Andrenergics/Adrenergic Blockers

Question 1

What does ANS regulate?

Answer 1

BP, HR, RR, body temp, water balance, urinary excretion, digestive functions

Question 2

What does SNS regulate?

Answer 2

Sweating, influences metabolism and renal function

Question 3

Alpha Blockers mech of action:

Answer 3

Lower blood pressure by blocking the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on blood vessels, causing them to relax and dilate, thus reducing resistance to blood flow

Question 4

Alpha blockers medication effects:

Answer 4

Causes both arterial and venous dilation, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and BP, constriction of the pupils, increased GI tract motility

Question 5

Alpha blockers indications:

Answer 5

HTN

Question 6

Dig immune fab:

Answer 6

Very toxic, only for life-threatening s/s, last resort otherwise HCP will hold medication

Question 7

Alpha 1:

Answer 7

located on postsynaptic effector cells
-cell,muscle, or organ that the nerve stimulates

Question 8

Alpha-2:

Answer 8

located on presynaptic nerve terminals
-nerve that stimulates the effector cells
-control the release of neurotransmitters

Question 9

Alpha-Adrenergic Agonist responses:

Answer 9

-vasocontsriction
-CNS Stimulation

Question 10

Beta 1:

Answer 10

located on heart

Question 11

beta 2:

Answer 11

located on the smooth muscle of bronchioles, arterioles, visceral organs
(LUNGS)

Question 12

Beta-Adrenergic Agonist Responses:

Answer 12

-Bronchial, gastrointestinal, and uterine smooth muscle relaxation
-glycogenolysis
-cardiac stimulation
