Al-Mehdi CV-ANS Pharm Flashcards
baroreceptor control via carotid sinus and aortic arch respond to what
stretch
carotid _____ senses stretch
sinus
carotid ____ senses oxygen
body
nucleus in brain that is collector of all visceral input
NTS
nucleus in brain that provides only motor supply of the heart
Nucleus Ambiguus
the carotid sinus branch of what nerve goes to NTS then nucleus ambiguus to provide action of heart in response to increased or decreased stretch
carotid sinus branch of CN IX (glossopharyngeal)
nerve that is primary sensor for oxygen in carotid body
vagus n.
for baroreceptor of carotid sinus, when do the afferents fire
when MAP goes up OR down
for baroreceptor of aortic arch, when do afferents fire
only when MAP goes up
normal tension where there is no firing from carotid sinus or aortic arch
MAP of 85
what happens when MAP drops from 85 to 60 (hypotension)
firing at carotid sinus to NTS then CVLM, RVLM, to IML and send NE to B1(Gs) on SA, AV, and myocardium
what happens when MAP increases from 85 to 120
firing at both carotid sinus and aortic arch to NTS, signal relayed to Nucleus Ambiguus to vagus to slow down HR (mainly has Ach binding to M2 (Gi) on SA node)
main receptor and activity of NE
a1 (constriction/contraction)
activates all receptors equally
Epi
products of adrenal medulla
Epi and NE
NE when bound to a2 (Gi) on presynaptic side
inhibitory effects
Clonidine
alpha-methyldopa
tizanidine
agonists that bind a2 and inhibit NE activity
NE when bound to a1 (Gq) on postsynaptic side
activation (contraction)
NE when bound to B1 (Gs) on postsynaptic side
activation (contraction)
is body more worried about lower bp or higher bp
lower bp (hypotension)
