Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic division (SNS) and Parasympathetic division (PNS)
Complete the steps in Synaptic Transmission if
1. Synthesis, 2. Storage, 3. Release, 4. Action receptors then what are the 5, 5a, 5b, and 5c?
- Termination
5a. Reaptic nerve termination
5b. Enzymatic degradation
5c. Diffusion away
It’s a neuron that sends impulses to the central nervous system (CNS). It also carries information from sensory receptors to the skin and other organs to CNS.
Afferent neuron
It’s a neuron that receives impulses and transmits them through the spinal cord to the effector organ cell. It carries motor information from CNS to the muscle and glands.
Efferent neurons
The autonomic nervous system that initiates FLIGHT OR FIGHT RESPONSE?
Sympathetic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system that initiates REST AND DIGEST?
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Terminal Neurotransmitter of Sympathetic Nervous System
Norepinephrine
What are the four receptor organ cells of the Sympathetic Nervous System?
Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1 and Beta 2
What are the receptor organ cells of the Parasympathetic Nervous System?
Nicotinic, and muscarinic
It is a drug that produces a response. For example: If the lock (receptor site) fit the key (drug), it is called?
Agonist
It is a drug that blocks a response.
Antagonist
Type of ANS that results in dilation of pupils and bronchioles, Increase heart rate, Constrict blood vessels, and Relaxes smooth muscles of the GI.
Sympathetic Nervous System
Type of ANS that results in constriction of pupils, and bronchioles, Decreases heart rate, Dilates blood vessels and Increases peristalsis and salivation.
Parasympathetic Nervous System
What is the Therapeutic use of Epinephrine
For Cardiac Arrest and asthma
What are Categories based on the Chemical Structure of Sympathomimetics/ adrenergic Agonists?
Catecholamine and Noncatecholamines
