Autonomic Pharm Flashcards
NEpi has activity on the heart, if stimulated the clinical effect is?
Increased HR
What is NE effect on blood vessels?
Constriction leading to higher BP
Sympathetic N.S. describe
Fight or flight. Involved with exercise, activation, arousal
Parasympathetic describe
Rest and digest, recovery.
2 systems of ANS
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
NT has to be synthesized where?
In the cell
Name the 3 main 2nd messenger systems
- Phospholipase C
- Adenylyl Cyclase
- Guanylyl Cyclase
What do 2nd messenger systems do?
They get signal across so stimulation can occur. They are triggered when NT hits receptor, they are bystanders. They do the grunt work. They do all the work and help signal transmission
Are 2nd messengers intra or extracellular?
Intracellular
Which is not a 2nd messenger system?
- Guanylyl cyclase
- Phenyl A esterase
- Adenylyl cyclase
- Phospholipase C
Phenyl A esterase (made up)
This drug is given in emergency and is an anti chollenergic. It works specifically on M2 (muscarinic 2) So when it is given it blocks M2 to decrease HR.
Atropine
Drugs that bind directly to muscarinic receptor are called?
Agonists
______ bind to the muscarinic or nicotinic receptors resulting in activation
Direct binding agents
______inhibit AChE(E is for estherase), therefore resulting in an increase of Ach in the synaptic cleft
Indirect acting agents
_____is an enzyme designed to break down Ach so if you prevent breakdown you _____ amount cause there is no where to go
Ach, Increase
If more Ach at receptor it should cause _______ but if you prevent it from being broken down that should cause more _______ too b/c it should be broken down and recycled and whole process started over again
More activation, more activation
m1-m5 all activated by what?
Ach
Drug that is specific for N(m) for example _____ Ach and ____ muscle movement
blocks, prevents
Which muscarinic receptor is directly innervated with the myocardium?
M2
What are the 5 steps in synaptic transmission? (test)
- Transmitter synthesis
- Transmitter storage
- Transmitter release
- Receptor binding
- Termination of transmission
NT dissociates from receptor and is removed from synaptic gap by: (3 ways)
- Reuptake (recycled)
- Enzymatic degradation (got digested by another enzyme system)
- Diffusion (goes from high concentration to low)
If depleted NT being made (synthesized) then impact on receptor is ________
decreased
What happens if binding to receptor is blocked? (test)
Shouldn’t be activated as much if blocked, so decreased
Inhibiting neurotransmitter release from presynaptic nerve terminal will ____ receptor activation (test)
Block or decrease. (simple concept, if you have more, you have more activation. if you have less, then you have less activation)
Increased synthesis of neurotransmitters will ______ receptor activation
increase
Inhibiting neurotransmitter breakdown will ______ receptor activation
increase (example: if sitting there at end of receptor but prevent it from being broken down and starting process over it should increase the activation which makes sense cause can’t reset whole cycle and start over if its still sitting there).
_____ mediates responses at cholinergic receptors
Acetylcholine (Ach) “CH”
_____ mediates responses at adrenergic receptors
Norepinephrine (NE) “NE” or Epinephrine (similar to NE)
_____ mediates responses at dopaminergic receptors
Dopamine (DA)
Adrenergic receptors have 5 subtypes, what are they?
Alpha(1) Alpha (2) Beta (1) Beta (2) Dopamine (DA)
If Ach is blocked you will have a ____ activity on these receptors ______
decreased, nicotinic n, nicotinic m and muscarinic
Receptor is specific to the ______ they are one in the same
neurotransmitter
Epinephrine is released and activates b1 receptor, beta 1 receptor is on the heart, what is the clinical outcome? (test)
Increased stimulation, heart rate increases
X vagus nerve acts on what?
Heart, GI tract
Ach is produced in neuron from ______
Acetyl-CoA
Acetyl-CoA synthesis occurs in the _____
Mitochondria
Ach storage and release phenomena can occur at a ______
very fast speed. Storage and release are mili seconds. Enzyme system is quick at digesting and starting process over again.
When Ach is activated on vagus nerve is can ______ HR
decrease. direct stimulation=decrease heart rate
Fancy term means vesicles got to end of neuron and opened up
Exocytosis
What is eliminated by enzymatic hydrolysis via AchE?
Ach, its the main way it’s degraded
