Q

physiology of PNS on muscarinic receptor activation on vascular

A
  1. vasodilation M3 via endothelial cells

Note: M3 receptors are not innervated- activation of the PNS does not result in vasodilation

They can be activated by muscarinic agonist drugs

17
Q

Someone just opened relaxed their bronchial smooth muscle aka bronchodilation what receptor did they activate?

A

beta 2, just like with the heart beta 2 cause vasodilation and arteries have smooth muscle so beta 2 smooth muscle

18
Q

Say you wanted someone to suffocate and make it look like an accident you would want to switch their beta 2 agonist with what type of adrenergic receptor?

A

an alpha 1 receptor because it cause constriction… not sure if this would work but might help it stick

19
Q

During sympathetic innervation you want you eyes to dilate so you can see everything. what adrenergic receptor is responsible for this?

A

alpha 1 cause mydriasis

20
Q

When someone has glaucoma they have increased intraocular pressure and to help with this you give timolol drops. Knowing this, what adrenergic receptor is responsible for increased production of aqueous humor?

A

beta receptors because timolol is a beta blocker

21
Q

A decrease in neurotransmitter release with presynaptic nerve terminals is caused by what adrenergic receptor?

A

alpha 2

22
Q

Relaxation of the smooth muscle in the GI tract is caused by what two adrenergic receptors?

A

beta 2 and beta 3

23
Q

If someone has just had a release of the adrenergic alpha 2 receptor will they be able to have contraction of smooth muscle in the GI tract?

A

No because alpha 2 is an inhibitory adrenergic receptor so it stops the release of ach and thus no ach mediated muscle contraction

24
Q

If a gland is unable too secrete due to the inability of the release of Ach to act on Ach mediated muscle contraction, what adrenergic receptor do you think is responsible?

A

alpha 2 because of its effect on presynaptic

25
Q

Match the following i.e number with letter

  1. uterine smooth muscle
  2. uretal sphincter, bladder base, prostate
  3. bladder wall musculature
  4. ejaculation

A. Alpha 1
B. beta 2 and 3 promoting urine
c. Beta 2 causing relaxation
d. Alpha 1 causing contraction

A

1 and C

2 and D

3 and B

4 and A

26
Q

Activation of what adrenergic receptor causes a marked tremor (hint propanolol is used to treat essential tremors)

A

Beta-2 receptor

27
Q

Beta 2 adrenergic receptor has what effect on metabolism

A

increased blood glucose

your running from the bear so you need glucose for energy so your sympathetic nervous system kicks in activating Beta 2

28
Q

You have been running from a beast for a long time and your out of glucose so now you want to break down fat. What adrenergic receptor is activated for this?

A

beta 3

29
Q

For some reason your body secretes way to much insulin so you want to decrease this. What adrenergic receptor should you activate?

A

alpha 2 will decrease insulin secretion

30
Q

Well damn now you body doesn’t secrete enough insulin which adrenergic receptor do you need to now activate?

A

beta 2

31
Q

Nicotinic come from autonomic ganglia. what is their effect on cardiovascular

A

primarily sympathetic via adrenal epi release or neuronal NE release

32
Q

Nicotinic receptor effects on GI/urinary tract

A

primarily PSNS effects via postganglionic acetycholine release

this increases GI motility, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, urination

33
Q

Nicotinic effects on brain

A
  1. Mild alerting effect
  2. Activates “reward” pathway in limbic system
  3. Convulsion can occur at toxic dose
34
Q

How do direct agonists drugs work?

A

mimicking the neurotransmitter action at the receptor.

35
Q

So how does an antagonist drug work?

A

Blocking the neurotransmitter action at the receptor

36
Q

how do parasympatholytic and sympatholytic agents work?

A

They change the normal action of the neurotransmitter aka indirect agonist

  1. increase or decrease synthesis
  2. Increase or decrease storage and release
  3. Block inactivation after release
37
Q

Would you rather use drugs that act post-synaptically or pre-synaptically?

A

Post-synaptically because they have the greates selectivity and most clinically useful. They act at specific receptor subtypes as either agonist or antagonist

38
Q

How do drugs that act pre-synaptically work?

A

by altering synthesis, storage or release, or inactivation mechanism

39
Q

Why are pre-synaptically drugs less useful?

A

because they effect all synapses for neurotransmitter regardless of which receptor subtype is present

40
Q

You gave your patient Pyridostigmine to treat myasthenia gravis by inhibiting the breakdown of Ach. is this a indirect cholinergic agonist or direct cholinergic agonist

A

indirect because it stops cholinesterase from breaking down ACH so therefore indirectly assisting Ach
