Autonomics lecture 3 Flashcards
Why can peripheral resistance decrease when you give epinephrine slowly and a low amount?
-Beta 2
Why can peripheral resistance increase when you give epinephrine fast and a high amount?
-Alpha 1 receptors
What does the heart rate go up when you give epinphrine?
-Beta 1 receptors
If you give epinephrine slowly and a low amount how can your diastolic pressure go down?
-Because of the decrease in peripheral resistance
What receptors do you find for norepinephrine?
Alpha
Beta
What beta receptor does norepinephrine have a higher affinity for?
-Beta 1
What does norepinephrine do to the peripheral resistance?
-Increase peripheral resistance
If a person got norpinephrine can a person have a slower HR and why?
-Yes because the override beta 1 receptors
What receptors can Dopamine use?
- DA
- Beta
- Alpha
What dopamine receptors increase BP and TPR?
-Alpha 1
What dopamine receptors increase HR?
Beta 1
What dopamine receptors increase organ perfusion?
-D1
What are alpha 1 agonists?
- Phenylephrine
- Methoxamine
What are the effects of Alpha 1 agonists?
- Vasoconstriction and increased TPR
- Decreased HR (but can increase because of Baroreceptors)
- Constricts sphincter muscle of bladder
What are alpha 2 agonists?
- Clonidine
- Guanfacine
What are the effects of Alpha 2 agonists?
- Bradycardia in some
- Dry mouth
What does stimulation of CNS alpha 2 receptors decrease?
-Sympathetic output
What are alpha 2 agonists used for?
- Treatment of hypertension
- ADHD
What are alpha 1 agonists used for?
- ENT surgery
- Treat hypotension/shock
- Mydriasis (pupil dilation)
- Nasal decongestants
What are the uses for Beta agonists?
- Asthma
- COPD
- OBGYN use to relax smooth muscle of uterus during labor slowing contractions
- Bronchospasm
What are mixed agonists?
- Ephedrine
- Ephedra
- Pseudoephedrine
What do the mixed agonists release?
-Norepinephrine
What can amphetamine cause the release of?
-NE and DA
What are indirect adrenergic agents?
- Amphetamine
- Cocaine
- Methylphenidate
- NNRIs
- TCA
What does cocaine do for the indirect action?
-Blocks the uptake of excess NE, DA, and Serotonin
What does Methylphenidate do?
-Block reuptake of NE and DA
