Mid 1: ANS Flashcards
Sympathetic NTs
NE in most, ACh in sweat glands
Parasymp NTs
ACh
Muscarinic receptor types and locations
M1: some neurons
M2: heart
M3: smooth muscle, glands
Nicotinic receptor locations
Autonomic ganglia, skeletal muscle, some CNS neurons
M3 molecular pathway
Gq > IP3 > Ca2+ release
M3 actions in different locations
-Smooth muscle: contraction
-blood vessel: vasodilation
-glands: secretion
M2 molecular path
Gi > AC inhib > decrease Camp
M2 actions in different locations (with path )
-atrial muscle: reduced cAMP > reduced Ca2+ influx > reduced contractility
-pacemaker tissue (SA node):
G beta gamma subunits activate ACh sensitive K+ channels, lower heart reate
M3 smooth muscle contraction pathway
Gq > IP3 > IP3 > Ca2+ release > Ca2+ binds calmodulin > activates myosin light chain kinase > MLCK phosphs myosin > myosin binds actin forming cross bridge
Nitric oxide pathway
ACh M3 activation in endothelial cell, L-arginine and nitric oxide synthase, NO generated, guyanylyl cyclase in smooth muscle, inc cGMP, inhibition L type ca channels, decreased MLCK , increased MLCK phosphatase
Nn: location, agonists, antagonists
nicotinic receptor n location: postganglionic neurons
agonists: ACh, nicotine
antag: hexamethonium
Nm: location, ag, antag
Nicotinic m type
loc: skeletal muscle
ag: Ach, nicotine
antag: tubocurarine
alpha1 receptor location, functions, molecular path
location: smooth muscles, exocrine glands, CNS
func: contraction, secretion
path: Gq, PL-C, IP3, SR Ca2+ release
alpha 2 loc, func, path
-loc: presynaptic membrane
-func: autoreceptor
-path: Gi, reduced cAMP/PKA, reduced Ca2+ influx
-loc: blood platelets
-function: platelet aggregation
-path: Gi, reduced cAMP, platelet agg
-loc:pancreatic beta cells
-func: insulin secrete
-inc Ca2+, insulin
beta 1 loc, func, path
loc: heart and kidney
path: Gs, cAMP/PKA, Ca2+ influx
func: increase heart rate and contractility, renin secretion in kidney
beta 2 loc, func, path
loc: smooth muscles of airway, blood vessels in skeletal muscle
path: Gs, cAMP, inhib MLCK, smooth muscle relax
func: smooth muscle relax
iris circular muscle: function, receptor, symp/para
sphincter
constriction (miosis)
parasympathetic activation of m3 receptor
iris radial muscle: function, receptor, symp/para
dilator
dilation (mydriasis)
sympathetic activation of alpha1 receptor
synth path of NE
tyrosine, dopa, DA , NE
transport path DA/NE
-vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) puts DA in synaptic vesicles
-in vesicles dopamine beta-hydroxilase converts to NE
-NE reuptake through NE transporter/NET/Uptake 1
-cytoplasmic NE vesicled w/ vmat or degraded with MAO
degredation NE and E
MAO and COMT converts both to vanillymandelic acid (VMA)
Pheochromocytoma
Adrenal medulla tumor
high Ne and E production
hypertension
urine VMA levels elevated
reserpine
inhibition of NE storage
guanethidine
inhib of NE release
