Q

An asmatic patient came with a problem in heart condition & u adminstered propanol, he developed an asmatic attack, why is this so?

A

Propanol is non selective B antagonist

Its slowers heart rate and reduces force of comtraction but also acted kn the b2 in the lings and causes bronchocomstriction.

Q

symapthetic

A

preganglionic fibres

  • innervates SA, AV, Myocardium
  • release NE
  • acts mainly on B1 adrenocepters

INCREASES heart Rate (chronotropy)
INCREASES FORCE OF contraction (inotrphy)

(B2 & B3 r also in the heart, but main effect is via B1)

Q
  1. List the probable physiological effects of giving an individual a drug which antagonises the action of noradrenaline at a- adrenoreceptors.
A

Arteriolar vasodilation, reduces blood pressure and may cause postural
hypotension
Initial increase in heart rate mediated by baroreceptor reflex Relaxes GI and urinary sphincters

Q

During excersize, what increases BF to the tissues?

A

The vasodilation of bv via B2 isnt the main reson why we get increased BF, it is mostly through the action of METABOLITES.

The more active the tissue becomes, the more it will release metabolites! (Adenosine, pottasium, H+, Co2) these act on vascular smooth muscle cells to cause relaxation.

Q

Why are baroreceptors not able to control longer term changes

Q

where r baroreceptors located? what do they do?

A

they r stretch receptor found:

  • carotid sinus (dilated region at the bifurcation)
  • aortic arch wall

they detect changes in BP

But only short term regulatiom , bc it tends to reset itself after a few days

Q

A patient with an overactive thyroid gland has an increased
response to sympathetic input to the heart. How will the
patient’s heart rate and cardiac output differ from normal?

A

The patient will have a fast heart rate and increased cardiac output.

21
Q

When changes in pressure occur, from where r the afferent nerves coming from goint to the brain?

A

Barorecepters>carotid sinus & carodis body» high pressure
Pressure recepters> atria> low pressure system

22
Q

how does NA increase force of contraction?

A

acts on B1 G-s Recepters in myocardium> Adeyly cyclase> increase CAMP > PKA

  • phosphorylate Ca+ channels
  • increased uptake of Ca in SR (increase Ca store)
  • increased sensitivity of contractile machinery to Ca
23
Q

most vessels receive sympathetic/parasympathetic innervation?
what type?

A

sympathetic
mostly a1
B2

24
Q

Effct of prazosin?

A

A1- antagonist»vasodilaton of bv wil occur

25
Q

explain what the vasomotor tone is? what allows this arise?

A

Bv must always remain PARTIALLY contracted in order to maintain a stable arterial pressure!!
***u want there to be a tone so either dilation or constriction can occur.

via the vasconstrictor area in the vasomotor centre.

26
Q

if we denervate the heart, will it still pump?

A

yes, electrical activity is activated bc the spontaneous activity of the cell in the ca node.

27
Q

Some individuals react to bee sting or nettle sting with a
massive release of chemical mediators tending to dilate blood
vessels and constrict the airways of the lung. What substance
would you need to inject into some one suffering this ‘anaphylaxsis’ and why?

A

Adrenaline
Constriction of resistance arterioles caused by a high concentration of adrenaline acting on α1 receptors increases blood pressure
Relaxes airways of the lung via action on β2 adrenergic receptors

28
Q

some bv have B2 as well as A1 receptor, describe them and their affinities to circulating adrenaline

A

a1> vasocontrciotn
B2> vasodilation

But B2 has an higher affinity to normal circulating levels of NA, but if we increase the amount NA, IT will act on the a1

29
Q

most vessels receive sympathetic/parasympathetic innervation?

A

sympathetic
mostly a1

(but coronory and skeletal muscle vasculature have B2)

30
Q

what is BNP?

A

brain natriutic peptide, ventricular myoctyes release them in response to high tension.
good marker for HF

31
Q

Parasympathetic control of the heart is via the _______nerve

A

Vagus 10th cranial nerve

32
Q

What effect does PKA have on MLCK? Give an examle where this can be seen

A

It phosphorolates it» therefore inhbits it action&raquo_space; stops comtraction

On B2 adrenocepters on the smooth muscle artery wall., vasoldilation occurs

33
Q

How do barorwcpeters rwgulate bp? Is this a short term or longterm regulation?

A

Short term, it detects rise in bp> stretches> signals sent to medulla in the coordinating centre>efferent signals leave and inhibit sympatheic activity to heart and bv

**this is only short term, 7ada bs 1-2 days bs!

34
Q

A pateint developed an anaphylactic shock, what do we give him?

A

We 2 shots epipen (epinephrine pen) (the shot bl leg)

A big dose of Adreneline since that will work on A1 recepters on bv and cause vasoconstriction.

35
Q

what control the levels of sympathetic and parasympathetic outflows?

A

the cv centre in the medulla oblongata

36
Q

circulating Adrenaline has a higher affinity to B2 or A1 receptors?

A

B2, but at higher concentrations it will activate A1 as well.

37
Q

What do we use for the treamtnet of glaucoma?

A

Pilocarpine»muscuranic agonist» used in treamtment of glaucoma

** activates constrictor pupillae muscle

38
Q

What is meant when said that the atrial recepter is a “low pressure system”?

A

Theyre on the low pressure side of the system (gunna detect the venous pressure) unlike the carotid ones

39
Q

A patient had a cardiogenic shock, what can we adminster him?

A

If u wanna act on the heart bs, use a SELECTIVE B1 agonist-dobutamine

40
Q

The ANS does not initiate electrical activity in the heart

A

Ok

41
Q

Describe the parastmpathetic input to heart

Recepter type? Neurotransmitter? How would that effect the heart

A

postganglionic cells release ACh
• acts on M2-receptors

– decrease heart rate (-ve chronotropic effect)
– decrease AV node conduction velocity

42
Q

Sympathetic control of the heart is via the …………. nerves

A

Cardiac

43
Q

The cardiac output is the product of ……………. and …………………..
………………………..

A

Sv & HR

44
Q

The cardiac output is the product of ……………. and …………………..

45
Q

If you gave an individual an injection of adrenaline (at a dose
higher than the normal circulating levels in exercise) what
cardiorespiratory effects would occur?

A

T h e r e w o u ld b e a n in c r e a s e in h e a r t r a t e , s t r o k e v o l u m e a n d t h e r e f o r e c a r d i a c o u t p u t T h e a r t e r i o le s t o t h e s k i n w o u l d v a s o c o n s t r ic t ( a c t io n o f a d r e n a l in e o n α 1 r e c e p t o r s ) T h e a ir w a y s w o u ld d i l a t e ( a c t io n o f a d r e n a l i n e o n β 2 receptors)

46
Q

What does an individual with a high circulating level of adrenaline
look like to an outside observer?

A

An x i o u s Sw e a t y ( a d r e n e r g ic s w e a t i n g ) Pa l e D i l a t e d p u p i ls

47
Q

In principle, what sort of drug would you use to limit the
autonomic effects of poisoning with an acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor?

A

M u s c a r i n ic r e c e p t o r a n t a g o n is t s , e . g . a t r o p in e

48
Q

most arteries and veins have α1 adrenocepters

– ——–and ———-muscle vasculature also have β2

A

Coronory and skeletal muscle

49
Q

Give 2 examples of β-adrenoreceptor antagonists

A

-propranolol
Non selective b1/b2 antagonist
Slows HR, reduce force of contraction, acts on bronchiol smooth muscle (b2)-brinchocomstriction

-atenolol
Selective b1 (selective β1
(cardio-selective) - less risk of bronchoconstriction
