Autonomic Nervous System Drugs Flashcards
the master controller of most body’s activities
nervous system
responsible for preparing the body to respond to stress
sympathetic nervous system
drug that mimic the effect of the norepinephrine
adrenergic agonists
drug that block the effect of norepinephrine
adrenergic antagonist
acetylcholine is the major neurotransmitter
parasympathetic nervous system
drug that mimic acetylcholine, parasympathomimetics
cholinergic agonists
a biochemical reaction to human body produce by drug substance in therapeutic concentration.
Pharmacological effect
the receptors of SNS
alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3 and alpha 4
drugs that block acetylcholine, PARA-SYMPATHOLYTICS
cholinergic antagonists
used to treat bronchospasm, asthma; bronchitis
Albuterol
sympathetic effect in body system
Alpha 1 - receptor
selective alpha 2adrenergic drug and used to treat hypertension
Clonidine
used in treatment of CHF as it increases contractility without change in rate or increase in oxygen demand
Dobutamine
a receptors that help heart increase; cardiac tissue
Beta 1- receptor
sympathomimetics categories that directly affects to the receptor organs
Direct-acting sympathomimetics
sympathomimetics categories that directly affect and in-direct affect to the receptor organs
Mix-acting sympathomimetics
body receptor in bronchi, smooth muscles in the blood vessels, uterine muscles
Beta 2- receptor
category of adrenergic agonist that increase Norepinephrine in the body
Indirect acting sympathomimetics
a chemical structure of adrenergic agonists that gives during emergency due of catechol ring and amines from amino acid
Catecholamines
selective the drugs that affects all receptors of body organs
non-selective
