Week 5 ANS Flashcards
Alpha 1 stimulation
Contract smooth muscle
CNS stimulations
Alpha 1 stimulation: blood vessels
vasocontriction to non-essential organs
Alpha 1 stimulation: GI
relax smooth muscles and decrease motility
Alpha 1 stimulation: Liver
gycoeogenesis
Alpha 1 stimulation: bladder
contraction
Alpha 1 stimulation: uterus
contraction
Alpha 1 stimulation: pupils
dilation
Alpha 1 stimulation: medication example
pseudoepinephrine to treat nasal congestion by vasocontriction
Alpha 1 Inhibition
Relax smooth muscle
Vasodilation
Alpha 1 inhibition: bladder
increase urine flow
Alpha 1 inhibition: medication example
Tamsulosin to improve urine flow
PSNS: Acetylcholine does what
stimulates muscarinic receptors
Drugs that replicate the stimulation of muscarinic receptors are called what
cholineric
PSNS
Causes smooth muscle contraction that results in decreased heart rate, bronchocontriction, increase GI/GU, pupillary constriction
PSNS direct acting: pilicarpine
cause cilliary muscle to contract and drain aqueous humor
PSNS direct acting: Bethanechol
stimulates bladder causing urinary output
PSNS indirect acting: Pyridistigmine
reverse muscle weakness MG
PSNS indirect acting: Physostigmine
used to treat insecticide poisoning
PSNS indirect acting: Donepezil
Enhances memory with AD
SNS Alpha 2 stimulation
vasodilation
