AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM DRUGS Flashcards
Controls and regulates the heart, GI, respiratory system?
AUTONOMIC NS/ VISCERAL SYSTEM
receives impulses, transmits through the spinal cord to effector organ cells
Efferent
sends impulses to the CNS
Afferent
Drugs act through receptors by binding to the receptors to initiate a response or prevent a response?
Receptor theory
STIMULATE THE SNS SYMPATHOMIMETIC
Adrenergic agonist
When Autonomic drugs are given, the goal is not to treat an autonomic disorder, it is to correct disorders of target organs through autonomic nerves
Pharmacologic effect
STIMULATE THE PNS
PARA- SYMPATHOMIMETIC
Cholinergic agonist
Has a catechol ring and amines
Cathecolamines
What is selective and non selective ?
SELECTIVE - influences one type of receptor
NON- SELECTIVE – influences all receptors
What is pharmacologic class of epinephrine
Adrenergic
It is 5 receptors, stimulate smooth muscle and slows HR?
MUSCARINIC
Nn – transmission of cholinergic signals
Nicotinic
What is therapeutic of Acetylcholine
Non-specific cholinergic effect, decreases CO, HR, BP, increase GI activity
What is pharmacologic class of bethanecol
