The Stabbing - Actions of the autonomic nervous system - Response to trauma
11 important questions on The Stabbing - Actions of the autonomic nervous system - Response to trauma
What are the physiological changes associated with the flight or fight response?
- acceleration in breathing rate
- inhibition of salivary glands
- general effect on sphincters of the body
- constriction of blood vessels
- dilation of the blood vessels that supply the muscles
- increase production of glucose
- increase metabolism of fats, proteins, carbohydrates for energy
- dilation of the pupils
- relaxation of the bladder
- inhibition of erection
What are some of the endocrine responses?
Fat metabolism increases = increase in cortisol, corticotrophins and growth hormone
Protein metabolism increases = cortisol and corticotrophins
Carbs metabolism increases = cortisol and corticotrophins
What are the sympathoadrenal responses?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the hypothalmic-pituitary adrenal axis response?
increase in secretion: cortisol, corticotrophins, growth hormone, prolactin
decrease in secretion: TSH, LH and FSH
Posterior
increase secretion of ADH
What is the immunological response?
What is the relationship between IL-6 and the acute phase response?
CRP-liver
ESR
Fibrinogen
Ferritin
What is the role of corticotrophins?
Glucocorticoid is the main hormone responsible for the resistant phase.
What is the role GH?
Prevents proteins breakdown.
Stimulates protein synthasis.
What is the role of thyroid hormone?
Increases carbs absorption from the gut.
Stimulates the peripheral and central nervous system
What is the role of renin?
What are the effects of trauma on breathing?
T1-T11: intercostal muscles
T7-T12: abdominal muscles
Cervical region: need support breathing
Weak breathing means that bacteria cannot be expelled out of the body appropriately and so risk of bacterial infection increases
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
