Q

Adrenergic receptor types (Norepinephrine)

A

a1 b1
a2 b2
a3 b3

29
Q

Sweat glands are stimulated by NE

A

False, sweat glands are innervated in the SNS by ACh

30
Q

Catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MOA) metabolizes which neurotransmitters?

A

Norepinephrine and Epinephrine

31
Q

Indirect acting adrenergic agonists directly bind to the receptors (True or false)

A

False direct acting adrenergic agonists bind directly receptors and indirect acting adrenergic agonists inhibits enzymes or inhibits uptake or causes release of neurotransmitters.

32
Q

a1 receptors are located in cardiac tissue

A

False, a1 receptors are found in vascular smooth muscle and the eye. B1 receptors can be found in cardiac tissue.

33
Q

a2 receptors when binding to a agonist causes NE release

A

False, inhibits NE release

34
Q

B2 have a increased affinity for Epinephrine compared to NE

A

True

35
Q

B2 receptors are located in the….

A

Respiratory tract
Uterus
Vsm
Liver

36
Q

Function of … when agonist binds
a1
b1
b2

A

a1 - agonist causes smooth muscle contraction
b2 - agonist binding increases heart rate
b2 - agonists bind to receptor in respiratory and uterine smooth muscle causing relaxation. Also causes vasodilation.
