Cholinergics Flashcards
Cholinoreceptors
-nicotinic (NM, NN)
-muscarinic (M1, M2, M3)
Nm receptor
-skeletal muscle
NN receptor (neural)
-postganglionic
-adrenal medulla
Nicotinic receptor responses
-depolarization
-ligand opening of Na/K
Muscarinic receptor responses
QIQ
M1 receptor
-postganglionic
-depolarization
-GQ mech
M2 receptor
-heart
-inhibition
-G1 activation
M3 receptor
-smooth muscles (contract)
-exocrine glands (secrete)
-endothelium (relax)
-Gq activation
acetylcholine has higher affinity for which receptor
muscarinic
acetylcholine biosynthesis and neurotransmission
- choline transported to presynaptic nevere terminal by CHT
- Ach synthesize from choline and acetyl-CoA by ChAT
- ACh transported to storage vesicle by VAT
- action potential opens gated channels and increases calcium, fusion of vesicles with the surface membrane results in the release of ACh
-ACh binds to cholinoreceptors on post synaptic cell - ACh action terminated by metabolism by AChE
- auto receptors and receptors on presynaptic nerve end transmitter release
sodium-dependent choline transporter (CHT)
-transport choline to presynaptic nerve terminal
-inhibited by hemicholinium
choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)
-forms ACh from choline and acetyl coA
vesicle-associated transporter (VAT)
-carries ACh to storage vesicle
-inhibited by vesamicol
botulinum toxin
-botox
-block release of ACh
acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
-metabolizes ACh
Cholinergic agents
-acetylcholine
-parasympathetic
