Q

describe the baroreceptor reflex

A

decrease in blood pressure detected by carotid sinus/aortic arch causes decrease in firing rate of afferents. cardiovascular center increases sym activity and decreases para causing an increase in heart rate and stroke volume

26
Q

what does the alpha 1 receptor cause

A
vasoconstriction
pupil dilation 
inibits uterine contraction in pregnancy 
ejaculation 
contraction of bladder neck and prostate
27
Q

what does the alpha 2 receptor cause

A

inhibits neurotransmitter release in presynaptic junction
inhibit insulin release
cardiac vasoconstriciton

28
Q

what does the beta 1 receptor do

A

increases heart rate, force of contraction and velocity of conduction in AV node

29
Q

what does the beta 2 receptor do

A

bronchial dilation
relax uterine muscle
vasodilation
glucose release

30
Q

what is an alpha 1 agonist

A

pseudophedrine

31
Q

what is an alpha antagonist

A

prazosin

32
Q

what is an alpha 2 agonist

A

clonidine

33
Q

what is a beta 1 agonist

A

isoproterenol

dobutamine

34
Q

what is a beta 1 antagonist

A

propanolol

35
Q

what is a beta 2 agonist

A

isoproterenol

terbutaline

36
Q

what is a beta 2 antagonist

A

propanolol

37
Q

define sympathomimetic

A

adrenergic agonists- stimulate sym receptors

38
Q

what is epinephrine used for

A

bronchospasm
anaphylactic shock
cardiac arrest
with anasthetic

39
Q

what is noepinephrine used to treat

A

shock

40
Q

what is pseudoephedrine used to treat

A

nasal congestion

41
Q

what are some examples of brain targeted non selective sympathomimetics how do they work

A

cocaine
amphetamines
ritalin
MDMA-ecstacy block reuptake of neurotransmitters

42
Q

what drugs are used to treat parkinsons

A

selegiline inhibits monoamine oxidase and levadopa is a dopamine precursor

43
Q

what are 2 types of antidepressants and example

A

monoamine oxidase inhibitor - phenelzine

tricyclic - amytriptyline

44
Q

what is the primary function of an alpha 1 agonist

A

vasoconstriction

45
Q

side effects of alpha 1 peripheral activation

A
sweat 
manic 
anxiety
paranoria
increased speed and thinking
weight loss
hyperglycemia
impotence
hypertension
46
Q

beta 2 agonists used for bronchial dilation that are short acting

A

albuterol -salbutamol and ventolin

47
Q

what is the beta 2 agonist used for bronchial dilation long actin

A

salmeterol

48
Q

which agonists are adrenergic antagonists

A

alpha 2 agonists

49
Q

what do anti-adrenergic drugs do

A

inhibit or block the effects of sym nerve stimulation

50
Q

an example of alpha 2 agonist and what does it do

A

clonidine

inhibits release of NE in CNS so lowers BP

51
Q

two drugs that are alpha 1 antagonists to decrease blood pressure

A

prazosin and doxasin

52
Q

drug that is an alpha 1 antagonist to treat prostatic hypertrophy and vasospastic problems

A

tamsulosin

53
Q

explain how both activation and inhibition is used to treat congestive heart failure

A

activate receptor subtype beta1 on heart to increase cardiac output and inhibit receptor subtype alpha 1 on peripheral vessels to decrease peripheral resistance

54
Q

what are side effects of blocking alpha 1 receptors

A
orthostatic hypertension(head rush) early on
vertigo 
sexual dysfunction 
reflec tachycardia 
floppy iris syndrome
55
Q

what is a first generation beta blocker

A

non selective- can be beta 1 or 2

56
Q

what are second generation beta blockers

A

selective for beta 1

57
Q

what are third generation beta blockers

A

partially selective with alpha 1 inhibition

58
Q

whu shouldnt you use propranolol in patients with asthma

A

non selective so will block beta 2 receptors and cause bronchospasm

reduced oxygen demands

60
Q

what drug is used for glaocoma

labetalol

so reduces Bp without large effect on HR
