Q

functions of parasympathetic

A
  • SLUDD (salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, defeacation)- anabolic, conserves and stores energy

17
Q

types of Ach receptors

A
  • nicotinic (Nm and Nn)- muscarinic ( M1, M2, M3)
18
Q

explain nicotinic receptors

A
  1. muscle-type and nerve-type2. cause membrane depolarization3. role in neuromuscular junction (skeletal) and ganglionic transmission (nerve)
19
Q

explain muscarinic M1

A
  1. in CNS, ganglia, gastric, parietal cells2. increase IP3, DAG (excitation)3. role in memory CNS, gastric acid secretion, GI motility
20
Q

explain muscarinic M2

A
  1. in cardiac conducting tissue and presynaptic terminals2. decrease CAMP (inhibition)3. role in cardiac, presynaptic and neural inhibition
21
Q

explain muscarinic M3

A
  1. exocrine gland, smooth muscle and blood vessels2. increase IP3, DAG (excitation)3. role in secretion, SM contraction, vasodilatation
22
Q

cholinoceptor agonists

A
  • acetylcholine- carbachol- methacholine- bethanechol
23
Q

cholinoceptor agonist that do not hydrolyse by AchE

A

bethanecol

24
Q

Nicotinic muscular type agonist

A
  • Ach- suxamethonium- decamethonium
25
Q

nicotinic muscular type antagonist

A
  • vecuronium- pancuronium
26
Q

nicotinic nerve type agonist

A
  • Ach- nicotine- epibatidine
27
Q

nicotinic nerve type antagonist

A
  • trimetaphan- hexamethonium
28
Q

AchE can be block by

A

serine occlusion

29
Q

products of hydrolysis of AchE are

A
  • choline- acetic acid- regenerated enzyme
30
Q

reuptake of NA is blocked by

A
  • cocaine- tricyclic antidepressants
31
Q

adrenoceptor B1

A
  1. in heart, intestine, smooth muscle2. increase cAMP3. increase BP
32
Q

adrenoceptor B2

A
  1. In bronchial, vascular and uterine smooth muscle2. bronchodilation, vasodilation, uterine SM3. increase cAMP
33
Q

adrenoceptor A1

A
  1. postsynaptic 2. increase IP3, DAG3. increase BP4. cause vasoconstriction
34
Q

adrenoceptor A2

A
  1. presynaptic2. decrease cAMP
35
Q

a adrenoreceptors agonist specificity

A

noradrenaline > adrenaline > isoprenaline

36
Q

b adrenoreceptors agonist specificity

A

isoprenaline >> adrenaline > noradrenaline

37

a adrenoreceptors antagonist specificity

A

phentolamine

38
Q

b adrenoreceptors antagonist specificity

A

propanalol

39
Q

actions of NA terminated by when

A
  1. reuptake into nerve terminal2. dilution and diffusion from cleft and uptake at non-neuronal sites3. metabolic transformation
40
Q

enzymes important in biotransformation of cathecholamines

A
  1. COMT (cathecol-0-methyl transferase)2. MAO (monoamine oxidase)
