Kaplan Flashcards
What receptor does epi and norepi bind to?
Alpha or beta
Can epi/norepi work on non-innervated receptors? can ACh?
NE and ACh can’t work on non-innervated receptors. Epi can.
Norepi and epi are different because epi can bind to ___ receptor
Beta 2
How to block bradycardia caused by baroreceptor reflexes?
Block Nn receptor of preganglionic/block muscarinic (M2) receptor on heart muscle
Which autonomic system is responsible for reflex bradycardia?
Parasymp through M2 receptor
Baroreceptor only fires when there’s an ___ in BP?
increase
Which receptor is responsible for reflex tachycardia?
Beta 1
Which autonomic system is responsible for reflex tachycardia?
Symp through beta 1
Which receptor vasodilate when stimulated?
beta 2
Progression of RAAS?
Renal profusion decrease—>secrete renin—>renine convert angiotesinogen to angiotensin I—>ACE (lungs) convert angiotensin I to II
What does angiotensin II do?
increase TPR/aldosterone
What does aldosterone do?
Work on collecting duct—>increase Na and H2O reabsorption and K secretion—>increase blood volume—>increase preload—>increase CO—>increase BP
What should you be consider when you try to lower a pt’s BP?
Homeostasis (baroreceptor and RAAS)
If you stimulate the sphincter muscle of the eyes, you get?
what system and receptor control this muscle?
Pinpoint pupil—>miosis
Paraymp/M3
If you stimulate the radial muscle of the eyes, you get? what system and receptor control this muscle?
Dilate pupil—>mydriasis
Symp/alpha 1
Ciliary muscle (accommodation) has only ___ receptor?
M3
When ciliary muscle is stimulated or contracted, you see ___ better?
Near objects
Miosis with blurry distant vision, what drugs is used here?
Muscarinic agonist
What is cycloplegia?
Paralysis of accommodation (muscarinic antagonist)
Hemicholinium (no clinical use) blocks the reuptake of ___?
Choline
What do you die from botulinum toxin?
Diaphragmatic paralysis
What do we use for hyperhidrosis?
Botulinum toxin on Nm receptor—>decrease secretion
Muscarinic agonist (M2) can cause a prolonged ___ interval?
PR
Muscarinic agonist for lungs will give pattern of ___?
COPD
___ receptors desensitize quickly
Nicotinic
Can you use direct acting cholinomimetics for GI/urinary mechanical obstruction (tumor)?
No, for neurogenic only
Pilocarpine is usually used ___?
Topically
What drug to give for CF screening?
Pilocarpine—>increase sweat secretion for collecting sweat to test for chloride level
Will direct acting cholinomimetics cause vasodilation?
Yes, cuz blood vessels have no innervation (indirect does not work)
Indirect acting cholinomimetics is aften used to reverse ___?
Receptor blockade
What is cholinergic crisis?
Desensitized receptors
What does curare do?
Nm receptor antagonist/competitively and reversibly bind/cause paralysis for surgery
What is aging associated with organophosphate?
Hydrolysis of the R group of organophosphate—>deem it irreversible from 2-PAM
How long does aging occur for insecticide and sarin?
6-8 hours/2-3mins
Chronic exposure to low level of organophosphate mimic?
multiple sclerosis
What can we use to dilate the pupil for eye exam?
Muscarinic antagonist (tropicamide)
3 Cs of muscarinic antagonist
Cardiotoxicity (V tach/elevated ORS and OT interval/tarsades de pointes)/convulsion/coma
Muscarinic antagonist in the CNS mimic ____?
Alzheimer’s disease
Antidote for atropine overdose?
Physotigmine
Which 2 drugs can be used for motion sickness?
Antihistamine and scopolamine
Can ganglionic blockers (Hexamethonium/mecamylamine) prevent the effect of direct beta 1 or M2 agonist?
Nein
Ganglionic blockers wipe out ___ reflex?
Baroreceptor
Which enzyme is unique to norepi?
Dopamine beta hydroxylase (in the vesicle)
Norepi works on __ and __ receptor?
Alpha 1 and beta 1
What gets rid of the mobile pool of reuptook NE?
MAO-A
Alpha 2 receptor is mostly a ___ receptor
Autoreceptor
Stimulate alpha 1 receptor increase ___ and ___ pressure
Systolic and diastolic
Alpha 1 receptor is mostly on ___?
Smooth muscle (cause it to contract when stimulated)
Alpha 1 stimulation decrease ___ release in the kidney
Renin
