Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
This system is in charge of an individual’s entire body’s vital functions, and it can also contribute to maintaining equilibrium in the body system.
Nervous System
The steps of synaptic transmission.
Step 1: Synthesis of neurons in which it creates neurotransmitters.
Step 2: Neurotransmitter storage
Step 3: Neurotransmitter release
Step 4: It promotes receptor-mediated actions.
Step 5: The termination phase of transmission
Step 5a: Reabsorbing back or also known as reoptake.
Step 5b: Enzymatic degration.
Step 5c: Diffusing away from the gap.
One of its effects is to relax the smooth muscles of the GI.
Sympathetic (Adrenergic)
One of its effects is to increase the peristalsis.
Parasympathetic (Cholinergic)
The one under efferent who is responsible for the voluntary movement of our whole body.

Cholinergic Crisis.
A technique is used to differentiate between cholinergic crisis and myasthenic crisis.
Tensilon Test
