final material Flashcards
what causes catecholamines to be released
sympathetic stimulus - usually a fight or flight response
what is a catecholamine
2 OH + amine on a aromatic ring
epinephrine low concentration
best B1 agonist
Beta > alpha
B1, B2
not much B3 bc NE
beta 1
increases heart rate and force of contraction (positive chronotropic and positive inotropic effects, renin release
Beta 2
bronchodilation, relaxes the smooth muscles (uterine and bronchus), increases vasculature, increases renin
Alpha 1
acts on more than sympathetic activity, vasoconstriction, contraction of smooth muscles (ureter, uterus, ciliary body), glycolysis/gluconeogenesis
alpha 2
auto-receptor, negative synaptic loop, decreases synaptic activity, decreases heart rate, vasodilation, inhibits NE, inhibit insulin, stimulates glucagon release
epinephrine response at the heart
inc heart rate, increase SV, increase CO, increase force of contraction, increase blood pressure
epinepherine response at lungs
bronchodilation can enhance epi for asthma, BUT high heart rate
epi response at vasculature
high conc: alpha 1 predominates, vasoconstrict, increases TPR
low conc: B2, decreases TPR, vasodilation
epi therapeutic uses
not as much vasoconstriction as NE
epi in asthma
dilates airways
epi in conjunction with local anesthetic
prolongs action of anesthetic, hangs out longer, vasoconstrictor can be removed from site
MOA of epi-pen
activates the alpha 1 receptors, lessens the vasodilation and lessens the increased vascular permeability that occurs during anaphylaxis - leads to a loss of intravascular fluid volume and hypotension
NE
best at increases BP, synthesized and stored in the terminal of the sympathetic post-ganglionic neuron, targets alpha 1, alpha 2, b1, b2
NE effect on the heart
increases the heart rate and increases the force of contraction and increases the CO
NE on lungs
no effect, no B2
NE on vasculature
vasoconstrict - alpha 1
NE administered for shock
dangerously low blood pressure - admin levophed, dec BP, not enough BV, vasoconstrict because not enough BP, increases peripheral resistance
isoproterenol
B1 and B2 agonist, decreases peripheral resistance, increases pulse rate, decreases blood pressure
dopamine
synthesized and stored in the terminal of the SNS postganglionic neuron, concentration dependent
low concentration dopamine
D1
high conc dopamine
alpha 1, lowest kd affinity
mild conc dopamine
B1
