Q

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

blocks only Alpha 1 causing vasodilation, decrease heart rate, contractility and bp

A

Alpha 1 Selective Antagonist

Example: Prazosin

21
Q

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Beta Blockers

A
  • Non Selective
  • Selective B1 antagonist/blocker
22
Q

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

blocks both B1 and B2 causing vasodilation decreasing bp but
bronchoconstriction – don’t give to patient with asthma or respiratory problems.

A

Non Selective

Example : Propranolol

23
Q

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

blocks only B1 causing
vasodilation causing a decrease in BP but no bronchoconstriction

A

Selective B1 antagonist/blocker

Example : Metoprolol – less likely to precipitate bronchoconstriction

24
Q

rest and digest

A

PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

25
Q

PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Effects=

A

heart rate, bp = decreased, GI increased, miosis

26
Q

28
Q

mimic Acetylcholine

A

cholinergic agonists

29
Q

Receptors

A

Nicotinic and Muscarinic

30
Q

target skeletal muscles

A

Nicotinic receptors

31
Q

target – smooth muscles, salivary glands, gastrointestinal stimulation

A

Muscarinic receptors

32
Q

increase salivation, sweating, urination, gastric acid

A

Muscarinic agonist

Example: Pilocarpine

33
Q

skeletal muscle contraction

A

Nicotinic receptor agonist

34
Q

will cause miosis, diarrhea and bradycardia

A

bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm

A

Side effects

40
Q

antimuscarinic agents causing bladder relaxation preventing urinary incontinence.

A
