Smooth Muscle Prostaglandins Part 1 Flashcards
____________________ are chemical mediators found in most body tissues that regulate cell functions and promote the inflammatory response
prostaglandins
what are the 5 types of prostaglandins
- PGD2 2. PGE2 3. PGF2 4. PGI2 5. thromboxane A2
where is PGD2 located?
- airways 2. brain 3. mast cells
where is PGE2 located ?
- brain 2. kidneys 3. platelets 4. vascular smooth muscle
where is PGF2 located?
- airways 2. eyes 3. uterus 4. vascular smooth muscle
where is PGI2 located
- brain 2. endothelium 3. kidneys 4. platelets
where si thromboxane A2 located?
- kidneys 2. macrophages 3. platelets 4. vascular smooth muscle
effects of PGD2
bronchoconstriction
effects of PGE2
- bronchodilation 2. gastroprotection 3. increases activity of GI sm. muscle 4. increase sensitivity to pain 5. increase body temperature 6. vasodilation
effects of PGF2
- increases activity of GI smooth muscle 2. bronchoconstriction 3. increases uterine contraction
effects of PGI2
- decrease platelet aggregation 2. gastroprotection 3. vasodilation
effects of Thromboxane A2
- increase platelet aggregation 2. vasoconstriction
prostaglandin synthesis comes from the precursor ________________________
arachadonic acid
in prostaglandin synthesis, physiologic prostaglandins originate from _________________, and pathologic prostaglandins originate from ______________
COX-1; COX-2
which prostaglandin synthesis pathway plays a role in pain and inflammation, is inducible, and is only in circulation in response to a condition?
COX-2
MOA of NSAIDS (asprin, ibuprofen, and tylenol)
inhibit COX1 and COX2
NSAIDS (asprin, ibuprofen and tylenol) tx ____________________, but do not ___________________
sx; tx the underlying disorder
__________________ is a peripheral and central analgesic, but __________________ is only a peripheral analgesic
ASA; ibuprofen
uses of NSAIDs (asprin, ibuprofen, and tylenol)
- analgesic 2. antipyretic 3. anti-inflammatory
_______________ binds irreversibly to plt COX-1, and ____________ bind reversibly to plt COX-1
ASA; NSAIDs
