responses to adrenergic agonists is similar to sympathetic nervous system activation

A

Sympathomimetics

20
Q

Ways that andrenergic agonists act

A

– Direct receptor activation
– Promotion of NE release
– Inhibition of NE Reuptake
– Inhibition of NE Inactivation

21
Q

Does NE excite or inhibit organs?

A

It can do both depending on the receptor

22
Q

Receptors are all _____ and are divided into ______.

A
  • GPCRs (7-TM receptors)

- alpha and beta

23
Q

a1 and B1 receptors produce _____, white a2 and B2 produce ______.

A
  • Excitation

- Inhibition

24
Q
  • 7-TM receptor
  • GPCR (coupled to Gq)
  • Increases [Ca2+]i
  • Excitatory
A

a1 Adrenergic Receptors

25
Q

a1 Adrenergic Receptor localization

A

primarily in smooth muscle (blood vessels, eye, bladder, urinary tract, male sex organs, uterus,)

26
Q
  • Vasoconstriction of blood vessels
