Q

D2

A

Gi

modulates transmitter rls, esp. in brain

17
Q

H1

A

Gq

inc: nasal and bronchial mucus production, vasc permeability, contraction of bronchioles, pruritus, pain

18
Q

H2

A

Gs

gastic acid secretion

19
Q

V1

A

Gq

inc vasc SM contraction

20
Q

V2

A

Gs

inc. H20 perm and reabsorp in collecting tubules of kidney

21
Q

Gq pathway

A

Gq –> Phospholipase C –> PIP2 –> DAG (Protein Kinase C) and IP2 (inc intracellular Ca2+ –> SM contraction)

22
Q

Gs pathway

A

Gs –> adenylyl cyclase –> cAMP –> Protein Kinase A (inc intracellular Ca in heart and inhibits myosin light chain kinase in SM)

23
Q

Gi pathway

A

Gi –X adenyl cyclase

24
Q

QutCies HAVe 1 M&M

A

Gq induces C thru H,A,V-1s, and M1 and M3

25
Q

inhibit MAD 2s

A

Gi induced by M, A, D-2s

26
Q

cholinergic axonic pathway

A

choline enters–> (choline acetyltransferase) Acetyl CoA + choline –> ACh in vesicle–> (Ca2+) ACh released

27
Q

hemicholinium

A

blocks choline from entering axon

28
Q

vesamicol

A

inhibits ACh entering vesicle

29
Q

Botulinum

A

preents ACh rls from axon

30
Q

AChE inhibitors

A

block dissociation from postsynaptic membrane/ ACh dissociation into Choline + Acetate

31
Q

noradrenergic negative feedback

A

release of norepi from sympathetic nerve ending is modulated by norepi itself, acting on presynaptic a2-autoreceptors

32
Q

Amphetamines at noradrenergic terminal

A

use NET to enter presynaptic terminal, where they utilize VMAT to enter neurosecretory vesicles, displacing NE from the vesicles.

Once NE reaches a concentration threshold w/in presynaptic terminal, the action of NET is reversed, and NE is expelled into the synaptic cleft —-> characterisitics and effects of inc NE in pts taking amphetamines

33
Q

Phenylalaline to epinephrine

A

Phenylalanine –> (Phenylalanine Hydroxylase + BH4) Tyrosine –> (Tyrosine Hydroxylase + BH4) L-DOPA –> (DOPA decarboxylase + Vit B6) Dopamine –> (Dopamine B-hydroxylase + Vit C) Norepinephrine –> Epinephrine

34
Q

Metyrosine

A

inhibits tyrosine conversion to DOPA

35
Q

Reserpine

A

prevents Dopamine conversion to NE

36
Q

bretylium, guanethidine

A

inhibits NE rls from synapse

37
Q

amphetamine, ephedrine

A

stimulates NE rls from synapse

38
Q

Cocaine, TCA, amphetamine

A

inhibits NE reuptake to presynaptic terminal

39
Q

Tyramine degradation

A

normally degraded by MAO; (found in wines/cheese)

HTN crisis in people taking MAOI
