CNS/Receptors Flashcards
_______ work on receptors to evoke a biological response, while ________ interferes with that response at the receptor site
Agonists
Antagonists
Natural Catecholamines: Agonists
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Dopamine
Synthetic Catechocholamines: Agonists
Isoproterenol
Dobutamine
example of an antagonist
beta adrenergic blocker
Post synaptic ONLY receptors
Alpha 1
Beta 1
Dopamanergic 1
Pre AND post synaptic receptors
Alpha 2
Beta 2
Dopamanergic 2
NOREPI > epi > isoproterenol
Alpha receptors
ISOPROTERINOL > epi > norepi
Beta receptors
activation causes VASOCONSTRICTION and RELAXATION of the GI tract
Postsynaptic Alpha 1 receptors
were are alpha 1 receptors found?
Postsynaptic
- Vasculature
- Heart
- Glands
- Gut
activation causes inhibition of NE release and inhibition of sympathetic outflow leading to decreased BP and HR and inhibition of CNS activity
Presynaptic
- Alpha 2 receptors
Found in: Peripheral vascular smooth muscle Coronaries Brain
Presynaptic
- Alpha 2 receptors
Found in: Coronaries CNS
Postsynaptic
- Alpha 2 receptors
Activation causes constriction, sedation and anesthesia
Postsynaptic
- Alpha 2 receptors
where are Postsynaptic Beta 1 receptors found
- Myocardium
- SA node
- ventricular conduction system
- coronaries
- kidneys
Activation causes coronary relaxation
Postsynaptic
- Beta 1
where are Beta 2 receptors found?
Found in SMOOTH MUSCLE
- Vascular
- bronchiolar
- uterine skin
- myocardium
- coronaries
- kidneys
- GI tract
uptake of potassium my the cells
Beta 2
receptors that interact exclusively with dopamine
dopaminergic receptors
Found on: Renal, mesenteric, splenic and coronary vessels and on renal tubules
Postsynaptic Dopamanergic 1 receptors
cause vasodilation
Postsynaptic
- Dopamanergic 1 receptors
activation causes inhibition of norepi release
Presynaptic
- Dopamanergic 2 receptors
may promote constriction
Postsynaptic
- Dopamanergic 2 receptors
3 areas with the highest concentration of Serotonin 5HT receptors
- wall of the intestine
- Blood
- CNS - this is where medications act
insulin release gluconeogenesis
Beta 2
vasodilation uterine relaxation bronchodilation
Beta 2
Activation causes renin release, increases inotropy, chronotropy, and myocardial conduction velocity
Postsynaptic Beta 1
Activation causes increased inotropy
Postsynaptic Beta 1
Activation causes increased chronotropy
Postsynaptic Beta 1
Activation causes increased myocardial conduction velocity
Postsynaptic Beta 1
