Q

Describe the process of how the heart responds to high MAP at the carotid sinus and aortic arch

A

aortic arch and carotid sinus send signals to the medulla–> medulla sends signals via vagus efferents to slow down heart rate

Q

Describe the process of formation of epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

tyrosine hydroxlase acts on tyrosine–> DOPA decarboxylates to Dopamine–> dopamine enters vesicle via VMAT and reacts with DBH to form norepinephrine–> adrenal medulla PNMT converts it to epinephrine

17
Q

What are the degradation products of epinephrine/norepinephrine and dopamine that can be measured in the urine

A

VMA, HVA

18
Q

degradation enzyme of the catecholamines found in the mitochondria

A

MAO

19
Q

degradation enzyme of the catecholamins found in the cytoplasm of effector cell

A

COMT

20
Q

Drugs that inhibit intraneuronal storage in vesicles, deplete NE

A

Resperine, Guanethidine

21
Q

Drug that substitutes for NE in storage vesicle, false transmitter

A

alpha-methyldopa

22
Q

Drugs that inhibit release of NE

A

Bretylium, Guanethidine

23
Q

Drug that release NE from vesicles

A

Amphetamine, ephedrine, tyramine

24
Q

Drugs that inhibit reuptake of NE in neuron

A

Imipramine, amitriptyline

25
Q

alpha 1 receptor works by this G-protein

A

Gq

26
Q

beta 1 and 2 receptors work by this G-protein

A

Gs

27
Q

alpha 2 receptor works by this G-protein

A

Gi (inhibits N-type and P-type calcium channels which are needed for neurotransmitter release)

28
Q

How do beta 1 receptors work in the heart

A

Gs–> adenylyl cyclcase converts ATP to cAMP–> cAMP activates PKA–> PKA leads to reactions that eventually lead to the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

29

Dobutamine is an agonist for this receptor

A

beta 1

30
Q

metoporol is an antagonist for this receptor

A

beta 1
