Pharm Exam II Flashcards
The two principle components of the ANS are what?
The Parasympathetic Nervous System
and
the Sympathetic Nervous Sytem
True or false: primary diseases of the ANS are common
False
Most visceral organs are innervated by which division of the ANS?
By both, but they produce opposite effects in the same structure
Decreased heart rate is an example of stimulation by what division of the ANS?
parasympathetic
increased heart rate is an example of the stimulation by what division of the ANS?
Sympathetic
True or False: Both para and sympathetic system have preganglionic and post ganglionic neurons (post ganglion innervates organs and is also called the neuroeffector junction)
True
The neuroeffector junction is another name for what component of both PSNS and SNS systems?
Post ganglionic neuron
ACh is the neurotransmitter where and for what systems?
At all ganglia and at most parasympathetic neuroeffectors
In addition to ACh, some tissues have this neurotransmitter at the parasympathetic neuroeffector junction
nitric oxide - genitalia erectile tissue
This is the neurotransmitter at most sympathetic neuroeffector junctions
Nor/epinephrine
This is the neurotransmitter in erectile tissue of genitalia, an dit is part of which nervous system?
nitric oxide - parasympathetic
This is the NT for sweat glands in humans and it is part of what nervous system?
ACh (sympathetic nervous system)
In addition to Nor/epinephrine, the NT at a few junctions of the sympathetic nervous system is what?
ACh
The receptors are activated by ACh
cholinergic receptors
cholinergic receptors can be divided into what two receptor types?
nicotinic and muscarinic
These cholinergic receptors are present postsynaptically at all ganglionic synapses and at the neruomuscular junction
nicotinic
These cholinergic receptors are situated at the neruoeffection junction of parasympathetic nerves
muscarinic
These receptors are activated by nor/epinephrine
adrenergic
adrenergic receptors are activated by what?
nor/epinephrine
name the divisions of adrenergic receptors
alpha 1, 2
beta 1, 2, 3 (and more)
histamine, serotonin, nitric oxide, vasointestinal peptide, and cyclic nucleotides are all examples of what?
Other neurotransmitters, etc that contribute to the transformation of information in the ANS
besides ACh and Nor/epinephrine what other things contribute to the transmission of information in the ANS? give examples
other neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and neuromodulators
histamine, serotonin, nitric oxide, vasointestinal peptide, cyclic nucleotides etc
The main supraspinal site of modulation for both para and sympathetic systems is what?
the hypothalamus
Cross the blood brain barrier
carbonamides organophosphates propanolol ephedrine phystostigmine scolopamine atropine
PSNS direct acting mimetics
bethanochol
pilocarpine
PSNS indirect/reversible mimetics
neostigmine
edophonium
pysostigmine
PSNS indirect acting/irreversible mimetics
echothipate and diisopropyl flurorophosphate
PSNS direct acting lytics
atropine glycopyrralate scopolamine aminopentamide oxybutynin/propantheline
