Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
metipranolol
nonspecific beta blockers
alpha 2 adrenoceptor
act on presynaptic nerve terminals in CNS
physostigme
indirect acting cholinergic agonist- short duration
rocuronium
nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker- antinicotinic agents
tropicamide
short term antimuscarinic agent pupil dilation
dobutamine
activate beta 1 receptor
timolol
nonspecific beta blockers
malathion
insecticide, infect nervous system irreversible achE inhibitor non-medical indirect acting cholinergic agonists
norepinephrine
activate beta 1 receptor
bethanechol
muscarinic agonist
botulinum toxin type A
inhibitor of ACH release muscle paralytic agent cosmetically used for treating muscle spasms- as in cerebral palsy -tics -strabismus -nystagmus
metaproterenol
activate beta 2 receptor bronchodilation
homatropine
short term antimuscarinic agent pupil dilation
succinylcholine
depolarizing neuromuscular blocker- antinicotinic agent binds to nicotinic receptor- depolarize but doesn’t leave receptor- blocks it
alpha methyl norepinephrine
adrenergic agonists activate alpha 2 receptors decrease sympathetic outflow from CNS- used to treat hypertension other analogs used in glaucoma for intraoccular pressure
carbachol
muscarinic and nicotinic agonist
tacrine
indirect acting cholinergic agonist- used to treat alzheimers
cyclopentolate
short term antimuscarinic agent pupil dilation
neostigme
indirect acting cholinergic agonist- short duration
ectothiophate
long acting indirect acting cholinergic agonist- phosphate acetylcholinesterase directly irreversible
ipratropium
antimuscarinic agent used for asthma
phenylephrine
adrenergic agonist activate alpha 1 receptors decrease congestion intranasally, constrict blood vessels
naphazoline
adrenergic agonist activate alpha 1 receptors decrease congestion intranasally, constrict blood vessels
amphetamine and methamphetamine
indirect acting amines induce release of norepinephrine from nerve terminals
