Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
sends impulses to the CNS
Afferent
receives impulses, transmits through the spinal cord to effector organ cells
Efferent
drugs that produces a response
Agonist
drugs that blocks a response
Antagonist
Has a catechol ring and amines
Catecholamines
has no catechol ring
Noncatecholamines
Blocks alpha and beta receptor blockers
Andrenergic blockers
Nervous system that consist of the brain and the spinal cord.
Central nervous system
Nervous system that consist of afferent/sensory and efferent/motor.
Peripheral nervous system
This is an efferent that are voluntary and Innervates the skeletal muscles
Somatic nervous system
This is an efferent that are Involuntary, Controls and regulates the heart, GI, respiratory system, bladder, eyes and glands
Autonomic nervous system
Responsible for dilation of pupils, dilation of bronchioles, and for increasing of heart rate.
Sympathetic nervous system
Responsible for constricting of pupils, constricting of bronchioles, and for decreasing of heart rate.
Parasympathetic nervous system
This theory is similar to the fit of the
right key in a lock.
Receptor theory
Drugs act through __________ by binding to the receptors to initiate a
response or prevent a response.
Receptors
