21
Q

Bronchodilation, some vasodilation from this receptor

A

Beta 2

22
Q

All preganglionic neurons release which NT

A

Ach

23
Q

postganglionic sympathetic neurons release

A

NE

24
Q

Overactivation of muscarinic receptors (mnemonic)

A

DUMBELSS (more parasympathetic activation)

Diarrhea, urination, miosis (pupil constriction), bradycardia, emesis, lacrimation, salivation, sweating

25
Q

more sympathetic tone/ innervation

A

blood vessels

26
Q

more parasympathetic tone/innervation

A

gut

27
Q

sympathetic innervation

A

sweat glands

28
Q

hexamethonium blocks N2 receptors what does this do to blood pressure?

A

drops blood pressure; vessels are under sympathetic innervation

29
Q

Examples of autonomic reflex in gut

A

vago vagal reflex in response to gastric distension

30
Q

Describe how baroreceptor reflex works

A
  1. ) when bp is high, reflex reduces HR and BP

2. ) when bp is low, reflex raises HR and BP

31
Q

parasympathetic reflex of the ANS to lower heart rate during heart damage

A

coronary chemoreflex

32
Q

stimulation of cardiac vagal afferents by inflammatory substances lead to ____

A

stimulation of AP’s and drop in HR and drop in BP

33
Q

What are some way to therapeutically manipulate the ANS?

A
  1. ) receptor agonists/antagonists
  2. ) block of breakdown of NT
  3. ) packaging of NT
34
Q

agonists for Epi/NE system receptors

A
  1. ) epinephrine
  2. ) norepinephrine
  3. ) phenylephrine
  4. ) albuterol
35
Q

beta 2 receptor agonist

A

albuterol

36
Q

alpha 1 receptor agonist

A

A

monoamine oxidase

catecholomethyl transferase

42
Q

What would treatment with reserpine do to BP ?

A

lowers BP
