A

Amphetamine—>promote releasing of NE

TCA/cocaine—>prevent reuptake of NE

40
Q

What do AMPT/clonidine/alpha methyldopa/reserpine/guanethidine do?

A

They all decrease NE release
AMPT—>tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor
Clonidine/alpha methyldopa—>alpha 2 agonist
Reserpine—>destroy storage vesicle
Guanethidine—>replace NE in the vesicle (release wrong things)

41
Q

Where do alpha 1 receptor found in your body?

A

Radial muscle of the eye/blood vessels/bladder (stimulate—>contract—>urinary retention)/kidney (decrease renin release)

42
Q

Where do alpha 2 receptor found in your body and what happens if you stimulate them?

A

Presynaptic nerve terminal/platelets (aggregation)/pancreas (decrease insulin secretion)

43
Q

Stimulate what receptor cause increase renin release?

A

Beta 1

44
Q

What are the effect of increase cAMP on skeletal and smooth muscle?

A

Skeletal muscle—>contract

Smooth muscle—>relax

45
Q

What is special about beta 2 receptors and where are they found?

A 
They are mostly not innervated (thus activated by epi)
Blood vessel (vasodilate)/uterus (relax)/branchioles (dilation)/skeletal muscle (contract)
46
Q

What would happen to skeletal muscle if you take too much beta 2 agonist for asthma?

A

Muscle tremor (skeletal muscle has beta 2)

47
Q

What are the metabolic affects of beta 2 receptor?

A

If stimulated—>increase glycogenolysis—>increase blood glucose
increase insulin secretion

Q

Why is reflex tachycardia worse with nonselective alpha blocker?

A

Blocking alpha 2 as well—>block an inhibitor—>increase NE activity—>worsen reflex tachycardia

68
Q

How to distinguish beta 1 or non selective beta blockers?

A

start with A-M—>beta 1 blocker only

N-Z—>non selective
