Autonomic Nervous System Drugs Flashcards
Its function is to monitor the internal and external
environment of the body. Process and integrate the environmental changes and determine the response. Respond by producing an action or
response
Autonomic Nervous System
It is ____ that is known for being the master controller. The brain and spinal cord belong to this nervous system.
Central Nervous System
It is ____ that relays information between your brain and the rest of your body.
Peripheral Nervous System
Afferent (sensory) _____ impulses and efferent (motor) _____ impulses.
sends and receives
It is a nervous system that is involuntary that controls and regulates the heart, GI, respiratory system, bladder, eyes, and glands
Autonomic Nervous System
It is a nervous system that voluntary innervates the skeletal muscles.
Somatic Nervous System
It is a chemical that is produced by your Central
Nervous System and Peripheral nervous system communicate with each other.
Two neuron chain
What are the steps in synaptic transmission?
Step 1: Synthesis of the transmitter
Step 2: Storage of neurotransmitters.
Step 3: Release of neurotransmitter
Step 4: Action at the receptor
Step 5: Termination of transmission
Sympathetic system controls ______ which is a physiological response to non-immediate. The same with fighting for survival.
Fight or flight response
Norepinephrine is the terminal neurotransmitter of the Sympathetic Nervous System that controls……
-Dilation of pupils
-Dilation of bronchioles
-Increases heart rate
-Constricts blood vessels
-Relaxes smooth muscles of the GI
-Relaxes uterine muscles
Acetylcholine is the terminal neurotransmitter of the Parasympathetic Nervous System that controls
-Constricts pupils
-Constricts bronchioles, increases secretions
-Decreases heart rate
-Dilates blood vessels
-Increases peristalsis
-Increases salivation
What is receptor theory?
It is drugs that act through receptors by binding to
the receptors to initiate a response or prevent a response.
Pharmacology effect means
specific changes in physiological function as a result of drug interaction with a particular receptor.
____ are drugs that produce a response while ____ are drugs that block a response.
Agonist and antagonist
What agonist stimulates the adrenergic receptors, mimics the effects, and is sympathomimetic?
Adrenergic agonist
What antagonist inhibits the sympathetic nervous system, is sympatholytic, and blocks alpha and beta receptor blockers.
Adrenergic antagonist
What agonist stimulate stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, mimics the parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and is Para-sympathomimetic?
Cholinergic agonist
What antagonist inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, and is Para-sympatholytic?
Cholinergic antagonist
What are the alpha receptors (agonists) and their therapeutic uses?
Alpha 1- Hypotension, nasal congestion,
dilation of pupils
Alpha 2- Hypertension
Beta 1- Heart failure, cardiac arrest, shock
Beta 2- Asthma, premature labor of
contraction
Explain the drug interactions
Sympathomimetics are effects andregernics
agonists and Sympa effects. Then Parasymphathomimics mimic parasymphato nervous effects and will produce para effects. While Sympatholytic is an adrenergic antagonist and produced para effects. Then parasympatholytics antagonize the effects of your para sympha and produced sympha.
