Drugs acting at the ANS - Cholinergic Receptors Flashcards
Drugs acting on cholinergic synapses can act on.
Ganglia,
Muscarinic receptors,
Neuromuscular junction,
Enhance cholinergic transmission.
Which is longer presynaptically?
Parasympathetic nerve.
Action of nicotine.
Dependant on dose.
Low dose nicotine.
Stimulation of sensory receptors.
High dose.
Depolarisation blockade.
Sympathomimetic effects of nicotine.
CVS effects, BP, heart rate and blood pressure.
Parasympathomimetic effects of Nicotine.
GIT movement, HCl in stomach.
Central effects of nicotine.
Nausea, arousal, high.
Where can you find nicotinic neural receptors?
Ganglia, adrenal medulla, sensory nerve endings.
Agonists of nicotinic neural.
Ach and nicotine.
Antagonists of nicotinic neural.
Hexamethonian, trimethaphan.
Nicotinic muscle receptor agoinsts.
Suxamethonium, decamethonium.
Nicotinic muscle receptor antagonists?
Tubocurarine, atracurium, mivacurium, vecuronium. (Transmission block). MUSCLE relaxants!
Miscarinic agonists can be described as being…
Parasympathomimetics.
Type of muscarinic agonists at the heart.
M2.
Pilocarpine.
A partial Muscarinic agonist, used to treat Glaucoma. Contract iris smooth muscle. Weak effects in GIT and heart.
Bethanocol.
Bladder and bowel stimulation.
Agonist at Muscarinic receptors for smooth muscle.
Cause GIT and bronchoconstriction.
