Q

How and where are epinephrine and norepinephrine made and when are they released?

A

Norepinepherine is made in the adrenal medula (adrenal gland behind the kidneys), synthesized from dopamine. It is released all the time. In times of stress, the norepi is synthesized into epinepherine. (dopamine becomes norepinepherine becomes epinepherine)

Q

Is epinepherine contiuously produced?

A

Epinepherine is only produced in times of stress. It is made from norepinephrine. Both epi and norepi production increases in FIGHT FLIGHT.

Q

Is norepinepherine coutinuously produced?

A

norepinepherine is always being produced from dopamine in the medula. It is the primary transmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. Production increases in FIGHT/FLIGH

Q

what does acetylcholine do to body?

A

Q

what do the cholamines (epi/norepi/dope) do to body?

A

bronchodilation, vasoconstriction, increased heart rate/force/conductivity slows digestion/urine (smooth muscle relaxer: lungs, bladder, GI), constricts pupils.

Q

Do epinepherine and norepinepherine do the same thing?

A

Day to day, norepinephrine controls vasoconstricion. During fight/flight when epi is released, they act similar but Norepi considered more vascular, Epi more cardiac, but both do it all

Q

What does norepinepherine do to the body (what receptors)

A

Day to day, norepinepherine works primarily on vasoconstriction, A1. Fight/Flight, norepi acts like, or assists epi: A1, B1, B2

34
Q

How does dopamine behave? (what receptors?)

A

high doses: squeeze veins and speeds heart..
A1 vasoconstrict, B1 increase heart rate (+chronotrope), force (+inotrope), electric velocity (+dromotrope).
Inhaled it bronchodilates also.
LOW DOSES on D1 and D2 receptors

35
Q

a drug that impacts heart rate is called-

A

chronotrope (chronological time) can be + or -

36
Q

a drug that alter force of contraction is called ? (heart)

A

inotrope
(“the force, I know” yoda) can be + or -

37
Q

drugs that alter conduction velocity in the heart are called?

A

dromotrope
(hit the DRUM to change conduction and AV speed(automoticity) can be + or -

38
Q

positive chronotrope will ___

A

increase heart rate

(chronological- time)

39
Q

positive inotrope will __

A

increase contraction force (the force, I know)

40
Q

positive dromotrope will ___

A

increase heart conduction speed (Conductor, hit the drum to change speed ) - impacts automaticity, impacts noded- how fast signals go throught the heart and from SA-AV-his bundle-bundle branches- perkinje fibers

41
Q

negative chronotrope will ___

A

slow heart rate

42
