Q

Explain the synthesis of acetylcholine?

A
  1. Acetyl CoA synthesized in mitochondria.
  2. Choline transported into the neuron terminal by
    a sodium-dependent carrier (CHT1).
  3. ACh is synthesized in the cytoplasm from acetyl-CoA and choline, a reaction catalysed by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT).
4. ACh transported into vesicles by a the vesicular
ACh transporter (VAChT).
  1. ACh released occurs when an action potential reaches the terminal and triggers calcium influx
    through voltage-gated calcium channels
26
Q

What is the rate-limiting step of ACh synthesis?

A

the uptake of choline

27
Q

Explain cholinergic transmission of acetylcholine?

A
  1. ACh binds to cholinergic receptors: nicotinic
    or muscarinic in the postsynaptic membrane
  2. ACh binds to presynaptic M2 Ach receptors,
    which inhibit Ach release
  3. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) splits ACh into
    choline and acetate
28
Q

What happens during organophosphate poisoning?

A

it will irreversibly bind to the enzyme aceytlcholinesterase

29
Q

symptoms of organophosphate poisoning?

A

muscarinic: diarrhea, urination, miosis, bronchospasm, bradycardia, emesis, lacrimation, sweating, salivation

Nicotinic: neuromuscular blockade

CNS effects: respiratory depression, lethargy, seizures, coma

30
Q

How to treat organophosphate poisoning?

A

Atropine + Pralidoxime

31
Q

What are the two types of cholinergic receptors?

A

nicotinic receptors and muscarinic receptors

32
Q

what are the types of nicotinic receptors?

A

muscle type (Nm) and neuronal type (Nn)

ligand gated channels!!!

33
Q

What are the different types of muscarinic receptors?

A

M1, M2, M3, M4, M5

34
Q

Which muscarinic receptors are Gq-protein-linked?

A

M1, M3,M5

all use IP3, DAG, Ca pathway (increase)

35
Q

Which muscarinic receptors are Gi-protien-linked?

A

M2 and M4

decrease in cAMP

36
Q

Where are M1 receptors found? what do they do?

A

nerve endings, brain neurons and autonomic ganglia (DAG cascade)

higher cognitive functioning and stimulates ENS

37
Q

Where are M2 receptors found? what do they do?

A

Heart and some nerve endings (less cAMP)

inhibit the release of ACh
decrease heart rate
decrease aortic contraction

38
Q

Where are M3 receptors found? What do they do?

A

smooth muscle, glands, and endothelium (DAG
cascade)

increase exocrine gland secretion 
increase gut movement 
increase bladder contraction 
pupillary and bronchial constriction 
vasodilation in endothelium
39
Q

Where are Nn receptors found?

A

ANS ganglia (evokes AP)

learning, memory, chromaffin release, and neuronal activation

40
Q

Where are Nm receptors found?

A

neuromuscular end plate (evokes AP)

muscle contraction

41
Q

Explain the synthesis of NE?

A
  1. Tyrosine is transported into the adrenergic neuron by system L.
  2. Tyrosine is then converted to LDOPA by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase.
  3. DOPA is converted to dopamine by DOPA decarboxylase.
  4. Vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) translocate dopamine into synaptic vesicles
  5. Intravesicular dopamine-βhydroxylase converts dopamine to NE.
42
Q

what is the rate limiting step of NE synthesis?

A

Tyrosine conversion to DOPA by tyrosine hydroxylase

is the rate-limiting step in the formation of NE

43
Q

explain adrenergic transmission?

A

Norepinephrine (NE):

  1. Released NE binds adrenergic receptors: alpha or beta on the postsynaptic membrane
  2. Released NE binds to presynaptic alpha2 autoreceptors which inhibits NE release
  3. Termination of the action of NE results from diffusion away from the receptor site and reuptake into the nerve terminal, mediated by the Na+
  4. dependent NE transporter (NET).
44
Q

What are the two broad types of adrenergic receptors?

A
  1. alpha receptors (G-protein linked)
