How is NE removed from the synaptic cleft?
Definition

1) simple diffusion

2) re-uptake via transporters

Term
What is the function of Tyrosine hydroxylase?
Definition
convert tyrosine to l-DOPA
Term
What is the function of aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase?
Definition
Convert l-DOPA to dopamine
Term

What are the down stream affects of cAMP?

Increased pKA leads to increase energy from breakdown of epinephrine (pKa activation now show).

Definition

Term
Describe Nicotinic Cholinergic Receptors.
Definition

1) ligand-gated ion channels

2) activation leads to depolarization of post-synaptic cells

3) ALL ANS ganglia have nicotinic receptors

 

Term
Describe Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors.
Definition

1) G-protein-linked receptors

2) activation leads to 2nd messenger systems

Term

Definition

1) M1: IP3 DAG

 

2) M2: inhibits adenyl cyclase

 

2) M3 : IP3 DAG

 

4) M4 inhibits adenyl cyclase

 

5) M5 : IP3 DAG

Term
Where are the muscarinic sub-types found?
Definition

1) M1: neurons and autonomic ganglion

2) M2: cardiac muscle

3) M3: glands, smooth muscle, and endocrine cells

4) M4: found in CNS

5) M5: found in CNS

Term
Role of IP3/DAG?
Definition

Term
Which family of adrenergic receptors are more sensitive to isoproterenol?
Definition
Beta
Term
alpha adrenergic receptors are more sensitive to?
Definition
epinephrine then norephrine then isoproterenol
Term
What are the mechanisms of action of the adrenergic receptors?
Definition

1) alpha 1: IP3, DAG

2) alpha 2: inhibit adenyl cyclase, activate K+ channels

3) B1, B2,B3: activates adenylate cyclase

Term
What tissues are affected and what are the effects on alpha 1 receptors?
Definition

1) vascular smooth muscle: Contraction

(Blood pressure increase)

2) genitourinary smooth muscle: Contraction

3) intestinal smooth muscle: Relaxation

4) Heart: increase inotropy and excitability

5) Liver: glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis

Term
What tissues are affected and what are the effects on alpha 2 receptors?
Definition

1) Pancreatic Beta-cells: decrease insulin secretion

2) platelets: aggregation

3) nerve: decrease NE release

4)Vascular smooth muscles: contraction

Term

Definition

1) Heart: increase chronotropy(affecting rate-HR)

and inotropy

2) Heart: increase AV-node conduction velocity

3) Renal juxtaglomerular cell: increase renin secretion

Term

Definition
Average systolic and diastolic pressures
Term

What tissues are affected and what are the effects on

beta 2 receptors?

Definition

1) smooth muscle: relaxation

2) liver: glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis

3) skeletal muscle: glycogenolysis and K+ uptake

Term

Definition
beta 1 ONLY
Term

What receptors are stimulated in the same way by

 

NE, tyramine, amphetamine, ephedrine

(nuemonic: NEAT)?

Definition

Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 are STRONG

 

Beta 1 and Beta 2 are Moderate

Term
Which receptors are stimulatd by albuterol?
Definition
Beta 2 ONLY
Term

What is the affect of NE on alpha 1 receptors?

 

What happens to the systolic, diastolic, and

mean blood pressure?

Definition

Systolic: increase

Diastolic: increase

MBP: increase

Term

What is the affect of NE on alpha 1 receptors?

 

Explain what happens to the PP, HR,a nd TPR

Definition

PP is no change

HR is no change

TPR is increased

Term

What is the affect of NE on alpha 1 receptors?

 

Explain what happens to the PP, HR,a nd TPR

Definition

PP = SBP - DBP

Pulse Pressure equals Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
