Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
What are the 2 parts of autonomic nervous system?
1. Sympathetic/Adrenergic
2. Parasympathetic/Cholinergic
A neuron that receives impulses, transmits through the spinal cord to effector organ cells.
Efferent
A neuron that sends impulses to the central nervous system (CNS)
Afferent
What is the terminal neurotransmitter of sympathetic nervous system?
Norepinephrine
What are the 4 receptor organ cells of sympathetic nervous system?
1. Alpha 1
2. Alpha 2
3. Beta 1
4. Beta 2
What is the terminal neurotransmitter of parasympathetic nervous system?
Acetylcholine
What are the 2 receptor organ cells of parasympathetic nervous system?
1. Nicotinic
2. Muscarinic
It inactivates acetylcholine before reaching organ cells.
Acetylcholinesterase
What ANS constricts bronchioles, increase secretions?
Parasympathetic Nervous System
What ANS increases heart rate?
Sympathetic Nervous System
drugs that blocks a response
Antagonist
drugs that produces a response
Agonist
What are the 4 ANS Drugs?
1. Adrenergic agonist
2. Adrenergic antagonist
3. Cholinergic agonist
4. Cholinergic antagonist
What are the 4 ANS Drugs?
1. Adrenergic agonist
2. Adrenergic antagonist
3. Cholinergic agonist
4. Cholinergic antagonist
