Can cigarette smoking lead to heart disease?
Cigarette smoking leads to heart disease. It contains numerous toxic agents along with nicotine. Nicotine stimulates the nicotinic receptors present in brain and in autonomous nervous system. So it excites the brain and both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It increases the blood pressure and make the wall of artery less elastic, so it hastens the process of atherosclerosis. Both of these are risk factors associated with myocardial infarction (heart attack).

A patient has an 80 percent blockage of his left anterior descending coronary artery Describe what occurs in terms of myocardial oxygen supply and demand if his sympathetic nervous system is stimulate?
Increased myocardial contractility increases the oxygen demand for the myocardial cells. If the demand of oxygen exceeds the supply, death of myocardial tissue can occur.

What is the sympathetic ganglion that distributes postganglionic neuron processes to the kidneys and gonads?
The sympathetic ganglion that distributes postganglionic neuron processes to the kidneys and gonads is the prevertebral ganglion called the superior mesenteric ganglion. It is located in the abdominal cavity, anterior to the aorta and just below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery.
