Lecture 4 - Mydriatics Cycloplegics Flashcards
Hormones including dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine; produced from tyrosine in postganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system and the adrenal medulla
Catecholamines
Catechol-O-methy transferase; an enzyme of catecholamine metabolism
COMT
Monoamine oxidase; an enzyme of catecholamine metabolism
MAO
Pupillary contraction
miosis
Pupillary dilation
mydriasis
Paralysis of the ciliary body musculature responsible for accommodation.
cycloplegia
