Q

Steroid MOA

A

1- bind receptor
2- activates complex
3- localized to nucleus

Q

OA

A

intrinsic defect in the joint cartilage, not immune response

29
Q

Gout

A

caused by deposits of urate in the joints and cartilage

30
Q

Opiods

A

agents that alleviate pain INDEPENDENTLY of anti-inflammatory effect.

-receptors = Mu, Kappa, delta

31
Q

Effects of opioid agonists

A

Constipation
cough suppression
respiratory depression
pupil constriction

32
Q

Histamine involved in

A
  • allergic reactions
  • tissue response to injury
  • mediator of gastric acid secretion
  • may serve in CNS neural modulation
33
Q

Histamine receptors (H1,2,3)

A

H1= located on vascular, respiratory, and GI smooth muscle

H2= regulation of gastric acid secretion

H3= local regulation of histamine release????

34
Q

H1 vs H2

A

H1 = allergies, common cold, motion sickness, sedative

H2 = inhibit gastric acid secretion, reduce volume of gastric acid secretion, relief symptoms of peptic ulcers, GERD

35
Q

Anabolic vs corticosteroids

A

Anabolic - derivatives of testosterone. used by athletes

Corticosteroids - steroid hormones, produced in adrenal cortex, athletes try to mask anabolic use with this

36
Q

Hypothalamic-pituitary interface

A

1 - environment stim hypothalamus to release CRH
2- goes to anterior pituitary to inc. or dec. ACTH
3- anterior pituitary releases hormone into systemic circulation. travels to adrenal gland.
4- target gland results in corticosteroid production.

**feedback inhibition

37
Q

inner vs outer cortex.

A
inner = glucocorticoids
outer = mineral
38
Q

Physiological effects of glucocorticoids

A

1) protein breakdown
2) fat breakdown
3) maintain fx of vascular system
4) increase RBC and hemoglobin
5) support function of striated muscles
6) affect mood and CNS excitability
7) respond to stress
8) immunosuppression
9) anti-inflammatory activity (stops release of phospholipase A2)

39
Q

Regulation of glucocorticoids

A
  • not stored. made as needed

* controlled by ACTH

40
Q

Regulation of mineralcorticoids

A

renin-angiotensis system

41
Q

Cushing’s syndrome

A

Excess of glucocorticoids

42
Q

primary hyperaldosteronism

A

excessive secretion of aldosterone

43
Q

adrenocortical insufficiency

A
  • replacement therapy with corticosteroids

- gluco always required. possibly need mineral

44
Q

addison’s disease

A

deficiency of both gluco and mineral corticoids

45
Q

congenital adrenal hyperplasia

A

deficiency of enzymes for glucocorticoid synthesis

46
Q

Corticosteroid and acute/chronic injuries

A
Acute = no help to soft tissue
Chronic = will help soft tissue injury
47
Q

Steroid diabetes

A

taking corticosteroids can result in development of diabetes. causes an increase in blood glucose levels. need more insulin to control the increase.

48
Q

All ganglion (neurotransmitter stuff)

A

ACh to Nicotinic-n

49
Q

Parasympathetic nervous system neurotransmitter path

A

ACh -> Nn -> ACh -> M (various organs)

50
Q

Sympathetic nervous system neurotransmitter path

A

ACh -> Nn -> NE -> alpha or beta (various organs)
ACh -> Nn -> ACh -> M (sweat glands)
ACh -> Nn (adrenal medulla) -> Epi -> alpha or beta (various organs)

51
Q

Somatic motor system neurotransmitter path

A

ACh -> Nm (skeletal muscle)

** only place to nicotinic-m!

52
Q

Cholinergic

what, binds

A

ACh

binds - Nn, Nm, and muscarinic

53
Q

Adrenergic

A

Epi and NE

binds - alpha 1 & 2, beta 1 & 2, dopamine

54

55
Q

beta 2 dominant in **

A

LUNGS

56
Q

**Life cycle of ACh

made and degraded

A

made - choline and acetyl CoA

  • stored until needed
  • broken down by AChE
57
Q

**life cycle of NE

A

made - bunch of stuff

-terminated by form of re-uptake!

58
Q

Myasthenia gravis

A
  • fluctuating muscle weakness and rapid fatigue
  • drooping eyelids, difficult swallowing, weakness of muscles, difficulty breathing
  • autoimmune - antibodies against Nm receptors

*use: Neostigmine

59
Q

Nicotinic N and M

A
Nn= ganglion
Nm= only skeletal muscle. block = relaxation
60
Q

MATCHING!!!! ***** catecholamine drugs to receptors

A
Epi = alpha 1 & 2, beta 1 & 2
NE = alpha 1 & 2, beta 1
Isoproterenol = Beta 1 & 2
dobutamine = Beta 1
dopamine = alpha 1, beta 1, dopamine
61
Q

MATHCING!!! **** noncatecholamine drugs to receptors

A
Ephedrine = alpha 1 & 2, Beta 1 & 2
phenylephrine = Alpha 1
terbultaline = beta 2
62
Q

Alpha 1 uses

A

vasoconstriction, nasal decongestion, delay of anesthetic absorption, elevation of BP, pupil dilation

63
Q

Alpha 2 uses

A
Peripheral = inhibit NE release
CNS = reduce stim of adrenergic receptors
64
Q

A

HEART STUFF!

65
Q

Beta 2 uses

A

LUNG STUFF! asthma

also for delay preterm labor

66
Q

A

(kidney?)

Shock!

67
Q

functional unit of kidney

A

nephron

68
Q

urine filtering and exit

A
  • PCT - isotonic urine - dilute
  • Loop of henle = descending loop (water permeable, concentrated urine) and ascending loop (not water permeable, returns to isotonic urine)
  • DCT - water follows Na and Cl
  • Late DCT and collecting duct - Na and K exchange. ADH concentrates urine.
