Test 2 part II Flashcards
Adrenergic Receptors respond to _____
Catecholamines (Norepi, Epi, or Dopa)
What are your nonadrenergic noncholinergic receptors?
Autonomic Effector Tissues that contain fibers that are neither cholinergic nor adrenergic.
Ex: ENS
What are the roles of acetylcholine?
- Primary NT at ANS ganglia, Somatic NMJ, and at PNS postganglionic nerve endings
- Primary excitatory NT to smooth muscle and secretory cells in the ENS
- Major neuron-to-neuron (ganglionic) NT in the ENS
What are the roles of Dopamine?
- A modulatory transmitter in some ganglia of ENS
- Probably a postganglionic sympathetic transmitter in renal vessels
What are the roles of GABA (y-aminobutyric acid)?
- May have presynaptic effects on ENS nerve terminals
- Has some relaxant effect on the gut
- NOT a major transmitter in the ENS
What is the role of Norepinephrine?
- Primary neurotransmitter at most sympathetic postganglionic nerve endings
What is the role of Serotonin?
- Important NT or cotransmitter at excitatory neuron-to-neuron junctions in the ENS
Parasympathetic nervous system causes what effects in the body?
- Constricts Pupil
- Stimulates salivation
- Inhibits Heart
- Constricts Bronchi
- Stimulates digestive activity
- Stimulates gall bladder
- Contracts bladder
- Relaxes Rectum
Sympathetic Nervous System causes what effects in the body?
- Dilates Pupil
- Inhibits Salivation
- Relaxes Bronchi
- Accelerates Heart
- Inhibits digestive activity
- Stimulates glucose release by the Liver
- Secretion of Epi and NE from Kidney
- Relaxes bladder
- Contracts Rectum
Inhibition of the heart is done by the _____ receptor of the ____ NS?
M2; parasympathetic
All physiologic responses of the body (periphery) to parasympathetic nervous system stimulation (except for cardiac) are via the _____ receptor.
M3
What is the typical locations of M1 cholinoreceptors?
- CNS neurons

What is the result of ligand binding (i.e. stimulation) of the M2 cholinoreceptor?
- Opening of Potassium Channels
- Inhibition of Adenylyl Cyclase
What are the typical locations of the M3 cholinoreceptor?
- Exocrine glands
- Vessels (Smooth muscle [airway] & endothelium)
- CNS neurons
- Salivary Glands
What is the result of ligand binding (i.e. stimulation) of the M3 cholinoreceptor?
- Increase salivation
- Bronchoconstriction
- Vasodilation
- Formation of IP3 and DAG
- Increased Intracellular Ca
- Increased Hydrogen Secretion
What are the typical locations of the Neural (Nn) nicotinic cholinoreceptor?
- Post ganglionic Neurons
- Some presynaptic cholinergic terminals
Neural Nicotinic receptors (Nn) typically contain two _____ and one ______ type subunits, in addition to ____ and ____ subunits.
Alpha 3; Beta 4; Gamma; Delta
What is the result of ligand binding (i.e. stimulation) of nicotinic cholinoreceptors (either Nn or Nm)?
Opening of Na & K channels and depolarization
