ANS receptors/neurotransmitters Flashcards
cause increase in production of aqueous humor, increasing intraocular pressure
beta receptors
constrict blood vessels in the skin and skeletal muscle
a1 receptors
promote ejaculation
a1 receptors
alpha and beta receptors bind
norepinephrine
alpha 1 acts on
Gq
increased salivary and lacrimal gland secretions
M1 and M3 receptors
Gq pathway
activates phospholipase C, producing IP3 and DAG, which causes Ca++ increase and activation of protein kinases
nicotinic subtype found on postganglionic neurons and presynaptic terminals
Nn
relax the bronchioles
B2 receptors
contract the urinary sphincter
a1 receptors
D1 pathway
stimulates adenylyl cyclase
voluntary motor neurons are:
cholinergic
most post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons are
noradrenergic
nerves innervating the adrenal medulla are
cholinergic
post-ganglionic sympathetics to renal vasculature release
dopamine
promote erection
M3 receptors
most post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons release
norepinephrine
all pre-ganglionic receptors are
nicotinic
accommodation of the lens for near vision
M3 receptors
nicotinic subtype found at neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscle
Nm
voluntary motor neurons release
acetylcholine
decreases ocular pressure by unknown mechanism
alpha receptors
Relax sphincters allowing for defecation
M3 receptors
the adrenal cortex releases
epinephrine and norepinephrine
post-ganglionic sympathetic receptors on renal vasculature are
D1
nerves innervating the adrenal medulla release
acetylcholine
