B2 and a1
Epinephrine has its effects on relaxing bronchial smooth muscle by binding to this receptor: ___ and decreases bronchial secretion and congestion within bronchial mucosa by binding to this receptor: ___
Relax bronchial smooth m: B2
Decrease secretion: a1
Epinephrine has its effects on causing muscle tremor and increases K uptake by skeletal muscle by binding these receptors
B2
Epinephrine has its effects on blood glucose levels by enhancing liver glycogenolysis by binding to this receptor ___ and inhibits insulin release by binding to this receptor ___
Glycogenolysis: B2
Inhibit insulin: a2
Dopamine stimulation by binding to ___ causes vasodilation –> high density of these receptors in renal, cerebral, mesenteric, and coronary vessels
D1
This alpha adrenergic agonist binds a1 > a2»_space;»> B; it is an effective mydriatic and decongestant, causes severe vasoconstriction and BP elevation, and is not a catechol
Phenylephrine
This drug is a selective a2 agonist has a central effect on a2 receptors in the lower brainstem area which decreases sympathetic outflow, reduction in BP, and bradycardia. Its local application produces vasoconstriction
Clonidine
___ activates a2 receptors in the vasomotor center of the brain, reduces sympathetic activity in the body, and reduces peripheral vascular resistant, decreases heart rate and CO
Clonidine
Isoproterenol is a non-selective beta agonist. Name the receptor associated with the following actions of isoproterenol:
- Positive inotropic and chronotropic action, increases CO: ___
- Vasodilator, decreases arterial pressure: ___
- Causes bronchodilation: ___
B1
B2
B2
This drug is a selective B1 agonist with potent inotropic action. It has less prominent chronotropic action as compared to isoproterenol
Dobutamine
These drugs are selective B2 agonists that cause bronchodilation and relaxation of the uterus
Terbutaline and albuterol
This indirect sympathomimetic drug inhibits the re-uptake of DA and NE
Cocaine
This indirect sympathomimetic drug inhibits MAO
Selegiline and phenelzine
These indirect sympathomimetic drugs reverse NE and DA uptake mechanism and increase their relese
Amphetamines, Methylphenidate, and Tyramine
This indirect sympathomimetic drug is a releasing agent AND direct adrenergic receptor agonist
Ephedrine
