Q

How do anticholinergic drugs work?

A
  • Competitive agonists

- Reversibly bind with muscarinic receptor and prevents ACh from binding

A
  • M1 = CNS and stomach
  • M2 = Lungs and Heart
  • M3 = CNS, airway, smooth muscle, glandular tissue
  • M4 = CNS
  • M5 = CNS

What do vasoactive drugs do?

A
  • Direct effect on heart and vasculature

- indirect effects of the nervous system

29
Q

How do vasoconstrictors increase smooth muscle contraction?

A
  • Alpha 1 receptor agonist through G proteins
