Q

What is the cell signaling for Alpha 2 receptors?

A

Gi protein coupled

inhibits

Adenlyl Cyclase

inhibits

ATP –> CAMP (Less CAMP)

*just think Gi –> i for inhibitory and the Alpha 2 is a presynaptic inhibitory receptor

Q

What is the cell signalling for Beta 1 & 2 receptors?

A

Gs protein coupled (stimulatory)

activates

Adenlyl Cyclase

activates

ATP –> CAMP (More CAMP)

*think s for stimulatory and the beta receptors are stimulatory

Q

If you are giving a ton of pressors, what route of med administration should you be worried about working?

Q

CAMP in the smooth muscle causes what (contraction or relaxation?)
