ANS Pharmacology Flashcards
What is the location of Action for Dopamine?
Dopamine: Acts on the CNS and Renal Vascular Smooth Muscle
What is the action of Histamine on mACHRs?
It blocks the ability of sweat glands to function
What is the location of action regarding a M1 receptor?
CNS, Ganglia
What is the location of action regarding M2 receptor?
Heart, Nerves, Smooth Muscle
What is the location of action regarding M3 Receptor?
Glands, Smooth Muscle, and Endothelium
GSE! The G3!
What is the location of action regarding M4 Receptor?
CNS
What is the location of action regarding M5 Receptor?
CNS
What is different about the use of Epinephrine as a NT?
It is only synthesized in vesicles located in/near the Adrenal Medulla
What is the major NT for Sympathetic Nervous System?
Noriepinephrine
What is the transporter that transports Tyrosine into the nerve terminal?
Na+-Dependent Tyrosine Transporter
What is the transporter that transports NE, Epi, DA (Dopamine), and Serotonin into the vesicles?
Vesicular Monoamine Transporter (VMAT-2)
What is the transporter that transports NE into the nerve terminal?
NE Transporter (NET)
What is the Main mechanism of termination of catecholamine signaling?
1) Reuptake into nerve terminals
Via: NET (NE) & DAT (DA)
After reuptake; the NTs are stored in vesicles via VMAT-2
What are the two main enzymes involved in the breakdown of NTs?
MOA (monoamine oxidase) & COMT (Catechol-O-methyltransferase)
What is the 1) GPCR 2) Agonists 3) Tissue and Response for Alpha 1 Receptor?
1) Gq (PLC, IP3, DAG, Ca2+)
2) Epi > NE
3) Vascular SM: Contraction / Heart: Increased contractile force
