Autonomic Nervous System Drugs Flashcards
What parts of the body is divided in Central Nervous System?
Brain and Spinal Cord
This type of nerve is responsible for bringing sensory information from the outside world into the brain.
Afferent
This type of nerve is responsible for carrying signals from the brain to the peripheral nervous system in order to initiate an action.
Efferent
It controls the heart, GI, respiratory system, bladders and etc. Also known as involuntary.
Autonomic Nervous System
Also known as voluntary sensory neurons.
Somatic Nervous System
The biological mechanism via which a neuron interacts with a target cell across a synapse.
Sympathetic Transmission
A physical response that occurs automatically in response to major or distressing situation.
Fight or flight response
Two types of cell with receptors under the sympathetic nervous system
Alpha and Beta
The terminal neurotransmitter in parasympathetic nervous system
Acetylcholine
A substance known as ___ , stimulates particular brain receptors.
Agonist
A substance known as an _____, binds to opioid receptors without activating them, blocking the effects of opioids.
Antagonist
The goal is to correct the disorder of the target organs through autonomic nervous system.
Pharmacological Effect
Type of drugs that simulate how the sympathetic nervous system functions
Adrenergic Agonists
Drugs that reduces blood pressure.
Adrenergic Blockers
Type of receptor that recognizes neurotransmitter acetylcholine, receptors activate and repress a variety of signaling pathways, resulting in electrical transients and altered cell activity.
Muscarinic Receptors
