Autonomic and HTN Flashcards
where are alpha-1 receptors?
vascular smooth muscle
where are alpha-2 receptors?
presynaptic junction
where are beta-1 receptors?
heart, kidneys
where are beta-2 receptors?
Lungs, skeletal muscle blood vessels
where are beta-3 receptors
adipose tissue
stimulation of alpha-1 receptors results in what response?
vasoconstriction/vasodilation
stimulation of alpha-2 receptors results in what responses?
influence of NE release
stimulation of beta-1 receptors results in what responses?
HR, contractility, renin secretion
stimulation of beta-2 receptors results in what respones?
vasoconstriction/vasodilation, bronchoconstriction/bronchodilation
stimulation of beta-3 results in what?
impacts lipolysis
a positive iontropic effect does what?
increase stroke volume
a positive chronotropic effect does what?
increase heart rate
what are the general effects of catecholamines?
sympathommetic - they mimic the SNS
vascular effects of cataecholamines
EPI: peripheral vascular resistance (low = reduced; high = increased)
NE: elevates BP
CNS effects of catecholamines
anxiety, tremors, headache
non-vascular smooth muscle effects of catecholamines
relax smooth muscles of GI tract, urinary retention, bronchodilation
