Smooth Muscle Histamine Flashcards
what are autacoids
biological factors which act like local hormones, have a brief duration and act near the site of synthesis
histamine is a(n) _____________________
autacoid
paracrine autacoid
effects are mostly localized but large amounts can be produced and moved into circulation
endocrine autacoid effect
may have systemic effect by being transported via circulation
endogenous peptides that cause vasoconstriction
- angiotensin 2. vasopressin 3. endothelins 4. neuropeptide Y 5. urotensin
endogenous peptides that cause vasodilation
- bradykinins/kinins 2. natriuretic peptides 3. vasoactive intestinal peptides 4. substance P 5. neurotensin 6. calcitonin gene related peptide 7. adrenomedullin
Fx/Activity of histamine
- allergic and inflammatory rxns 2. anaphylaxis 3. gastric acid secretion (H2) 4. neurotransmitter 5. neuromodulator 6. immune fx via chemotaxis of WBC
histamine is sequestered/bound in granules on _______________ & _____________ cells
basophils; mast
mast cell histamine is located in what tissues
- nose, mouth, feet 2. internal body surfaces 3. blood vessels at pressure points and bifurcations
non-mast cell histamine is found in which tissues
- brain 2. enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells
fx of non-mast cell histamine in the brain
- neuroendocrine control 2. CV regulation 3. thermal and body weight regulation 4. sleep and arousal
fx of non-mast cell histamine in the ECL cells of the fundus of the stomach
activates the acid producing parietal cells of the mucosa
release of histamine is mediated by _______________ via negative feedback in skin mast cells and basophils
H3
what types of histamine releasing cell is not mediated by H3 negative feedback
lung mast cells
_______________ release causes local vasodilation and release of inflammatory mediators (ex. CRP) and Antibodies
histamine
_______________ has a chemotactic attraction for inflammatory cells - neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes
histamine
__________________ inhibits the release of lysosome contents and several T&B lymphocytes
histamine
rexposure of antigen causes degranulation –> release of histamine and other mediators, this is a ____________________ allergic reaction common with hay fever and urticaria
type I
what defines chemical release of histamine
- non-injury related release of histamine 2. release is triggered by an amine or a drug (morphine)
all histamine receptors are what type of receptor?
G-protein coupled (metabotropic)
H1 is similar to what other receptor
muscarinic R
H2 is similar to what other receptor
5-HT R
H3 & H4 receptors are _______% similar to eachother
40
T/F: all histamine receptors have constitutive activity
TRUE
T/F: drugs that act on histamine R’s could be an agonist at 1 receptor and an antagonist or reverse antagonist at another
TRUE
H1 & H2 receptors are _________-synaptic
post
H3 receptors are ____________-synaptic
pre
H1 receptors are found in what tissues
- smooth muscle 2. endothelium 3. brain
H2 receptors are found in what tissues
- gastric mucosa 2. cardiac muscle 3. mast cells 4. brain
H3 receptors are found where
- brain 2. myenteric plexus 3. neurons 4. heteroreceptors 5. presynaptic autoreceptors
