Week 2 - Topics 6-9 Flashcards
Also known as the “Visceral System”
Autonomic Nervous System
Acts on the smooth muscle and glands. It also regulates the heart, respiratory system, GI tract, bladder, eyes and glands
Autonomic Nervous System
The 2 sets of neurons in the ANS
- Afferent neurons
- Efferent neurons
This neuron sends impulses to the CNS where they are interpreted
Afferent neurons
This neuron receives the impulses from the brain and transmits those impulses through the spinal cord to the effector organ cells
Efferent neurons
Also called the “Adrenergic system”
Sympathetic Nervous System
Also known as the “Cholinergic System”
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, and Beta 2 are considered as:

Acts on the receptor cells
Adrenergics or Sympathomimetics or Adrenergic Agonists
Drugs that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system

Example of Mixed Classification of Sympathomimetics
Ephedrine
It is nonselective and acts on Alpha 1, Beta 1, and Beta 2 adrenergic sites
Epinephrine
- Maybe administered SQ, IV, topically, or inhalation, intracardiac
- Metabolized in the liver
- Excreted in the urine
Pharmacokinetics of Epinephrine
- Used to treat anaphylaxis
- Inotropic
- Increases cardiac output
- Increases systolic BP, heart rate, bronchodilation
- High doses may result to cardiac dysrhythmias
- Onset and peak are rapid
Pharmacodynamics of Epinephrine
Topic: Other Adrenergic Drugs
Q: It is used for shock - IV
A. Dopamine (Intropin)
B. Norepinephrine (Levophed)
C. Albuterol (Ventolin)
B. Norepinephrine (Levophed)
