Autonomic Nervous system Flashcards
M1 receptor location
Sweat glands and the CNS
M1 receptor mechanism
Gq
Gq effects
activate PLC to produce IP3 and DAG. Increases calcium and activates protein kinases.
M2 receptor location
Heart, presynaptically.
M2 receptor mechanism
Gi
Gi effects
inhibits adenylyl cyclase, opens potassium channels and hyperpolarizes the cell.
M3 receptor locations
Ciliary muscle, iris circular muscle, endothelium, bronchioles, bladder, sphincters, GI.
M3 receptor mechanism
