A

Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT)

21
Q

What function do the Monoamine Oxidase (MAO)?

A

Oxidizes norepinephrine.

22
Q

Which G-protein linked second messenger receptor does vascular smooth muscle contraction (vasoconstriction)?

A

Alpha 1 sympathetic G-protein class q, Also it does mydriasis, and intestinal and bladder sphincter muscle contraction.

23
Q

Which is the choline cotransport?

A

Na, Sodium.

24
Q

What is the receptor that inhibit norepinephrine release and also inhibits norepinephrine-mediated vasoconstriction?

A

Alpha 2 receptor, G-protein class i

25
Q

Which of the receptors beta increase heart rate and myocardial contractility?

A

Beta 1 receptor G-protein class s, also increase renin release.

26
Q

Which of the beta receptors have their major functions in lung?

A

Beta 2 receptor G-protein class s, major functions: -vasodilation -bronchodilation -tocolysis(decrease uterine tone), -ciliary muscle relaxation.

27
Q

Where you can find the M1 and M2 receptors?

A

M1 G-protein class q = Enteric nervous system, “rest and digest”. M2 G-protein class i = decrease contractility and heart rate in the atria the SA node.

28
Q

Which is the receptor that increase bladder contraction, increase gut peristalsis, lacrimation or tearing?

A

M3 G-protein class q, also it making mitosis and bronchoconstriction.

29
Q

Major functions of D1 and D2 receptors:

A
D1 G-protein class s: relaxes renal vascular smooth muscle.
D2 G-protein class i: modulates transmitter release, especially in brain.
30
Q

What receptor is involved in the symptoms of the allergy?

A

H1 G-protein class q receptors also are responsible for pruritus and bronchoconstriction.

31
Q

Patient who has gastritis, which Histamine receptor is involved I the increase gastric acid secretion?

A

H2 receptor G-protein class s

32
Q

Vasopressin 1 and 2 functions:

A
V1 G-protein class q (increase vascular smooth muscle contraction).
V2 G-protein class s (increase reabsorption in collecting tubules of the kidney) v2 is found in the 2 kidneys.
