31
Q

synthesis of NE and E

A

dopamine enters vesicle and is converted to NE or E

NE > E in adrenal medulla

32
Q

norepinephrine receptors?

A

alpha, beta - end organ

alpha-2, beta-2 - presynaptic membrane

33
Q

NE recycling?

A

shuttled back into cell

-broken down or recycled

34
Q

cocaine

A

blocks NE membrane transporter

35
Q

catecholamine synthesis?

A

tyrosine > dopa > dopa > NE > E

**don’t worry about enzymes

36
Q

what occurs in nerve cytoplasm?

A

tyrosine to dopamine

37
Q

what happens vesicle?

A

dopamine to NE

38
Q

what occurs in adrenal medulla?

A

NE to E (chromafin cells)

39
Q

Na+ dependent tyrosine transporter

A

transporter tyrosine into nerve terminal

40
Q

vesicular monoamine transporter

A

aka VMAT-2

transports NE, Epi, DA, and serotonin into vesicles

release upon action potential and Ca2+ influx

41
Q

NE transporter

A

aka NET

imports NE into nerve terminal

DAT

42
Q

reserpine

A

only drug you need to know

used to be used for BP

inhibits transporter VMAT-2
-less NE release

43
Q

major mechanisms that terminates catecholamine action?

A

reuptake

NET and DAT

after reuptake, catecholamines stored in vesicles by VMAT-2

44
Q

metabolism of catecholamines?

A

MAO

COMT

45
Q

A

relax smooth muscle***
-vasodilation

beta 2 agonists used for asthma

epi-pen target

59
Q

contract smooth muscle

-different intracellular signaling than alpha-1, but still results in contraction

60
Q

beta-1

A

increases heart rate

61
Q

end organs

A

dual innervation of S and PS

62
Q

smooth muscle in vascular?

A

no parasympathetic innervation

Discrepancy:
ACh and muscarinic agonists give IV results in vasodilation b/c of NO release

63
Q

NO?

A

ACh muscarinic activation on endothelial cells

  • results in NO sythesis
  • NO goes to smooth muscle to result in vasodilation

conversion of GTP to cyclic GMP

results in VASODILATION

EDRF - endothelium derived relaxing factor (NO)

64
Q

nitroglycerine

A

can result in vasodilation

-GTP > cGMP - vasodilation

65
Q

A

understand the general trends of receptors and S and PS effects

66
Q

adrenal medulla

A

ACh binds to Nn AChR and results in localized depolarization at chromaffin cells

release of 80% Epi and 20% NE

67

cholinomimetic

A

mimic ACh
-acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
AChR agonists

68
Q

cholinoceprot-blocking drugs

A

AChR antagonists

69
Q

sympathomimetic agents

A

mimic or enhance alpha and beta receptors

  • enhance catecholamine synthesis
  • block reuptake
70

A

inhibits neutrotransmitter uptake adrenergic receptors

72
