Q

how does atropine suppress thermoregulatory sweating

A

works on the sympathetic cholinergic nerve fibers

29

what are the catecholamine adrenergic agonists

A
epinephrine
norepinephrine
isoproterenol
dopamine
dobutamine
31
Q

what are alpha agonists

A

phenylephrine, methoxamine, mildodrine

32
Q

what are the beta 2 specific agonists

A

albuterol, salmeterol, formoterol, terbutaline, ritodrine, metaproterenol

33
Q

what are the adrenergic agonists that have mixed actions

A

ephedrine and pseudoephedrine because release NE and have direct agonist activity

34
Q

what are the systemic effects of alpha1 adrenergic agonists

A
constriction blood vessels
mydriasis
contraction of spleen and uterus
constrict sphincter of bladder
glycogenolysis
ejaculation
35
Q

what are the systemic effects of alpha 2 agonist

A

inhibit release of insulin, relaxation smooth m

36
Q

which adrenergic R is responsible for glycogenolysis in liver

A

B2

37
Q

what are the systemic effects of B1 agonist

A

positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of heart

stimulates renin release

38
Q

what are the systemic effects of B2 agonists

A

relaxation of bronchioles and uterul
relaxation of vasc smooth m in blood vessels
glycogenolysis
stimulates release of insulin
relaxation of detrusor muscle and intestinal smooth m

39
Q

what blood vessels in skel muscle does epi work on

A

alpha 1 and beta 2, higher affinity for beta2 (low doses then target beta 2 more)

40
Q

what blood vessels can epi activate beta 2

A

coronoaries and skel m vasculature

41
Q

which catecholamine increases HR (chronotropic)

A

isoproterenol

epinephrine

42
Q

what catecholamine increases total peripheral R so increases BP

A

norepi

43
Q

which catecholamines increase CO

A

epi and isoproterenol

44
Q

what are the net effects of epi on BP

A

diastolic dec
systolic increase
mean unchanged

45
Q

What is a contraindication for epi

A

HTN, shock, hyperthyroidism, angina pectoris, asthmatics with degenerative heart disease

46
Q

norepi does not work on what adrenergic R

A

beta2

47
Q

what are the effects of norepi on heart

A

increase in inotropic and chronotropic
reflex bradycardia from vasoconstriction
so net is inc inotropic and dec chronotropic

48
Q

What is the net effect of norepi on BP

A

increased

49
Q

What R does isoproterenol work on

A

all of betas

50
Q

what is the change in BP from isoproterenol

A

increased systolic and decreased diastolic

decreased MAP

51
Q

what are the effects of dopamine on the heart

A

mild positive inotropic and chronotropic effects compared to isoproterenol

52
Q

what are the effects of dopamine on blood vessels

A

vasodilation of mesenteric and renal vascular beds (dopamine R)
