Patho 3

Neurotransmitters released from parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons:
Preganglionic neuron of sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons
- Neurotransmitter = ACh (acetylcholine)
- Receptor = Nicotinic cholinergic receptor
Neurotransmitters released from parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons:
Postganglionic sympathetic neuron
- Neurotransmitter = Norepinephrine
- Receptor = Adrenergic receptor
Neurotransmitters released from parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons:
Postganglionic parasympathetic neuron
- Neurotransmitter = ACh (acetylcholine)
- Receptor = Muscarinic cholinergic receptor
Saturated Fatty Acids (SFAs)
- Non-essential
- = Lauric acid (C12)
- = Myristic acid (C14)
- = Palmitic acid (C15)
Essential Fatty Acids
(EFAs)
- Linoleic acid (C18:2;w6)
- Arachidonic acid (C20:4;w6) - essential if diet not sufficient in linoleic acid
- Alpha-linoleic acid (C18:3;w3) -->
- EPA - Eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5;w3)
- DHA - Docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6;w3)
Normal plasma osmolality
- 280-300 mmol/kg
- 280-300 mOsm/kg
Effect of hypernatremia on water distribution
(hyperglycemia, hypertonic solution)

hypernatremia --> hyperosmolality --> water moves out of cells --> cell dehydration
Effect of hyponatremia on water distribution
(hypoglycemia, hypotonic solution)

hyponatremia --> hypoosmolality --> water into cells from ECF --> cellular edema
