Nervous System Flashcards
What are the two receptors of Sympathetic Nervous System?
- Alpha receptors
- Beta receptors
What are the two receptors of the Parasympathetic Nervous System?
- Muscarinic receptors
- Nicotinic receptors
What are the four types of Nervous System drugs?
- Adrenergic Agonist
- Adrenergic Antagonists
- Cholinergic Drugs
- Anticholinergic Agent
This is known as the other name for Adrenergic Agonist. This mimics or modifies the actions of SNS.
Sympathomimetic
This is the other name for Adrenergic Antagonists. This opposes the actions of the SNS and blocks adrenergic receptors. Antiadrenergic Drugs.
Sympatholytic
This is the other name for Cholinergic Agents. Its actions resemble acetylcholine.
Parasympathomimetic
This is the other name for Anticholinergic Agent. It inhibits actions of the acetylcholine.
Parasympatholytic
What hormones are associated with SNS?
Adrenaline (Epinephrine, Norepinephrine)
What hormones are associated with PNS?
Acetylcholine
What muscles do acetylcholine affect?
skeletal mucles and neuromuscles
What does Adrenaline affect?
Lungs, heart, and smooth muscles
What affects the following?
- a1
- a2
- b1
- b2
- smooth muscle glands
- smooth muscle glands
- heart
- lungs
What are the usual indications of Cholinergic Agonists?
Myasthenia Gravis
Alzheimer’s Disease
Give atleast five (5) autonomic responses of the sympathetic nervous system.
- Dilates pupil
- Relaxes bronchi, increases heart rate
- Inhibits salivation
- Stimulates epinephrine and norepinephrine release
- Orgasm, ejaculation, contracts rectum
Give atleast five (5) autonomic responses of the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Constricts pupil
- Constricts bronchi, decreases heart rate
- Stimulate salivation
- Inhibition of adrenaline release
- Stimulates gallbladder
