Test 1: lecture 10-13 Flashcards
flight or fight is —
sympathetic
rest and digest is —
parasympathetic
sympathetic has — preganglionic nerves and — post ganglionic nerves
short
long
sympathetic= flight or fight
parasympathetic has — preganglionic nerves and — post ganglionic nerves
long
short
parasympathetic= rest and digest
— come from cranial and sacral
parasympathic
(rest and digest)
— comes from thorasic and lumbar
sympathetic = flight and fight
— is dilated pupil
mydriasis
happens with SYM
— is constrict pupils
miosis
adrenergic can also be called
SYMP
epi
adrenaline
norepinephrine
neoadrenaline
catecholamine
cholinergic responses are also called
PARA
acetylcholine (ACh)
what type of nerves release ACh
all PARA
all somatic
all preganglionic SYMP
only SYMP to sweat glands
what type of sympathetic neuron releases ACh
all preganglinic neurons
but only post ganglionic are the nerves to sweat glands
all other symp release NE after post ganglion
what kind of neurotransmitter does PARA release
ACh at pre and post
unlike symp which release ACh at pre and NE at post, exception is sweat glands where ACh released at both
epinephrine is the same as —
adrenaline
catecholamines
— is the starting chemical for catecholamines
L-tyrosine
how to get from L-tyrosine to epi
what is the rate timing step in the synthesis of epi?
tyrosine hydroxylase
enzyme that takes L-tyrosine and turns it into dopa
— acts as negative feed back inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase
norepinephrine (NE)
tyrosine hydroxylase and DOPA decarboxylase are both found in the cytoplasm
dopamine gets into vesicle by VMAT(vesicular monoamine transporter)
dopamine β hydroxylase is found inside the vesicle
where does dopamine turn into NE in neuron
dopamine gets into vesicle by VMAT(vesicular monoamine transporter)
then interacts with dopamine β hydroxylase to form NE
EPI is made in — cells in the adrenal medulla
chromaffin cells
how does EPI form in adrenal gland
inside chromaffin cell
Tyrosine( tyrosine hydroxylase)→DOPA
DOPA(DOPA decarboxylase)→ Dopamine
dopamine moves through VMAT into vesicle
dopamine (dopamineβ hydroxylase) → NE
NE leaks out of vesicle
NE (PNMT) →epi
epi moves through VMAT back into vesicle
vesicle released= will be full of EPI and small amounts of NE
PNMT
Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase
NE(PNMT) → EPI
happens in cytoplasm of chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla
chromaffin cell vesicles contain
80% epi and 20% NE
(some of the NE do not move back out of vesicle and get released at the same time)
NE and EPI released by acetylcholine (ACh)-mediated —
Ca2+-dependent exocytosis
from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla
where is PNMT found
found in chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla
not found in nerve terminals- nerves can’t make EPI, only get to NE stage
No active reuptake of — into adrenal gland …. unlike in — reuptake in neurons
EPI
NE
why does the adrenal gland act as a modified sympathetic ganglion
preganglionic releases ACh
but chromaffin cell releases NE and EPI directly into blood supply
no post ganglion
Stimulation of preganglionic fibers release ACh directly onto chromaffin cells which then release — directly into the blood stream
EPI/NE
what happens to NE released into post synaptic cleft
can bind to postsynaptic receptor on other nerve
can bind to ⍺2 presynaptic autoreceptor: cause negative feedback
can be pulled through plasma membrane transporters back into synapse
from there NE can either move through VMAT back into vesicles or it can be broken down by MAO (monoamine oxidase)
any left over NE in the terminal will get eaten by COMT
NE in the cytoplasm of 1st nerve can
move through VMAT back into vesicle
can be broken down by MAO (monoamine oxidase)
— is a receptor on the presynaptic membrane side that pulls NE back into cytoplasm of 1st nerve
plasma membrane transporter
two ways catecholamines are metabolized
MAO (monoamine oxidase)
* degrades cytoplasmic NE
* MAO found in outer member of mitochondria
COMT (Catechol-o-methyl transferase)
* found in synaptic cleft and liver
* will break catecholamines (EPI, NE) into metabolites that are then excreted in the urine
how does Gprotein cycle work
how to measure drug affinity
saturation binding isotherm
Kd= concentration of drug that fills 50% of the receptors
lower the Kd= higher affinity
The lower the Kd the — the ligand affinity
higher
Described by the agonists intrinsic activity (IA) which is the maximal amount of system stimulation achievable in the presence of saturating concentrations of the agonist
efficacy
Described by the EC50: the concentration of drug that results in 50% of its maximal stimulation
potency
which one is more potent?
what is the ranked order
A is more potent (takes less A to get to 50% activation)
rank order: A>B
EC50 of A= 0.01 nM
EC50 of B= 1 nM
smaller the EC50 the more potent the agonist
what is the intrinsic activity (IA) of each line and what does it mean
this is comparing potency and efficacy of different agonists
both A and B get to top= 100%= IA=1 full agonist (all the receptors are bound and working at full capacity)
C does not make it to the top, IA= 0.6= partial agonist
A and B are more efficacious than C (intrinsic activity is 1 for A+B, less then 1 for C)
A and B are also more potent then C (EC50 is smaller= more potent, takes less drug to get to 50% total)
A and B are more — than C
potent (EC50 smaller= increased binding)
efficacious (shorter= 0-1 → IA higher, agonist at max saturation has reached max stimulation)
rank order of catacholamines for ⍺ receptors
EPI ≥ NE > DA ⫸ ISO
rank order for β adrenergic receptors
what type of adrenergic receptors in the heart?
there are only β
increase HR, increased conduction velocity and decreased refractory period and increased contracility are all by β1 receptors
