Lecture 2 Flashcards
Another word for force of contraction
Inotropy
Another word for speed of conduction
Dromotropy
Another word for heart rate
Chronotropy
What are catecholamines
Norepinephrine
Dopamine
Epinephrine
What is an antagonist
Inhibits the physiological action
What is an agonist
Imitates a physiological response
What happen to the pupils in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: dilates pupils
Parasympathetic: constricts pupils
What happens to the salivary glands in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: inhibits salivary gland secretions
Parasympathetic: simulates salivary gland secretions
What happens to the bronchi in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: relaxes bronchi in the lungs (dilates)
Parasympathetic: constricts bronchi in lungs
What happens to the heart in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: accelerates heart
Parasympathetic: slows heart down
What happens to the stomach and intestines in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: inhibits activity of stomach and intestines
Parasympathetic: simulates activity of stomach and intestines
What happens to the pancreas in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: inhibits activity of pancreas
Parasympathetic: stimulates activity of pancreas
What happens to the gallbladder in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: inhibits gallbladder; stimulates glucose release from liver
Parasympathetic: stimulates gallbladder
What happens to the bladder in sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
Sympathetic: inhibits emptying of bladder
Parasympathetic: promotes emptying the bladder
When stimulated what does alpha 1 receptors do?
Vasoconstriction
Mydriasis
Constriction of bladder sphincter and urinary retention
When stimulated what does beta 1 receptors do?
Increases heart rate
Increases contractibility
Increases AV conduction
Increases blood pressure
Increases renin production
+ (chronotropy, inotropy, dromotrophy)
When stimulated what does beta 2 receptors do?
Bronchodilation
Vasodilation
Increases insulin
Decreases GI
What happens when you block alpha 1 receptors
Vasodilation, decreased BP, miosis, improved urine outflow
What happens when you block beta 1
Negative chronotrophy
Negative dromotrophy
Negative inotrophy
Decreased blood pressure
What happens when you block beta 2
Bronchoconstriction
What are cardio selective sympathomimetics used for?
Heart failure, increase BP, shock, anaphylaxis (epi) and CPR
What is Dobutamine?
Sympathetic stimulate
+ inotrope
Indication, receptors, and drug effect of dobutamine
Indication: heart failure (pump failure)
Receptors stimulated: B1
Drug effect: increased cardiac output
Indication for dopamine
Shock
Receptors stimulated with dopamine
Dopamine
Beta 1
Alpha 1
Drug effect of dopamine in low, moderate, and high doses
Low dose: dilate renal, mesentery, coronary and cerebral vessels
Moderate: + intropy
High doses: vasoconstriction
Side effect of dopamine
Tachycardia
Indications, receptors stimulated, and drug effect of epinephrine
Indications: anaphylaxis, CPR, shock
Receptors stimulated: all (alpha 1, beta 1, beta 2)
Drug effect: for cardiac arrest: increased blood pressure and heart rate. For asthma attack: increased RR and increased oxygen level
Indications, receptors stimulated, and drug effect for norepinephrine
Indications: shock
Receptors: alpha 1 and beta 1
Drug effect: vasoconstriction, + intrope, + dromotrope, + chronotrope
Indications, receptors, and drug effect of phenylephrine
Indications: hypotension
Receptors: alpha 1
Drug effect: vasoconstriction
Adverse effects of the cardio selective sympathomimetics
Hypertension, tachycardia, dysrhythmia, chest pain, dizziness, tremors
