the ANS structure
drawing,
1. Identify the 3
neurotransmitters of
the ANS,
2. Locate their site of
action, and
3. Label the division of
the ANS do they
exert their function.

5. Autonomic Nervous System
• Compare and contrast both divisions of the
ANS.
1. Location of pre-ganglionic cell bodies.
2. Length of pre-ganglionic axons.
3. General function.
4. Nature of peripheral response.
5. Pre-ganglionic NT.
6. Post-ganglionic NT.
7. Receptor on end organ.

6. Autonomic Nervous System
What is the location and
the response to
stimulation of
adrenergic receptors?
What is the location and
response to
stimulation of
cholinergic receptors?

7. Autonomic Nervous System
• Draw a longitudinal picture of the spinal
cord.
• Identify and label the spinal cord segments
according to levels.
• Identify the level of injury at which
autonomic hyperreflexia (AH) occurs.
• Describe the s/s of AH.
• Identify management strategies of AH.

8. Neuromuscular Blockade
• Draw a neuromuscular
junction.
• Identify the division
of the peripheral
nervous system to
which a
neuromuscular
junction belongs to.

9. Neuromuscular Blockade
• Name the type of
receptor at the muscle.
• Name the
neurotransmitter
involved in the
stimulation of muscle
cells.

10. Neuromuscular Blockade
• Describe the
difference between
depolarizing and non-
depolarizing
neuromuscular
blockers using the NM
junction drawing.

11. Neuromuscular Blockade
• Explain the method of action of
acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
• Name a drug under this category.
• Describe the setting in which is commonly used.

12. Neuromuscular Blockade
• Describe the s/s of
cholinergic crisis.
