- respiration and respiratory systems. Inflation of the lungs in animals stops breathing by a reflex described by the German physiologist Ewald Hering and the Austrian physiologist Josef Breuer. The Hering-Breuer reflex is initiated by lung expansion, which excites stretch receptors in the airways. Stimulation of these receptors, which send signals to the medulla by the vagus nerve, shortens inspiratory times as tidal volume (the...

BasicâAlimentary TractAdrenergic Stimulation Mediates Visceral Hypersensitivity to Colorectal Distension Following Heterotypic Chronic Stress The resting membrane potential (Figure 5A) and rheobase (Figure 5B) significantly decreased in neurons treated with 250 ng/mL NGF, when compared with those treated with 2.5 ng/mL NGF. The number of action potentials generated at 2× rheobase was greater in neurons treated with high NGF than that with low NGF controls, but it did not reach statistical significance (P = .11, data not shown).

Baroreflex Sensitivity Assessment - Latest Advances and Strategies The baroreflex mechanism has been recognised as a key part of cardiovascular regulation. Alterations in the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex (baroreflex sensitivity [BRS]) contribute to sympathetic–parasympathetic imbalance, playing a major role in the development and progression of many cardiovascular disorders.

The Trigeminal Nerve (CN V) In the corneal reflex, the ophthalmic nerve acts as the afferent limb – detecting the stimuli. The facial nerve is the efferent limb, causing contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle. If the corneal reflex is absent, it is a sign of damage to the trigeminal/ophthalmic nerve, or the facial nerve.

- If the reflex is abolished through use of a local anesthetic such as tetracaine, amelioration of these tissue changes that interfere with healing is favored. The local anesthetic action of tetracaine has proved to be of great value in alleviating the pain reflex in painful skin and ear conditions.

Mechanoreceptor A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion. Normally there are four main types in glabrous skin: Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's discs, and Ruffini endings.amellar corpuscles, or Pacinian corpuscles, are pressure receptors located in the skin and also in various internal organs. Each is connected to a sensory neuron. Because of its relatively large size, a single lamellar corpuscle can be isolated and its properties studied.

Basic NeuroscienceIn vivo AAV-mediated expression of calbindin-D 28K in rat basal forebrain cholinergic neurons The cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain (BFCNs) in human and non-human primates are rich in the calcium binding protein calbindin-D 28k (CB).n the studies reported here, a multi-use AAV vector system was employed for delivering the CB gene to the rat BFCNs. In one system, a cDNA encoding CB was inserted into pACP, a generic AAV vector in which expression is under the control of CMV immediate early gene promoter.

Immunology pattern-recognition receptors. Pattern recognition receptors (PRR) are a class of innate immune response-expressed proteins that respond to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) and endogenous stress signals termed danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMP).volutionarily more ancient, the innate immune system relies on a much smaller number of receptors, called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Multicellular animals employ pattern recognition receptors to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in order to detect pathogens.

Co-stimulation The latter case induces recognition by antigen-specific Th2 cells, leading to activation of the B cell through binding of TCR to the MHC-antigen complex. It is followed by synthesis and presentation of CD40L (CD154) on the Th2 cell, which binds to CD40 on the B cell, thus the Th2 cell can co-stimulate the B cell.

- Explain Vagus Nerve-Neural Control of Respiration The rhythm and depth of respiration are controlled by the reflexes from the vagus nerve. When the lungs are inflated, there is an arrest of inspiration. When lungs are deflated, the opposite effect is observed. This reflex is called 'Hering-Breuver reflex '.

Supraoptic nucleus Oxytocin neurons themselves express oxytocin receptors, and vasopressin neurons express vasopressin receptors, so dendritically-released peptides autoregulate the supraoptic neurons. Francoise Moos and Phillipe Richard first showed that the autoregulatory action of oxytocin is important for the milk-ejection reflex.

Acid Stimulation (Sour Taste) Elicits GABA and Serotonin Release from Mouse Taste Cells Several transmitter candidates including serotonin (5-HT), ATP, and norepinephrine (NE) have been identified in taste buds. Recently, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as well as the associated synthetic enzymes and receptors have also been identified in taste cells.reviously, we demonstrated that ATP stimulates isolated Presynaptic cells to secrete 5-HT in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner, indicative of P2Y-mediated intracellular Ca 2+ mobilization and not Ca 2+ influx [12] . Here, as with taste buds (above), we tested whether ATP stimulated isolated Presynaptic cells to release GABA.

Homodimer and heterodimer formations of ERBB receptors Homodimer and heterodimer formations of ERBB receptors. Receptors are shown as two lobes connected by a transmembrane stretch. Binding of a ligand, neuregulin (NRG, blue square) or something EGF-like to the extracellular lobe activates the receptors. On ErbB1, ErbB3, (note inactive kinase, marked by a cross) or ErbB4 induces homodimer formation.

- Four types of velocity receptors are found in hairy skin. G2 hair receptors are the peripheral ends of type A beta fibers terminating around the base of guard hairs in the base of hair follicles. They respond to both slow and rapid movement of hairs and deflection of the skin.hemoreceptors are defined as those receptors which respond most easily to chemical stimulation. External chemoreceptors include taste cells and olfactory cells, which give rise to the conscious sensations of taste and smell. Internal chemoreceptors respond to changes in circulating PCO2 PO2, and pH.

Chapter 13: Reflex Activity Abdominal reflexes are initiated by stroking the skin of the lateral abdomen around the umbilicus. It is used to check the integrity of the spinal cord from T8-T12. The cremasteric reflex is obvious in males only; it checks the integrity of the lumbar plexus via the genitofemoral nerve at levels L1-L2.

Histamine Smooth muscle around bronchi in the lungs and within the intestinal tract respond to histmine stimulation by contraction, although the magnitude of response varies considerably among species. These effects also depend on which receptor is being bound by histamine; for example, the H2 receptor mediates bronchodilation.

- Great statement regarding bulbocavernosus reflex: The reflex is spinal mediated and involves S2-S4 (i.e. the entire reflex exists in an afferent limb, a synapse AT level S2-S4, and an efferent arc). The absence of the reflex without sacral spinal cord trauma indicates SPINAL SHOCK. Typically this is one of the first reflexes to return after spinal shock.
