Autonomic dysreflexia is a potentially dangerous complication of spinal cord injury at or above the sixth thoracic vertebral level. It is characterized by imbalanced reflex sympathetic discharge leading to hypertension and bradycardia. If not treated it can give rise to stroke and death. The most common causes of autonomic dysreflexia include overdistension of bladder or bowel.

Be sure to define what autonomic tone is within your response and how the system cannot differentiate between external or internal stress.

Assuming that you had an agonist and an antagonist for every autonomic transmitter receptor, how could you determine which receptor types exist in any autonomically controlled effector? Using the method you defined in Question 1 and your knowledge of the Autonomic control of the function of the internal organs, predict the effects (increase, decrease, or no change) of the following autonomic agonists on heart rate (HR). AGONIST HR CHANGE alpha-adrenergic beta-adrenergic muscarinic nicotinic Using autonomic pharmacological agents, how could you...
