Autonomic Nervous System 2 Flashcards
Which system exerts the predominant to in an effector organ?
For effector tissues with DUAL INNERVATION
Parasympathetic division is dominant, including: sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes of the heart, the pupils, gastrointestinal and genitourinary muscles and sphincters
Sympathetic division is dominant only in terms of vascular tone and thermo sweat glands
What system is the predominant tone in arterioles?
Sympathetic- receptor type a1
What system is the predominant tone in veins
Sympathetic - receptor type @1
What system is the predominant tone in the heart?
Parasympathetic receptor type -M2
What system is the predominant tone in iris?
Parasympathetic - receptor type M3
What system is the predominant tone in the ciliary muscle?
Parasympathetic M3
What system is the predominant tone in the GI tract?
Parasympathetic- M3
What system is the predominant tone in the urinary bladder?
Parasympathetic-M3
What system is the predominant tone in salivary glands?
Parasympathetic -M3
What system is the predominant tone in sweat glands?
Sympathet8c- M3
What. Are the two types of ANS drugs?
Cholinergic drugs
Adrenergic drugs
What are the types of adrenergic drugs?
Adrenergic agonists adrenergic antagonists
What are the types of cholinergic drugs?
Cholinergic agonists and cholinergic antagonists
Describe cholinergic drugs
Are medications that inhibit, enhance, or mimic the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine
Cholinergic agonists: enhance or mimic acetylcholine effects
Cholinergic antagonists: block the action of acetylcholine
Describe adrenergic drugs
Are drugs that mimic or interfere with the release or action of norepinephrine and epinephrine
Adrenergic agonists: medications that act on receptors stimulated by norepinephrine or epinephrine
Adrenergic antagonists: inhibit the norepinephrine or epinephrine effect at the adrenergic receptors
What are the direct cholinergic agonists?
Acetylcholine
Carbachol
Bethanechol
Pilocarpine
Metacholine
What are the types of indirect cholinergic agonists?
- those that lead to reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
- those that lead to irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
What are the indirect cholinergic agonists that lead to irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase?
Orangophosphate poisoning:
- Parathion
- Malathion
Nerve agents
What are the indirect cholinergic agonists that lead to reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase?
Donepezil
Galantamine
Rivastigmine
Edrophonium
Physostigmine
Neostigmine
Pyridostigmine
What does Carbachol do?
Direct cholinergic agonists-relieves intraocular pressure in open angle glaucoma
What does methacholine do?
Challenge test for diagnosis for Bronchial Asthma
What does Pilocarpine?
Direct cholinergic agonists
Relieves intraocular pressure in open and closed angle glaucoma
Potent stimulator of sweat, tears, and saliva (Sjogren syndrome)
