Term
acetylcholine parasympathetic system
Definition
from nicotinic receptor to muscarinic receptor.
Term
acetycholine sympathetic
Definition
some are nicotinic to muscarinic, some are cathecholamine releasing, somee dopamine releasing .
Term
acetylcholine somatic
Definition
1 nictonic receptor. @ muscular endplate
Term
nicotinic receptors locations
Definition
within the CNS. There is neuronal type (Nn) (postganglionic cell body, presynatpic cholinergic terminals) and muscule type (Nm)(skeletal muscle neurmuscular end plates) subunits with different structural features. Both open sodium/potassium channels once ligand bound.
Term
muscarinic receptors location
Definition
located on the target organ examples - sweat glands, cardiac and smooth muscle . 7 transmembrane domain.- Bidnign to receptor leads to g protein association wihich then tramsits info to effectors (ac,plc)-. Second messengers (camp, calcium) ultimately leaddign to ion chanen l opening
Term

Definition
inhibits sodium depepdnatn choline transporterinto presynatpic cell which is unieque to chilnergic neurons.
Term
acetylcholine in presynapatic neuron
Definition
taken up by choline transporter and then added to acetyl Coa to acetylcholine, taken up by vesicles and stored until calcium influx happens. When calcium influx happens Ach is released.
Term
Cholinesterase inhibitors
Definition
on suraface of postsynaptic cell. Cholinesterase ihibitors asass well as cholinmimetmics potentiate the effects of acetylcholine
Term
cholinoreceptor blockign
Definition
antagonize choline by bindin to postsynaptic cholien receptors.
Term
botulinim toxin
Definition
degrades syanptobrevin which is requried for vesicale vusion to presynatpicnmembrane, induces flaccid paralysis
Term
noradrenergic junction
Definition
similar to cholinergic junciton, trnaasporter brings in recpeotr which is then converted to product product is then stored in vesicle until ready for use. Calcium influx etc. Unlike acetylcholine, cathecohalamines themselves are taken up by catecholamien transporters
Term
Enteric nervous system
Definition
sympathetic postganglionic (which are modulated by Ach,) and several neurons which release acetycholine are actually within ENS. ach released throughout ENS , which menas agetns that ffect cholienric recetors wil lhave side ffects from result of interacitons with ENS.

Term
nictonic agonist function
Definition
binding keeps channel open and depolarized
Term
nondepolarizing blcoker
Definition
keeps channel closed and unable to dpeolarize. To antaognize effects of depolarizign blocker, must increase ocncentration of acetylcholine (using cholinesterase inhibitor).
Term
dpoelarizing blocekr
Definition
keeps channel perpetually open and unblocked. This results in paralysis as well, because if Ach is in excess or if agonist such as this is in use , membrane remains depolarized, so vvoltage gated sodium channels cannot open to support futher AP . Not readily reversible, sicne adding AcH would only make mattersworse.
Term
succinnylcholine
Definition
depolarizing neurmoscular blocking drugs (nitocinitc agonist). Elimianted by plasma cholinesterase
Term
Phase 1 block
Definition
channel opens and cuses depolarization- adjacent membraens deoplrize and muscle untis contract. However depolarized membranes remaine depoalrized (since succinylcholine is not metabolized effectively ), depolarized membrane remain depoalrized and unresponsive to subsequnt impulses. Flaccid paralysis results, since repolariation needs to ucrr with repetive firing to maintain msucle tension.
Term
Phase II block
Definition
desensitizing block- continued exposue to drug results in densensitazion to depolarization with emmbrane becomign reporlaized. Channels now behave as though in a prologned closed state, because are desensitized toagonists.
Term
