Definition
adrenergic blockers
Term
Adrenergic Receptor
Definition
Sites located in the effector cells of muscles and that are acted upon by drugs that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (adrenergics, adrenergic agonists, or sympathetics).
Term
Catecholamines
Definition
the chemical structures of a substance that can produce a sympathomimetic response.
Term
Nonselective
Definition
Affects different adrenergic receptors
Term
Selective
Definition
Affects a specific receptor

Beta blockers
Definition
decrease heart rate, and a decrease in blood pressure usually follows

Term
Postganglionic sympathetic nerve endings, norepinephrine
Definition
Alpha-2 receptors are located in the _____ _____ _____ _____. When stimulated, they inhibit _____.
Term
Myocardial contractility, heart rate
Definition
Stimulation of beta-1 receptors increases _____ _____ and _____ _____.
Term
Reuptake back into the neuron.
Enzymatic transformation or degradation.
Diffusion away from the receptor.
Definition
Transmitters are in inactivated by (3 ways).....
Term
Monoamine oxidase (MAO)
Catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT)
Definition
The two enzymes that inactivate norepinephrine.
Term
Inhibiting reuptake.
Inhibiting degradation by enzyme action
Definition
Drugs can prolong the action of the neurotransmitter by....(2 ways)
Term
Direct-acting sympathomimetics (directly stimulate the adrenergic receptor)
Indirect-acting sympthomimetics (stimulate the release of norepinephrine)
Mixed-acting sympathomimetics (stimulate adrenergic receptors and stimulate the release of norepinephrine)
Definition
3 classifications of sympathomimetics.
Term
Catecholamines
Definition
The chemical structures of a substance that an produce a sympathomimetic response.
Term
Adrenergic blockers, adrenergic antagonists, sympatholytics
Definition
Drugs that block the effects of the adrenergic neurotransmitter are called....(3 names)
Term
Beta blockers
Definition
Useful in treating mild to moderate hypertension, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction.
Term
Vasculature tissues (vessels) of muscle
Definition
The alpha adrenergic receptors are located in the:
Term
Dopamine
Definition
Dopaminergic receptor can only be stimulated by...
Term
The vessels to dilate and the blood flow increases
Definition
When dopaminergic receptors are stimulated they cause...
Term
Nonselective
Definition
Excites all receptors approximately equally
Term
Inotropic
Definition
Strengthens myocardial contractions
Term
Intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA)
Definition
...is the ability of certain beta blockers to bind with a receptor and exert limited or partial activation of the receptor while preventing strong agonists from binding to that receptor producing complete activation.
