Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
What drug is used for emergencies?
Atropine
What medications trigger a response?
Agonist drug
It controls involuntary physiological functions like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, and sexual desire as a part of the peripheral nervous system. There are three physically separate divisions in it: enteric, parasympathetic, and sympathetic.
Autonomic nervous system
It has amines as well as a catechol ring. It controls the body’s reaction to flight or fight. Catecholamines are also regarded as hormones that act as neurotransmitters.
Catecholamines
They have the capacity to mimic the parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine in drugs that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Cholinergic Agonist
What is Anti-Nicotinic?
These receptors undergo a conformational change when linked to acetylcholine, allowing sodium ions to enter and depolarizing the effector cell.
What is Somatic NS?
It is the one that innervates the skeletal muscles and is voluntary.
What governs and controls the heart, GI, respiratory system, glands, bladder, and eyes and is involuntary?
Autonomic NS/ Visceral System
What lacks a nucleus or catechol ring. It is an adrenergic medication utilized for alpha and beta receptors that are activated.
Non catecholamines
What does “A” stand for in ABCDS?
Agitation
It is used to treat specific bladder and urinary tract conditions.
Bethanecol
What does “U” stand for in DUMBBELS?
Urination
What is Alpha 2?
Vasoconstriction decreases as a result. This causes bradycardia as well as a drop in blood pressure (hypotension).
Located on the smooth muscle and vascular system (bronchioles). When triggered, it can lead to the release of insulin, bronchodilation, vasodilation, lowered blood pressure, decreased peripheral resistance, and decreased diastolic pressure.
Beta 2
What does “D” stand for in ABCDS?
Dry Mouth
