Deck 2 – Autonomic Nervous System drugs Flashcards
The nervous system can be divided into two major regions:
The Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems.
The central nervous system (CNS) is the:
Brain and Spinal Cord.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PMS) is the:
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS
SYSTEM and SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.
In Peripheral Nervous System, what is the AFFERENT?
AFFERENT – is a Sensory and it sends impulses to the CNS.
In Peripheral Nervous System, what is the EFFERENT?
EFFERENT – is a Motor and it receives impulses, transmits through the spinal cord to effector organ cells.
What neurotransmitter is used in the sympathetic nervous system?
Terminal Neurotransmitter: Norepinephrine
Medically, the flight-or-flight response is known as the:
Acute Stress Response.
What is Receptor organ cells of Norepinephrine?
Alpha and Beta.
What neurotransmitter is used in the Parasympathetic NS?
Terminal Neurotransmitter: Acetylcholine
What is Receptor organ cells of Acetylcholine?
Nicotinic and Muscarinic.
The drugs act through
receptors by binding to
the receptors to initiate a
response or prevent a
response.
Receptor Theory.
Agonist is?
Drugs that
produces a response.
Drugs that blocks a response.
• Effects are determined by
the inhibitory action of the
drug.
Antagonist.
What CATECHOLAMINES has?
It has Catechol ring and amines.
It has no catechol.
NONCATECHOLAMINES
