Autonomic Pharmacology DSA Flashcards
acetylcholine
NT of PS
NT for all preganglionic autonomics?
ACh to nicotonic receptors
postganglionic PS NT?
ACh on muscarinic
sympathetics to sweat gland NT
ACh to muscarinic
NT to somatic skeletal muscle?
ACh - to nicotinic
sympathetic NT to renal vascular smooth muscle
dopamine to D1 receptors
sympathetic to cardiac and smoth muscle, gland cells, and nerve terminals NT?
NE to alpha and beta receptors
norepinephrine
NT of sympathetics
catecholamine
epinephrine
synthesis in adrenal medulla
catecholamine
at adrenal medulla?
ACh binds nicotinic
-triggers release of 80% E, 20% NE
dopamine
precursor to NE and E
-synthesized in cytoplasm
acts on renal vascular smooth m**
synthesis of ACh
choline into neuron - depends on Na cotransport
ChAT - choline acetyltransferase
- combining acetyl CoA with choline
- to synaptic vesicle
release of ACh
AP triggers Ca influx
-Ca induces SNARE protein fusion with membrane - VAMP and SNAP
activation of nAChR
enhances ACh release
activation of mAChR
inhibits ACh release
acetylcholinesterase
breakdown of ACh - in synaptic cleft
-acetate and choline
nAChR location
all ganglia - PS and S
adrenal medulla - S
mAChR location
smooth and cardiac muscle
gland cells
nerve terminals
nAChR
ligand gated
-allow passage of Na
+ nicotine and ACh
mAChR
GPCRs
five subtypes
-
M2 and M3
mAChR subtype in smooth muscle
M2
mAChR subtype in cardiac muscle
catecholamines
NE, E, dopamine
major hormone of adrenal medulla
E
synthesis of catecholamines
tyrosine > dopa > dopamine > NE > E
VMAT-2
transports dopamine, NE, E, and serotonin across vesicle membrane
reserpine
inhibits VMAT-2
-leads to depletion of catecholamines from sympathetic nerve endings
responses to catecholamines
contraction glycogenolysis gluconeogenesis relaxation increased force and reate of cardiac muscle
termination of catecholamine signaling
- NET and DAT reuptake
- dilution
- metabolism - MAO and COMT
MAO
outer surface of mitochondria
COMT
cytoplasmic
-associated in liver
cotransmitters
in same vesicle
inhibit release of sympathetic NT?
M2 and M4 serotonin PGE2 histamine enkephaline DA alpha-2 receptors
enhance release of sympathetic NT?
beta-2 receptors
angiotensin II
nAChR
alpha 1 receptor activation
muscle contraction
- smooth muscle of vascular
- cardiac muscle
