Q

What is the Main mechanism of termination of catecholamine signaling?

A

1) Reuptake into nerve terminals
Via: NET (NE) & DAT (DA)
After reuptake; the NTs are stored in vesicles via VMAT-2

Q

What is the 1) GPCR 2) Agonists 3) Tissue and Response for Alpha 2 Receptor?

A

1) Gi (Decreased AC, cAMP)
2) Epi > NE
3) Platelets: Aggregation / Vascular Smooth Muscle: Contraction

17
Q

What is the 1) GPCR 2) Agonists 3) Tissue and Response for Beta 1 Receptor?

A

1) Gs (Increased AC, cAMP, L-type Ca2+ Channel)
2) Epi = NE
3) Heart: Increased FOC & HR

18
Q

What is the 1) GPCR 2) Agonists 3) Tissue and Response for Beta 2 Receptor?

A

1) Gs (Increased AC)
2) NE > Epi
3) Smooth Muscle: Relaxation / Skeletal Muscle: Glycogenolysis

19
Q

What is the effect of Muscarinic Receptors on smooth muscle?

A

1) Contraction of SM

20
Q

What is the effect of ACH and Muscarinic Receptors given IV?

A

Vasodilation d/t release of NO

21
Q

What is the only innervation of Vascular smooth muscle?

A

Adrenergic receptors.

Vascular smooth muscle is not innervated by parasympathetic neurons

22
Q

What is the effect of activation of mACHRs on Endothelial cells?

A

1) Causes production of EDRF –> Produces NO
