Autonomic Nervous System Drugs Flashcards
Controls and regulates the heart, gastrointestinal tracts, respiratory system, bladder, eyes, and glands
Autonomic Nervous System
Voluntary, and innervates the skeletal muscles
Somatic Nervous System
Step in synaptic transmission wherein release of neurotransmitter happens
Step 3
In the Sympathetic Nervous System, ganglions are closer to the
spinal cord
In the Parasympathetic Nervous System, ganglions are closer to the
effector organs
Receptor organs cells of Sympathetic NS
alpha1, alpha 2, beta1, beta2
Receptor organ cells of Parasympathetic NS
nicotinic, muscarinic
Step in synaptic transmission wherein storage of neurotransmitter inside the vesicles happens
Step 2
Step in synaptic transmission wherein synthesis of the transmitter happen
Step 1
Terminal neurotransmitters of Parasympathetic NS
Acetylcholine
Functions of Sympathetic Nervous System
dilates pupils, dilates bronchioles, increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels, relaxes smooth muscles of the GI, relaxes urine muscles
The master controller, monitors the internal and external environment in the body
Nervous system
Functions of Parasympathetic Nervous System
constricts pupils, constricts bronchioles, increase secretions, decrease heart rate, dilates blood vessels, increases peristalsis, increases salvation
Terminal neurotransmitters of Sympathetic NS
Norepinephrine
Anaphylaxis, asthma, cardiac stimulation, indication and maintenance of mydriasis during intraocular surgery, and dilation are indications of
Epinephrine
