Q

Beta2 receptors on smooth muscle..

A

increase PKA, phophorylate and inhibit myosin light chain kinase, diminish Ca++ levels and inhibit myosin light chain kinase —-> decrease muscle contractility

Q

Epinephrine will activate… receptors.

A

Alpha, Beta1, and Beta2 receptors

21
Q

Norepi does not activate.. receptors.

A

B2

22
Q

Cardiac effects of epi and norepi are mainly generated via..

A

B1 effects

B2 effects contribute to epi activity

23
Q

Salivary Gland secretion moderated by..

A

mainly aplha1 and beta1 with some beta2; beta1 stimulates protein secretion

24
Q

Symptoms of anaphylaxis..

A

1) smooth muscle constriction
2) vasodilation
3) increased vascular permeabilty

25
Q

Epinephrine standard treatment of anaphylaxis. effects..

A

alpha receptors: increase BP
Beta1 receptors: positive cardiac effects
Beta2 receptors: broncodilation

26
Q

_______ is an alpha1 adrenergic agonist that is sometimes used as a vasoconstrictor in conjunction with a local anesthetic

A

levonordefrin

27
Q

adrenergic agonists used in conjunction with local anesthetics work to:

A

1) prolong duration of nerve block
2) diminish systemic toxicity of the anesthetic
3) minimize blood loss during surgical procedure

28
Q

Alpha2 agonists are thought to primarily work in..

A

central nervous system at presynaptic terminal

29
Q

____ receptor agonists are used primarily in the treatment of heart failure and cardiogenic shock

A

B1

30
Q

These drugs produce smooth muscle relaxation and primarily used to treat respiratory disease..

can also produce vasodilation in muscle and liver to produce relaxation of uterine tissue

A

B2 receptor agonists

31
Q

most serious side effect of adrenergic receptors..

A

cardiac disturbances: myocardial ischemia, heart attack, and arrhythmias

32
Q

CNS disturbances to alpha2 agonists..

A

dizziness, xerostomia, rebound hypertension if drugs withdrawn suddenly

33
Q

Conditions associated with increased sympathetic activity (e.g., phenochromocytoma) are treated with..

A

alpha1 adrenergic receptor antagonists

34
Q

drugs ending in “zosin”..

A

alpha1 antagonist

35
Q

anything used to lower BP may have this side effect..

A

orthostatic hypotension.

36
Q

Non-selective Alpha adrenergic antagonists..

38
Q

Beta blockers are either _________ or ___ selective, because…

A

non-selective, B1

Blockade of B2 receptors is generally undesirable

39
Q

Beta blockers..

decrease heart rate and force of contraction

40
Q

Beta blockers without ISA..

A

decrease resting heart rate; plasma renin activity, and cardiac output

41
Q

Beta blockers with ISA..

A

do not depress cardiac fxn or plasma renin activity as well but do attentuate agonist driven increases
