Term
Alpha 1 Receptors stimulate which GPCR ? And what does this cause?

Definition
Relax bronchial smooth muscle
Term
What is the main therapeutic use of Alpha2 Agonist?
Definition
Antihypertensives
Term

Adrenal Medullar

Hypothalamus

Brainstem

Term
What does Epinephrine activate?
Definition

Alpha 1 and 2

Beta 1 and 2

Term
T/F: Epinenphrine is inactive orally.
Definition
True
Term
How does Epinephrine affect the heart?
Definition

Increases contractility

Increases HR

Increase rate of relaxation

Term
What metabolic effects does Epinephrine have?
Definition

Increases glycogenolysis

Increase Lipolysis

Decreases insulin release

Increase metabolic rate

What are Epi effects on the Respiratory system?
Definition

Relaxes the Bronchi via B2R

Stabilizes mast cell

Term
What is EPI effect in the smooth muscles?
Definition

Alpha1R causes sphincters to constrict

B2R cause peristalsis to decrease

B2R causes uterine smooth muscle to relax

Term
The intra-ocular pressure is _______________ with EPI.  It can also cause ______________.
Definition

Decreased

Mydriasis

 

Term
List the therapeutic uses of EPI:
Definition

1. Anaphylactic Shock

2. Prolong local Anesthetics (constricts the blood vessels to keep at the  site)

3. Cardiac Stimulant

4. Bronchial asthma

5. Gluacoma ( decreaes the IOP)

Term
What are some possible side effects of EPI?
Definition

1. Tachycardia, arrhythmias

2. Elevated Blood Pressure

3. Tremors, restlessness, palpitations

 

Term
EPI is contraindicated with what?
Definition

What drug interactions occur with EPI and anesthetics?
Definition
Increase in arrhythmias
Term
What drug interactions occur btwn EPI and TCA, Cocaine and MAOi?
Definition
Exaggerated response of EPI will occur.  There will be more catecholamines in vesicles and synapes.  The reuptake is blcoked so will ahve more Epi in the synapse.
