Autonomic Pharmacology Flashcards
What type of movement is incolved in the Somatic Nervous system?
voluntary movement
-motor cortex(UMN)–>Spinal cord (LMN) ant. horn
What is the neurotransmitter in SMS and receptor?
ACH, Nicotinic Ach R
What are the two Acetylcholin Receptors?
- Nicotinic
- Muscarinic
What are the Nicotinic agonist? Type of R? Found?
- ach, nicotine
- Ligand-gated ion channel
- found in:
CNS, Neuromuscular jxn,
autonomic ganglia & Adrenal Medulla
What is the presynaptic nt releases? To what receptor?
- Ach
- Nicotinic
What are the muscarinic R agonist? type of R? Found in?
- ach, muscarin
- GPCR
- CNS, Autonomic effector organs (esp. PNS)
postsynaptic neurons of the PNS releases ACH onto what R? Target?
- Muscarinic
- Effector organs & sweat glands
What are the adregergic receptor subtypes? what type of R?
GPCRs
Alpha (1,2) * Beta (1,2)
What are the endogenous adrenergic R Agonist?
- Epinephrine
- Norepinephrin
Epinephrine is the agonist at what receptor sub-types?
alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2
What are the receptor sub-types for NE?
alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, **NOT **beta-2
What is the target of dopamine?
D receptors in smooth muscle of renal and splanchnic vasculature–>vasodilation
- part of the SNS
- synthesized by adenergic nerves, pleased from postsynpatic neuron
The postsynaptic neuron in the SNS released NE which binds to what receptors?
alpha and beta adregergic receptors.
What is the adrenal medulla like? What nt does it release?
like sympathethic ganglion, releases Epi & NorEpi
What does Hemicholinum target?
inhibits choline uptake
How is acetylcholine made?
- choline uptake
- choline acetylated by ChAT
- uptake into vesicles
- Ca++ influx causes vesicle to fuses with presynaptic membrane
- Signal terminated by AchE hydrolysis
What does vesamicol target?
inhibits uptake of Ach into vesicles
What does botulinum toxin target?
blocks vesicle fusion w/ presynaptice membrane
