Asthma Flashcards
Asthma
list all SABA
salbutamol + terbutaline
what does SABA stands for
short-acting beta agonist
what type of beta receptor does the SABA and LABA target
beta-2
what kind of intercelluar recetions it triggers
increase the conversion of ATP to cAMP
upregulate the PKA level—pull the ca2+ back to the SR
overall-bronchodilation
all long beta receptor end with
terol
can low dose budesonide and formoterol act as reliver Y/N
Y
adverse effect of SABA
tremor
why overuse of SAMA
down regulate the num of the receptor
why for some ppl overuse SABA does not lead to severe consequence
polymorphism
can LABA be used by its own ? Y/N
N
describe the symbiotic effect of LABA and ICS
ICS could upregulate the effet
list SAMA
ipratropium
describe how M2 is different from M3
M3 only presents in the post synaptic area while M2 receptor presents in both pre and post synaptic areas and has opposite effect
describe how muscarinic receptor causes bronchoconstriction
PKC—stimulate the release of Ca2+ from the SR—increase the intracelluar Ca2+ level
