JS PARAMEDIC TERMINOLOGY Flashcards
VASOCONSTRICTION OF THE ARTERIES AND VIENS.
ALPHA 1 (a-1)
INSULIN RESTRICTION, GLUCAGON CONSTRICTION, INHIBITION OF NOREPINEPHERINE RELEASE
ALPHA 2 (a-2)
INCREASED HR (CHRONOTROPIC EFFECT), INCREASED MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTILITY, (INOTROPIC EFFECT),INCREASED MYOCARDIAL CONDUCTION (DROMOTROPIC EFFECT), RENINE SECRETION FOR URINARY RETENSION
BETA 1 (b-1)
BRONCHUS AND BROCHIOLE RELAXATION, INSULIN SECRETION, URINARY RELAXATION, ARTERIAL DIALATION IN CERTAIN KEY ORGANS
BETA 2 (b-2)
VSASODILATION OF RENAL AND MASENTRIC ARTERIES (NUMEROUS RECEPTOR SUBTYPES EXIST)
DOPANERGIC
PRESENT AT NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION, ALLOWING ACETYLCHOLINE (ACh) TO STIMULATE MUSCLE CONTRACTION.
NICOTINIC
PRESENT IN THE HEART, ACTIVATED BY ACh TO OFFSET SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION, DECREASED HR, CONTRACTILITY ,AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTION VELOCITY
MUSCARINIC 2
THIS IS THE ABILITY OF A MEDICATION TO BIND WITH A PARTICULAR RECEPTOR SITE.
