Q

atropine actions on the CVS

A

tachycardia (due to blockade of Ach M2 receptors on SA node, also facilitates AV conduction, NO marked effect on BP, dialate blood vessels in facial blush area (atropine flush) that is not related to the antagonistic action (due to hyperthermia with resulting vasodialation)

12
Q

atropine induces mydriasis by

A

blocking the parasympathetic tone to the iris circular muscle – unopposed sympathetic timulation of the radial muscle results in dialation of the pupil

Q

atropine induced cycloplegia is

A

paralysis of accomodation due to blockage of M3 receptors on ciliary muscle - cannot focus near giving rise to blurring vision

Q

Atropine actions on Smooth muscles

A

relaxation of SM leading to – GIT peristalsis inhibition/constipation, Bronchus dialation, urinary bladder retention due to relaxation of bladder and constriction of sphincter and trigone

26

27
Q

atropine can casue body temperature to

28
Q

atropine on CNS

A

minimal CNS stimulant action in usual doses but high doses cause –restlessness, excitement, hallucinations, disorientation, inhibits vestibular disturbances (esp in motion sickness)
