B-antagonist lecture Flashcards
activation of what increases body’s readiness for strenuous activity & stress? (“fight or flight)
sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
effects of SNS activation
> : arterial pressure, HR, cardiac output, blood flow to muscles & heart, RR, oxygen consumption, blood glucose, glycolosis, mental activity
<: blood flow to GIT & kidneys
main effectors of SNS
norepinephrine & epinephrine
Norepinephrine (NE)
synthesized in sympathic nerve terminals & CNS as a neurotransmitter
epinephrine (Epi)
synthesized in adrenal medula (Chomaffin cells) as a hormone & in CNS (adrenergic neurons) as a neurotransmitter
synthesis of NE & epi starts with
Tyrosine
Tyr-> DOPA->domapine->NE->epi
what happens to the release of NE when beta 2 is stimulated?
increase release of NE
what happens to the release of NE when alpha 2 is stimulated?
stop release of NE
where are alpha 1 receptors found?
post synaptic
blood vessels, skin, pulmonary, kidney
where are alpha 2 receptors found?
presynaptic
where are Beta1 receptors found?
myocardium, JG cells in kidneys
where are beta2 receptors found?
smooth muscles (can be pre & post-synaptic) SMC of arteruikes, bronchial SMC, skeletal muscle, liver, ciliary muscle of eye
where are beta 3 receptors found?
adipose tissue -> lypolysis
what kind of receptors are adrenoceptors(Alpha & Beta)?
GPCRs
what is alpha 1 coupled to?
Gq-> >inositol triphosphate, DAG & Ca
