Q

Agonist vs Antagonist

A

AGONISTS:
- Activate the RECEPTOR to Signal as a Direct result of Binding to it

  • Some AGONISTS activate a Receptor to produce all of the Receptor’s BIOLOGIC FUNCTIONS
  • Some agonists selectively promote ONE Receptor FUNCTION more than another

ANTAGONISTS:
- Bind to receptors but DO NOT ACTIVATE generation of a Signal

  • Interfere with the ABILITY of an AGONISt to ACTIVATE the RECEPTOR
  • Some Agonists SUPPRESS the basal signaling of RECEPTORS that are constitutively ACTIVE

Q

Termination of Catecholamine Signaling

A

1) Reuptake into Nerve Terminals:
- Major Mechanism that terminates the ACTIONS of Catecholamines

  • NET (Norepinephrine Transporter) and DAT (Dopamine Transporter)
  • After REUPTAKE, Catecholamines are STORED in Vesicles by the VMAT-2

2) Metabolism of Catecholamines (2 Main Enzymes)
A) MONOAMINE OXIDASE (MAO)

B) CATECHOL-O- METHYLTRANSFERASE (COMT)

***In contrast to Cholinergic signaling, termination of Catecholamine action by Degradative enzymes (Ex: AChE) is nonexistent in Adrenergic Signaling

*****VMA is a marker for a specific type of tumor an Individual can get

***COMT and MAO help create the VMA!!!

30
Q

Response of Blood Vessels to Autonomic Nerve Impulses

A
  • Blood Vessels are INNERVATED by ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS, which cause Vessel Constriction when ACTIVATED (SYMPATHETIC)
  • Smooth Muscle of Blood Vessels is NOT INNERVATED by PARASYMPATHETIC Neurons
  • neither mAChRs nor nAChRs are found on SMOOTH MUSCLE of Blood Vessels
  • Blood Vessels RELAX in response to PARASYMPATHETIC RELEASE of ACh as long as the Epithelium is INTACT!!!!
31
Q

A
  • Ischemia causes INVERSION of T WAVE due to ALTERED DEPOLARIZATION
  • Muscle injury causes ELEVATION of ST Segment
  • Death (INFARCTION) of muscle causes Q or QS Waves due to absence of DEPOLARIZATION current from DEAD TISSUE and opposing currents from other parts of the Heart
  • During RECOVERY (Subacute and Chronic stages) ST Segment often is first to return to Normal, then T Wave, due to disappearance of ZONES of Injury and Ischemia
