the nervous system, drugs affecting the ANS Flashcards
what is the somatic nervous system responsible for
voluntary movement
what is the autonomic nervous system
all involuntary responses
- divided into the para sympathetic and sympathetic
what receptors are associated with the parasympathetic
cholingergic muscarinic receptors
what receptors are associated with sympathetic autnomic?
adrenergic NE, alpha, beta variety
what are nicotinic cholinergic receptors
they are ligand gated channels
what induces the opening of sodium ion channels, thus depolarizing the neuron
acetylcholine
what does the depolarization of a neuron result in?
stimulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
true or false, most organs recieve input from both parasympathetic and sympathetic - if yes, are there any organs that only recieve input from one?
true, the only exception is the arterioles, which only get sympathetic input
what only gets sympathetic input
arterioles
true or false, one input, parasympathetic or sympathetic, will be dominant over the other
true
what is the impact of nicotinic cholinergic receptor antatagonists
impact is greatest on the predominant input from the as, increasing the biological effects of the weaker input
with the heart, what input predominates
parasympathetic, will slow the intrinsic rhythm
what do nicotonic cholinergic receptors work to inhibit
work to ihibit the smaller sympathetic input ad the predominant parasympathetic innput
what is a cardiovascular input is a result of nicotinic cholinergic receptor antagonists
tachycardia, parasympathetic input ihibited more
how to cholinergic drugs work, what do they stimulate
they are muscariic agonists, they work to stimulate smooth muscle ad gland secretions
what works to stimulate smooth muscle and decrease HR, force of contraction
cholinergic drug
what system; § Postganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals release acetylcholine, the target tissues contain muscarinic cholinergic receptors
parasympathetic
whats causes the constriction of the pupil
cholinergic drugs
