beta blockers 2 Flashcards
preganglionic fibers are
myelinated, rapid
post ganglionic
un-myelinated, slower
sns arise from
thoracolumbar outflow
adrenal medulla releases
epinephrine
pns arise from
craniosacral outflow
2 types pns receptors
nicotinic, muscarinic
what breaks down acetylcholine
acetylcholinesterase to choline and acetic acid
norepinephrine is broken down by what in the nerve synapse
MAO or sequestered in storage vesicles for release
norepi that diffuses away from synapse is inactivated by
COMT
beta 1 effects with agoinism
increased HR increased conduction increased contractility increased renin releast (ALL EFFECTS ON HEART)
beta 2 effects with agonism
skeletal muscle relaxation bronchodilation gluconeogenesis glycogenolysis vasodilation (some)
alpha1 actions with agonsm
works on arterial blood vessels
increases constriction
increases BP
can cause reflex bradycardia secondary to baroreceptor mediated reflex
alpha2 actions with agonism
negative feedback, when receptor is activated there is a decrease in norepi release, when blocked NE release increases
s/e alpha block
orththostatic hypertension, baroreceptor med. tachycardia
which alpha blocker causes covalent binding
phenoxybenzamine
which alpha blockers are reversible
prazosin, yohimbe, phentolamine
phenolamine
nonselective alpha blocker. tx htn emergency, hyperreflexia, pheochromo, reversible binding
effects of phentolamine
decreased bp due to vasodilation (peripheral), hr increased, co increased
phenoxybenzamine
nonselective alpha blocker
uses phenoxybenzamine
excesive vasoconstriction secondary to shock but only after volume rescucitation
effects phenoxybenzamine
vasodilation, decreased bp
what cannot happen with phenoxybenzamine
compensatory vasoconstriction, get large drops in bp
