Q

How is acetylcholine made?

A
  1. choline uptake
  2. choline acetylated by ChAT
  3. uptake into vesicles

Q

How is Epinephrine made?

A
  1. tyrosine uptake
  2. tyr–>DOPA
  3. . DOPA–>Dopamine
  4. DA uptake into vesicles
  5. DA–> NE
  6. Ca2+ influx causes vesicles to fuse and release NE
  7. Signal terminated by NE diffusion, metabolism, & reuptake
20
Q

What is the target of meyrosine?

A

inhibits Try–DOPA

21
Q

What does reserpine target?

A

Dopamine uptake into vesicles

22
Q

What is the target of guanethidine?

A

prevents fusion of vesicles.

23
Q

How does amphetamine affect NE?

A

impairs reuptake

24
Q

How does Cocaine affect NE?

A

Impairs reuptake

25
Q

What is the mechanism of Tricyclic Antidepressants?

A

Impairs reuptake

26
Q

How does the cholinergic signal terminate

A

Ach Hydrolysis

27
Q

How does the adrenergic signal terminate?

A
  1. reuptake into presynaptic terminal
  2. diffusion
  3. metabolism (MOA, COMT)
28
Q

What is Pheocromocytoma?

A

adrenal medullary tumor:

-too much NE, EPI produced

29
Q

What is the clinical symptoms of Pheochromocytoma?

A
  1. HTN, Tachy, diaphoresis (sweating)
  2. headache, chest pain, abdominal pain,
  3. skin flushing (and/or pallor)
30
Q

How is pheochromocytoma diagnosed?

A

diagnosis confirmed by 24hr urine test

-increased metanephrines, HMA, & VMA

31
Q

Sympathetic

A

“fight or flight”

thoracolumbar

need to run away from tiger at night

need to see, need oxygen/glucose at cells; no time to pee/poo or have baby

32
Q

Parasympathetics

A

“rest and digest”

craniosacral (CN 2,7,9, 10, Sacra N S2-S4)

reading a book while sitting on the toilet in the sun

33
Q

Differences btw SNS and PNS

A
34
Q

Alpha 1 actions? what type of g protein class

A

** Vascular SM contraction (raises BP)

35
Q

Alpha 2 actions. Gprotein type?

A
36
Q

Beta 1 actions. Receptor type? Does Epi/NE act here?

A

**increases HR and contractility

-increase renin release and lipolysis

Gs

37
Q

Beta 2 actions. Receptor type? Does Epi/NE act here?

A

ONLY Epi acts on the R.

**relaxes SM bronchodilation

38
Q

What does the alpha-2 presynaptic autoR do?

A

negative FB, thus make less NE

39
Q

What do the alpha-2 presynaptic heteroR do?

A
  1. angiotensin- enhances NE release
  2. muscarinic- decreases NE release
40
Q

Summary of G-protein linked 2nd messengers

A
41
Q

Autonomic and hormal control of cardio fxn

A
42
Q

A

dilate pupil

43
Q

What is the effect of beta adrenergic on the eye?

A

produces aqueous humor

44
Q

What is the effect of muscarinic on the eye?

A

contricts pupil and accomodates near vision
