L9 - drugs affecting PNS Flashcards
what is the NT at all ganglia
ACh
what is the NT in all of the PNS
ACh
what is the NT in the post ganglionic SNS
NA
ACh in sweat glands
what is the receptor at all ganglia
nicotinic ACh
what is the NT in pre ganglionic synapses
ACh
what type of receptor are nicotinic
ligand gated ion channels
what type of receptor are muscarinic
G protein coupled
where are muscarinic receptors? give examples
all post ganglionic PNS synapses
also sweat glands of SNS
salivary glands, GI tract, bladder, lungs , heart
how is ACh synthesised
choline + acetyl CoA via CAT enzyme
how does ACh get into neuron
carrier against conc gradient
where are NAChR’s located
NMJ and ganglionic
how many muscarinic receptors are there
M1 - M5
which of the Muscarinic receptors are Gq linked
M1 - M3 - M5
where are M3 found
smooth muscle
salivary glands
vasoconstriction
(activation increases both)
where are M1 found and what do they do
GI tract
increase GI secretion
