Autonomic/Neuromuscular Junction Drugs Flashcards
Parasympathetic
Cholinergic Receptors (muscarinic)
-bronchoconstriction, mitosis, rest and digest
-SLUD: salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation
Sympathetic
Adrenergic Receptors (alpha and beta)
-bronchodilation, mydriasis, fight or flight
-decrease in secretions
