36
Q

what is the adrenergic effect and receptor of the blood vessels (skeletal muscle)

A

relaxation (more blood and power to muscle)

β2

37
Q

what is the adrenergic effect and receptor of the lungs

A

relaxation of bronchiolar smooth muscle, decreased secretion

β2

38

β2 α1

40
Q

β2

41

α

42

M3

51
Q

M3

53
Q

what is the cholinergic effect and receptor of the eye/iris

54
Q

what is autonomic tone

A

that most visceral organs receive both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation

55
Q

does parasympathetic or sympathetic have more autonomic tone

A

para

56
Q

what are the main tissues under sympathetic tone

+the sympathetic role

A

arterioles and veins (vasoconstrict)
spleen (immune response)
kidney (renin secretion)

57
Q

what happens with ganglionic or adrenoceptor blockade to arterioles

A

vasodilation, increased peripheral blood flow, flushing, hypotension

58
Q

what happens with ganglionic or adrenoceptor blockade to veins

A

vasodilation, pooling of blood, decreased venous return, decreased cardiac output

59
Q

what is the main autonomic tone to heart and why is it beneficial

A

parasympathetic

-to increase HR, just remove the parasympathetic breaks–> it is easier than trying to wait for sympathetic stimulation

60
Q

what determines how target tissue will respond to systemic administration of muscarinic/cholinergic or adrenergic blocking agents?

A

whether the tissue is under predominantly sympathetic or parasympathetic tone

61
Q

what is atropine

and some side effects

A

muscarinic antagonist

so like constipation, tachycardia, dry mouth, urinary retention

62
Q

what does α-adrenoceptor antagonist do to blood flow/vessels and why

A

produces vasodilation and lowers blood pressure because vessels are usually under adrenergic tone (state of constriction)

63
Q

what is the baroreceptor reflex

A

decreased aortic BP-decreased baroreceptor activity in carotid sinus, aortic arch lungs and heart send afferent info to nucleus of solitary tract and ventrolateral medulla

causes efferent sympathetic outflow increased and decreased parasympathetic outflow from brain

this increases HR and BP via vasoconstriction

64
Q

what does high aortic pressure do (baroreceptor reflex pathway)

A

high pressure, increases baroreceptor discharge, activation of parasympathetic outflow and reduce sympathetic outflow (low HR and vasodilate)

65
Q

how is baroreceptor involved in postural reflex

A

standing-25% blood goes to legs

reflex triggers increased HR and constriction of vessels in veins
