Q

opioid receptor subtypes

A

mu
kappa

mu > kappa efficacy

17
Q

opioid receptor agonists

A

overall decreased neuronal excitability

  1. analgesia
  2. species dependent CNS effects
  3. hypoventilation
  4. decreased peristalsis (constipation)
18
Q

species dependent CNS effects of opioid agonists

A

sedation: dogs, primates, rodents
euphoria: cats (low dose)
excitement: cats, horses (high dose)

19
Q

morphine

A

mu and kapp opioid receptor agonist
central and peripheral effects

20
Q

effects of morphine

A
  1. analgesia
  2. sedation
  3. hypoventilation
  4. decreased GI motility
21
Q

GABAa receptor structure

A

2 a subunits
2 b subunits
+/- y subunit (benzodiazepines)

ionotropic:
forms a central Cl pore

22
Q

GABAa function

A

inhibitory receptor
hyper polarizes the cell to decrease cell excitability

23
Q

benzodiazepine sensitive GABA receptors

A

contains a, B, and y subunits

benzodiazepine binds to a DIFFERENT site than GABA

24
Q

anesthetic sensitive GABA receptors

A

contains a and B subunits

anesthetics bind to SAME site as GABA
may have y subunit for benzodiazepine to bind

25
Q

GABAa agonists

A

inhibits RAS to inhibit arousal

  1. species dependent effects
  2. amnesia
  3. anticonvulsant
  4. muscle relaxation
  5. anesthesia
  6. decreased respiratory drive, ventilation, and altered breathing pattern
26
Q

species dependent GABAa agonist effects

A

sedation: sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, primates
excitement: dogs, cats, horses

27
Q

midazolam

A

benzodiazepine (GABA agonist)
central and peripheral effects

28
Q

effects of midazolam

A
  1. sedation/excitation (spp.)
  2. amnesia
  3. anticonvulsant
  4. muscle relaxation
29
Q

propofol

A

anesthetic GABA agonist
central and peripheral effects

30
Q

effects of propofol

A
  1. sedation (low dose)
  2. anesthesia (high dose)
  3. amnesia
  4. anticonvulsant
  5. muscle relaxation
  6. hypoventilation
31
Q

NMDA receptors

A

ionotropic:
forms a central cation pore

inhibited by Mg blocking pore

32
Q

function of NMDA receptors

A

excitatory receptor
depolarizes the cell to increase cell excitability
important in hippocampus for long term memory

33
Q

NMDA antagonists

A
  1. amnesia
  2. hallucinations
  3. dissociative anesthesia
  4. increased muscle tone/rigidity
  5. decreased spontaneous movement
  6. analgesia

central and peripheral effects

35
Q

effects of ketamine

A
  1. amnesia
  2. increased muscle tone/rigidity
  3. decreased spontaneous movement
  4. hallucinations
  5. dissociative anesthesia
  6. analgesia
