Pharm Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
nAChR: locations, function, agonists
ionotropic
CNS, autonomic ganglia, and adrenal medulla
excitatory and release of catecholamines
mAChR: locations, function, agonists
metabotropic
excitatory and inhibitory
CNS, autonomic ganglia effector organs (cardiac and smooth muscle, gland cells, nerve terminals)
SWEAT glands
what kind of receptors are on sweat glands, what NT causes secretion, and what division of the ANS controls it?
muscuranic receptors
ACH
sympathetic
Renal vascular smooth muscle responds to
D? ?????? that’s all there is on the slide
what kind of receptor is on the adrenal medulla?
N(n)
M(1)
CNS, Ganglia
GPCR, Gq/11
Activation of phospholipase C (PLC); IP3, DAG cascade
M(2)
heart, nerves, smooth muscle
Gi/O
inhibition of adenylyl cyclase (AC) , decrease in cAMP production, activation of K channels
M(3)
glands, smooth muscle, endothelium
Gq/11
activation of PLC, IP3, DAG cascade
M(4)
CNS
Gi/0
inhibition of AC, decrease in cAMP production, activation of K channels
M(5)
CNS
Gq/11
activation of PLC, IP3, DAG cascade
Catecholamine synthesis
rxns occurring in cytoplasm
tyrosine –> Dopa –> dopamine
Catecholamine synthesis
rxns in the vesicle,
Dopamine —> norepinephrine –> epinephrine
Catecholamine synthesis
rxns occurring in the adrenal medulla
nor –> ep
how does tyrosine get into the nerve terminal?
via Na+ dependent tyrosine transporter
VMAT-2
transports NE, Epi, DA, and serotonin into vesicles, released upon AP with Ca influx
