CONCEPTS

This document discusses concepts related to the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), and autoimmune diseases. The SNS uses epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine as chemical agonists during stress responses. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors break down these chemicals. Autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis are caused by stress and illness activating killer T cells and antibodies in a lifelong cycle of exacerbation and remission. Myasthenia gravis specifically causes muscle weakness due to a lack of muscle contraction.

CONCEPTS

SNS- STRESSSED STIMULATED, EXCITED


EPI IS ADRENALINE = ADRENERGIC SYSTEM
ADRENERGIC CHEMICALS AGONIST– EPI, NOREPI, DOPA
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) BREAKS DOWN EPI, NOREPI , DOPA
EVERYTHING HIGH AND LOW EXCEPT GI GU (COMPENSATORY MECHANISM)
*PRONE TO STRESS ULCER, GASTRIC ISCHEMIA

PNS – CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM


ACETLYCHOLINE- CGOLINERGIC AGONISTS

AUTO IMMUNE- lifetime


ALWAYS EXACERBATION REMISSION
Can be juvenile to adults
Caused by stress and illness
By killer tcells and anti bodies

MG
No muscle contraction – muscle weakness
More on skeletal muscles not heart

DEGENERATIVE – NO CURE
