Q

Gq pathway

A

Alpha (GDP) subunit dissociates GDP -> GTP
Activates phospholipase C
converts PIP into IP3 and DAG
IP3 increase Ca2+ release (SER) which activates protein kinase
DAG increase protein kinase C
Both phosphorylate stuff

A

Decrease norepinephrine release from presynaptic nerve terminals

Decrease insulin release from pancreatic ß cells

Platelet aggregation

decrease lipolysis

Vascular smooth muscle contraction

19
Q

Beta 1 receptors cause

A

Increase HR and contractility

Increase renin release

Increase lipolysis

20
Q

Beta 2 receptors cause

A

Bronchial dilation

Skeletal muscles BV dilation

Gi

24
Q

Beta 1 is G__

A

Gs

25
Q

Beta 2 is G__

A

Gs

26
Q

Beta 3 is G__

A

Gs

27
Q

Low concentrations of epi cause

A

Vasodilation at B2 receptors

B2 more sensitive

28
Q

High concentrations of epi cause

A

Vasoconstriction

A1 and B2 active, but A1 predominates

29
Q

Large dose of Epi given via IV causes

A

Increased BP:

Increased HR and ventricular contraction via B1

Vasoconstriction via A1

30
Q

Low dose of Epi given via IV causes

A

Diastolic BP drop via B2 (decrease peripheral resistance)

Systolic pressure increases via B1 (increased cardiac contractility)

Increase HR (B1)

31
Q

A small dose of Ach causes

A

decreases BP via M3 vasodilation effect w/ accompanied tachycardia (baroreceptor reflex wins)

32
Q

A large dose of Ach

A

decrease BP via M3 vasodilation effect w/ bradycardia
