Module 2.1 Flashcards
Adrenergic drugs
Stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
Cholinergic drugs
Stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system
What drugs does the sympathetic nervous system mimic?
Norepinephrine
Dopamine
Epinephrine
Direct acting versus indirect acting versus mixed acting
Direct acting directs directly to the receptor in causes a response
Indirect acting causes the drug to release neurotransmitters, which buying to the receptors to cause a response
Mixed acting, does both find the receptor and causes the release of neurotransmitters
Alpha 1 are located where
Postsynaptic
Alpha 2 are located where
Presynaptic
Alpha 1 main function
Vasoconstriction
The narrowing of blood vessels
What are some of the other functions of alpha 1
Decreased, G.I. mobility, ejaculation, urine contraction, pupil, dilation, bladder splinter
Who are we using a alpha one drug for
For patients with high blood pressure and anaphylactic
What does alpha 2 do
Control the release of neural transmitters
Where is Beta 1 located?
Heart
Where is beta 2 located
The lungs
Beta 1 functions
Increased heart rate (Chromotropic)
Increased strength of contraction or force ( Inotropic)
Increased automaticity ( ability to conduct electrical stimuli (dromotropic)
Where do beta one actions in the heart take place?
Myocardium, AV node, SA node
Beta 2 main function
Bronchodilation
Open up the bronchioles
Other functions of beta 2
Relaxes, uterus, and bowels vasodilation
Glycogenlysis ( used to convert glucose (fuel))
Dopamine receptors are stimulated by
Only dopamine
What do dopamine receptors do?
The dilation of the renal, mesenteric (abdominal ) ,coronary and cerebral blood vessels (more oxygen to the tissues)
Catecholamines what do they do?
Are neurotransmitter molecules provided by the SNS found in the vesicles at the end of nerves
Norepinephrine dopamine, Epi
