16
Q

what muscarinic receptors are Gi/o linked

A

M2

17
Q

what do the Gi/o linked ACh M2 receptors mediate

A

slowing of HR (atria)

neuronal inhibition

18
Q

list some effects of muscarinic agonists

A
  1. slowed HR
  2. smooth muscle contraction
  3. sweating
19
Q

what are nicotinic receptors permeable to

A

K+ Na+

20
Q

what is the difference between ACh effect at the NMJ and in the ANS

A
  1. at the ANS it causes AP at the post synaptic membrane

2. in the NMJ an end plate potential has to be reached before an AP is generated

21
Q

what types of enzymes are AChE’s

A

serine hydrolases

22
Q

what are the names of the 2 regions in the active site of AChEs

A

anionic site

esteratic site

23
Q

role of anionic site in active site of AChE’s

A

binds to choline

24
Q

is neostigmine or edrophonium longer lasting?

A

neostigmine

25
Q

effects of AChE inhibitors

A
  1. increase all PNS activity (bradycardia, salivary&GI secretions, smooth muscle contraction)
