Ach

22
Q

postgang neurotransmitter in adrenal medulla

A

epinephrine

23
Q

postgang neurotransmitter in renal vasculature

A

dopamine

24
Q

cholinoceptors

A

ach receptors
nicotinic and muscarinic

25
Q

adrenoceptors

A

norepinephrine receptors
alpha and beta

26
Q

what eye muscle is constricted by the activation of the SNS

A

radial muscle

27
Q

what eye muscle is constricted by the activation of the PNS

A

circular muscle

28
Q

miosis

A

pupillary constriction

29
Q

mydriasis

A

pupillary dilation

30
Q

what can cause miosis

A

Cholinergics
Opiates
Phenothiazines (antipsychotics)
Sedative - hypnotics

31
Q

what can cause mydriasis

A

Sympathomimetics
Anticholinergics
Withdrawal

32
Q

how do the ANS systems work together to decrease intraocular pressure - Cillary muscle

A

Cillary muscle (Ach-M agonist) - contraction opens trabecular meshwork and facilitates outflow of aqueous humor

33
Q

how do the ANS systems work together to decrease intraocular pressure - Cillary body

A

NE - alpha Agonist - inhibits secretion and increase outflow of aqueous humor

34
Q

how do the ANS systems work together to decrease intraocular pressure - Cillary epithelium

A

Block with NE-Beta Antagonist- blocks secretion of aqueous humor

35
Q

how do the ANS systems work together to decrease intraocular pressure - prostaglandins

A

increase outflow of aqueous humor

36
Q

SNS effect on blood vessels

A

usually vasoconstriction

37
Q

SNS activation on heart

A

+ chronotropic ( HR), + inotropic (force of contraction), + dromotropic (faster conduction through AV node)

38
Q

what are causes of ED

A

hormonal abnormalities, medications, psychological problems, neurologic disease, vascular insufficiency

39
Q

release of what plays a central role in erectile function

A

nitric oxide (NO)

40
Q

What is nitric oxide

A

gaseous neurotransmitter synthesized and immeditely diffuses, easily crossing membranes to enter neurons or other types of cells and alter signaling pathways

41
Q

what happens to autonomic responses in presence of adrenergic or cholinergic antagonism

A

undiminished

42
Q

where is NO produced

A

in endothelial cells by Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS)

43
Q

where is the location of adenosine or purinergic transmission

A

GI tract, GU tract, certain blood vessels to induce vasodilation

44
Q

drugs that reduce BP can cause

A

reflex tachycardia

45
Q

drugs that increase BP can cause

A

reflex bradycardia

46
Q

what does a drop in BP cause

A

sensed by baroreceptors, activates SNS pregang neuron in medullary control center, inhibits PNS pregang neuron in medullary control center

47
Q

BP =

A

Peripheral Resistance (vasoconstriction/dilation) x CO (HR)

48
Q

Sildenafil (Viagra) clinical use

A

first-line therapy for ED, PAH

49
Q

Sildenafil (Viagra) action

A

PDE-5 inhibitors leading to increased intracavernosal cGMP, SM relaxation, vasodilation, and erection

50
Q

Sildenafil (Viagra) problems

A

contraindicated with nitrates because combination can lead to severe hypertension and sycope
visual disturbances due to weak inhibition of PDE-6 (involved in photoreceptor signal transduction)

51
Q

Sildenafil (Viagra) catuion

A

alpha adrenergic antagonists (can cause sym hypotension)
CYP3A4 inhibitors can pro-long half life and reduce effectiveness
