Alpha 1 Receptor Physiology (location and effect)
Post-synaptically found in the vasculature, heart, glands and gut
Activation causes vasoconstriction and relaxation of the GI tract
Alpha 2 Receptor Physiology (Location and Effect)
Pre
Pre-synaptic
- Found in peripheral vascular smooth muscle, coronaries and brain
- Activation causes inhibition of NE release and inhibition of sympathetic outflow leading to decrease BP and decrease HR
- inhibition of CNS activity
Alpha 2 Receptor Physiology (Location and Effect)
Post
found in: coronaries, CNS
activation causes constriction and sedation and analgesia
Beta 1 Receptor Physiology (Location and Effect)
found in: myocardium, SA node, ventricular conduction system, coronaries, kidney
Activations causes: increase in inotropy, chronotropy, myocardial conduction, velocity, coronary relaxation and renin release
Beta 2 Receptor Physiology (Location and Effect)
Found in: Vascular, bronchial, and uterine smooth muscle, smooth muscle in the skin, myocardium, coronaries, kidneys, gi tract
Activation causes: vasodilation, bronchodilation, uterine relaxation, gluconeogensis, insulin release, potassium uptake by the cells
Synthetic Non Catecholamines
Ephedrine (Direct and Indirect)
Phenylephrine (Direct)

What are the effects of most anesthetics?
myocardial depressant and vasodilators
Alpha 1 of most vascular smooth muscle (blood vessels, sphincters & bronchi) cause
contraction
Alpha 1 receptors of Iris (radial muscle) causes
contraction (dilates pupils= mydriasis)
Alpha 1 receptors of pilomotor smooth muscle causes
erect hair
alpha 1 receptors of prostate and uterus causes
contraction
alpha 1 receptors of the heart causes
increase force of contraction (B1 more impt)
Alpha 2 receptors of platelets cause
aggregation
Alpha 2 receptors of the adrenrgic & cholinergic nerve terminals (presynaptic)
inhibit transmitter release (decrease BP and decrease HR)
