module 6 autonomics Flashcards
sympathetic innervation
neurons arise in thoracic, lumbar regions
short preganglionic neurons, long post
parasympathetic innervation
neurons arise in cranial, sacral regions
long preganglionic neurons, short post
sympathetic neurotransmitters
preganglionic: acetylcholine: nicotinic receptors
postganglionic: norepi or acetylcholine: adrenergic or muscarinic receptors
parasympathetic neurotransmitters
preganglionic: acetylcholine: nicotinic receptors
postganglionic: acetylcholine: muscarinic receptors
nicotinic ACh receptors
stimulated by ACh
PSNS postganglionic neurons
SNS preganglionic and postganglionic sweat glands
neuromuscular junction
muscarinic receptors
sweat glands: stimulated by ACh
tissues innervated by PSNS: stimulated by ACh
adrenergic receptors
stimulated by norepi
a- and B- receptors on tissues (except sweat glands) innervated by SNS
Catecholamines
dopamine
norepinephrine
epinephrine
MAOI
sympathomimetic drugs: nonselective adrenoreceptor agonists
norepi
epinephrine
dobutamine
sympathomimetic
activate adrenergic receptors
adrenoreceptor
stimulated by epi or norepi
a1 selective agonist
work post-synaptic
a2 selective agonist
work on auto-receptor for negative feedback
sympatholytics
block activation of adrenergic receptors
a-agonist
a1 > a2»_space;» B
mixed a- and B agonists
Norepi - a1 = a2 - B1 >> B2 Epi - a1 = a2 - B1 = B2
a1 sympathomimietic effect vascular smooth muscle
contraction
a1 sympathomimetic effect pupillary dilator
contraction (dilates pupil)
