Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on SA node

A

binds to M2 receptor

decreases HR via negative chronotropy

17
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on AV node

A

binds to M2 receptor

decrease conduction velocity via negative dromotropy

18
Q

what happens to ventricular contraction with muscarinic receptor activation?

A

decreased ventricular contraction

no effects on ventricles of purkinje system

19
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on bronchioles

A

binds to M3 receptor

causes contraction - bronchospasm

20
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on glands in lungs

A

secretion (narrows lumen)

21
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors in stomach

A

binds to M3 receptor

increases motility, cramps

22
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors in glands of GI tract

A

binds to M1/3

increases secretion

23
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors in intestine

A

binds to M3 receptors

causes contraction - diarrhea, involuntary defecation

24
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on bladder

A

binds to M3 receptors

contraction (detrusor) and relaxation of trigone/sphincter –> voiding, urinary incontinence

25
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on sphincters

A

binds to M3 receptors

causes relaxation

26
Q

what is the only sphincter which contracts with activation of M3 receptors?

A

lower esophageal sphincter

27
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on glands

A

binds to M3 receptors

secretion - sweat (thermoregulatory), salivation, and lacrimation

28
Q

effects of muscarinic receptors on blood vessels

A

binds M3 receptors

dilation (EDRF)

29
Q

how do M1 and M3 work in glands of GI tract

A

M3 receptors are on parietal cells are directly activates to secrete acid
M1 receptors activated histamine secretion which also stimulates acid secretion

30
Q

when the endothelium is damaged… drect effect of M3 activation on VSMC causes…

A

vasoconstriction

normally M3 causes vasodilation

31
Q

adrenal medulla response to nicotinic receptor activation

A

Nn receptor

secretion of epinephrine and Ne

32
Q

autonomic ganglia response to nicotinic receptor activation

A

Nn receptor

stimulation - net effects dependent of PANS/SANS innervation and dominance

33
Q

neuromuscular junction response to nicotinic receptor activation

A

Nm receptor

stimulation - twitch/hyperactivty of skeletal muscle
