Nervous System Flashcards
2 types of cholinergic receptors
Nicotinic and muscarinic
Nicotinic receptors are _________ linked
Ion channel linked
- ligand gated Na/K channels
Muscarinic receptors are _______ linked
G protein
Types of nicotinic receptors
Muscle type (Nm) Neuronal type (Nn)
Nm receptors are present in ____ and cause _____
Skeletal muscle (NMJ)
muscle contractions
Nn receptors are present in ____ and cause _____
Adrenal medulla - chromaffin cells to release catecholamines
Brain- needed for neuronal development, learning, and memory
Autonomic ganglia- Postganglionic neuron activation
(Parasympathetic and sympathetic)
Types of muscarinic receptors
M1
M2
M3
M1 is G___
Gq
M2 is G___
Gi
M3 is G___
Gq
M1 receptors cause
Enteric (GI) nervous system stimulation
M2 receptors cause
Inhibition of Ach release at presynaptic nerve terminals
Decrease heart rate and contractility
M3 receptors cause
Increase exocrine gland secretions (lacrimal, sweat, salivary, gastric acid)
Increase insulin release from Pancreatic ß cells
Increase gut peristalsis (GI smooth muscle)
Increase bladder contraction (smooth muscle)
Pupillary constriction (Pupillary sphincter and ciliary muscle)
Bronchial constriction (smooth muscle)
Gs pathway
Alpha (GDP) subunit dissociates after GDP -> GTP Activates adenlyl cyclase Takes ATP and convert it into cAMP Increase protein kinase A Phosphorylates stuff
Gq pathway
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
