Two divisions of the autonomic system?
Sympathetic (Fight/Flight)
Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest)
Adrenergic neurotransmitters fall into which category of ANS?
Sympathetic
What are the two adrenergic neurotransmitters?
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
Cholinergic neurotransmitters fall into which category of the ANS?
Parasympathetic
What is the Cholinergic neurotransmitter?
Acetylcholine
What are the two exogenous cholinergic categories?
Muscarine
Nicotine
What is dopamine a precursor of?
Norepinephrine
How do Ritalin and Adderall activate SANS indirectly?
Releasing NE
How do drugs influence the ANS?
Mimic or block the effects of two primary neurotransmitters Acetylcholine, and Norepinephrine/Epinephrine
Drugs that mimic acetylcholine are referred to as what?
Cholinergic = muscarinic agonists = parasympathomimetic
Drugs that block acetylcholine referred to as what?
Anticholinergic = muscarinic antagonist = parasympatholytic
Drugs that mimic norepinephrine referred to as what?
Adrenergic = Adrenergic agonist = sympathomimetic
Drugs that block norepinephrine referred to as what?
Antiadrenergic = adrenergic antagonist = sympatholytic
Where are nicotinic receptors located?
Ganglions
Skeletal muscle
Neuronal CNS
Nicotinic receptors are made out of what?
Ion channels made out of 5 subunits
Which muscarinic receptor is ubiquitous?
M3
