Autonomic pharmacology Flashcards
Parasympathetic =
cholinergic
Sympathetic =
adrenergic
-is the predominance of one division over the other is called ??
state of tomus
Sympathetic tone maintains ??
systemic blood pressure
Parasympathetic tone maintains ??
gut motility
is the major neurotransmitter at the postganglionic fibers in the sympathetic division.
Norepinephrine
Postganglionic fibers are called ??
adrenergic fibers.
Norepinephrine is also called ???
noradrenaline.
is the transmitter released at the peripheral motor portions of the autonomic nervous system
Acetylcholine
2 cholinergic receptors:
- Muscarinic receptors
- Nicotinic effects
include effects of acetylcholine on the?
- glands
- smooth muscle
- cardiac muscle
in glands acetylcholine does?
increased secretions
in smooth muscle acetylcholine does?
enhance contraction
in cardiac muscle acetylcholine doees?
depressed activity
Nicotinic effects include the action of acetylcholine of the:
- parasympathetic
- sympathetic ganglia
- neuroeffector junctions
this increased skeletal muscle concentration
neuroeffector junctions
– a poisonous substance in certain species of mushrooms
muscarine
-a substance derived from tobacco.
nicotine
Cholinergic drugs are also called?
parasympathomimetics or cholinomimetics.
