Q

Sympathetic length of preganglionic nerves vs parasympathetic

A

Sympathetic nerves are short pre ganglionic and long post ganglion - pretty much all turn on at once

parasympathetic ganglionic have longer preganglionic neurons -> more selectivity

Q

Why choniergic excess not the same as parasympathetic activation?

A

organophosphate poisoning-

Have some nicotinic receptors at the neuromuscular junction that are activated and not parasympathetic

Also have sweat glands w/ muscarinic receptors that are sympathetic innervated

65
Q

Km =

related to?

affected by?

A

amount of substrate needed for 1/2 Vmax

inversely related to affinity. higher affinity -> smaller Km

affected by competitive inhibition

66
Q

Vmax

related to?

Affected by?

A

the maximum rate at which a reaction proceeds

directly relates to enzyme concentration

  • affected by noncompetitive inhibiors
67
Q

Linewaver burk plot

x- axis

Y axis

Slope

A

x axis = 1/-km

y axis = 1/vmax

slope =Km/Vmax

68
Q

Role of Noncompetative inhibitor on

Vmax

Km

As seen on lineweaver

A

Vmax decreases - seen as a higher y intercept

Km does not change - seen at the same point

69
Q

Role of competitive inhibitor on

V max
Km

As seen on lineweaver

A

V max does not change - hits the same y axis

Km increases ( need more substrate to get 1/2 Vmax)

-seen as a x intercept closer to zero

70
Q

Adding an enzyme affects the line weaver plot how?

A

The 1/-Km (x axis does not change)

The y axis (1/Vmax) drops down closer to zero

71
Q

Increasing the affinity of a drug affects the line weaver plot how?

A

The (1/Vmax, y axis, does not change) no added enzyme

The x axis( 1/-Km) shifts to the left,
Higher affinity means a smaller Km

-vs an x axis shift to the right (closer to 0) means more substrate is needed due to lesser affinity (same as giving a competitive inhibitor)

72
Q

drug is infused how long to reach steady state?

A

4-5 half lives to 94% Concentration

73
Q

How would you drop a dose by half if toxic levels seen in a patient?

A

Stop the infusion for one half life

74
Q

Kidney trouble will affect which loading dose and maintenance dose how if renal cleared?

A

No change on loading dose

Decreases maintenance dose

75
Q

efficacy of a drug is?

what can drop efficacy? (2)

A

the MAX EFFECT a drug can produce, related to Vmax. NEED to know max response of a drug to determine efficacy

76
Q

potency of a drug is?

what can drop the potency

A

the DOSE of a drug needed to achieve a given effect, inversely related to Km

competetative inhibitors can decrease potency - shift the curve to the right

Partial agonists can have variable effects on potency while always dropping the efficacy
