Pharm Flashcards
What are components of Enteric Nervous system, their location, and Fx?
Myenteric / Auerbach’s plexus- between longitudinal and Circular muscle. Fx: Controls motility of SM
Submucosal/Meissner’s plexus- deep to muscularis mucosa. Controls secretion and flow rate.
Lcoation of PANS & SANS central roots of origin
Preganglionic fibers originate
PANS: Cranial nerve nuclei 3, 7, 9, 10 in sacral segments (S2-S4)
SANS: Thoracicolumbar
ACh is primary transmitter in what parts of ANS?
- All ANS ganglia (where Pre and Postsynaptic meet)
- PANS: Postganglionic neurons & effector tissues
- SANS sweat glands
- SANS Adrenal medulla
Not ANS: somatic; skeletal muscle
Major Fx of α1 receptor
↑vascular SM contraction ↑pupillary dilator (radial)muscle contraction = Mydriasis ↑intestinal and bladder contraction Apocrine sweat (stress) glands Pilomotor muscles Ejaculation
Major Fx of α2 receptor
↓sympathetic outflow ↓insulin release (beta cells of pancreatic islets) ↓lipolysis ↑PLT aggregation ↑GI secretion
Some presynaptic terminals, pancreatic islets
(beta cells), platelets, ciliary epithelium, smooth
muscle, CNS neurons.
Major function of Beta1 receptor?
↑HR (SA node, ectopic pacemaker)
↑contractility
↑renin release
↑lipolysis
Myocardium, JG cells, some
presynaptic terminals, adipocytes, CNS neurons.
Major Fx of Beta2 receptors?
Vasodilation Bronchodilation ↑HR ↑Contractility ↑Lipolysis ↑Insulin ↓uterine tone Ciliary muscle relaxation ↑Aqueous humor production
Describe receptors for ACh
Nicotinic: Na/K ligand gated
Nn- autonomic ganglia
Nm- NMJ
Muscarinic- Gprotein coupled, 2nd messenger action
M1,2,3,4,5
What part of SANS has cholinergic innervation?
Sweat glands
Adrenal medulla
Fx of M1 receptors?
CNS & ENS
Fx of M2 receptors?
↓HR
↓atrial contractility & nodal activity
Fx of M3 receptors
↑exocrine gland secretion(lacrimal, gastric)
↑GI peristalsis
↑bladder contraction
↑bronchoconstriction
↑pupillary spinchter contraction = Miosis
Ciliary muscle contraction = accommodation (see closer; lens thickens)
SM, exocrine glands, vascular
endothelium, CNS neurons.
Fx of D1 & D2 receptors?
D1: relaxes Renal SM vasculature
D2: modulates transmitter release, mostly Brain
Fx of H2 receptor?
↑stomach acid release (parietal cells)
Fx of H1 receptors?
↑nasal and bronchial mucus production
↑bronchiole contraction
Pruiritis and pain
