Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the eye?
Definition

a1 recepters

contracts radial muscle of iris = mydriasis (dilation of pupil)

Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the eye?
Definition
M3 receptors
contracts sphincter muscle of iris = miosis (constriction of pupil)
Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the heart?
Definition
activates B1 receptors to increase heart rate (SA node) and increase contractability (atrai)
Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the heart?
Definition
Vagus nerve releases Ach which activate M2 receptors to decrease heart rate (SA node) and decrease contractability (atria)
Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the skin and mucosa?
Definition
a1 &a2 receptors produce vasoconstriction of blood vessels
Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the skin and mucosa?
Definition
M3 receptors dilate blood vessels
Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the pulmonary vasculature?
Definition
a1 receptors cause contraction in arterioles
Term
what is the affect of chonergic activity on the pulmonary vasculature?
Definition
M3 receptors cause dilation in pulmonary vasculature
Term
what chemical messenger is released by cholinergic acitivty (parasympathetic)?
Definition
Ach
Term
what chemical messenger is released between preganglionic fiber and postganglionic fiber in adrenergic activity (sympathetic)?
Definition
Ach
Term
what chemical messenger is released between postganglionic fiber and the effector organ in adrenergic activity (sympathetic)?
Definition
NE
Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the intestine?
Definition
a2 receptors decrease motility and tone
Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the intestine?
Definition
M3 receptors increase motility and tone
Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the adrenal medulla?
Definition
initiate secretion of Epi & NE
Term
what is the affect of adrenergic activity on the bladder?
Definition
b2 receptors relex detrusor muscle & a1 receptors contract sphincter
Term
what is the affect of cholinergic activity on the bladder?
Definition
m3 receptors contract detrusor muscle and relax sphinctor (m3 makes you pee)
Term
what chemical messenger activates both muscarinic and nicotinc receptors?
Definition
Ach
Term
what is the function of choline ester or natural alkaloids?
Definition
direct acting to activate muscaurinic receptors
Term
what is an indirect acting cholinergic stimulant?
Definition
cholinesterase inhibitors
Term
what are the 4 choline esters discussed in lecture that act as direct choninergic stimulants?
Definition
1. Ach
2. Methacholine
3. Carbachol
4. Bethanechol
Term
what 2 choline esters are susceptible to rapid hydrolysis by cholinesterases and have major cardiovascular effects?
Definition
Ach and methacholine
Term
what 2 choline esters are ressitant to hydrolysis by cholinesterases and have mjor effects on gastrointestinal system, bladder and eye?
Definition
Carbachol and bethanechol
Term
what antagonizes choline esters?
Definition
Atropine
Term
which choline ester is without nicotinc effects?
Definition
Bethanechol
Term
what is the affect of choline esters on the cardiovascular system?
Definition
decreased sys and diastolic bp with characteristic reflex tachycardia
Term
what would happen if you applied a cholinergic agonist and a ganglionic blocking agent to bp and heart rate?
Definition
fall in bp, but no change in heart rate bc ganglionic blockers block reflex sympathetic actions
Term
what are the effects of choline esters on the GI tract?
Definition
contrac the detrusor muscle and increase voiding pressure
Term
what is the effect of choline esters on glands?
Definition
increase secretions
Term
when would there be contraindications to using a choline ester?
Definition
1. Asthma (increase bronchial secretions)
Coronary insufficiency (slowed AV conduction and contraction)
3. Peptic ulcer (increase intestinal secretions)
Term
what are the sings of toxicity by choline esters?
Definition
flushing, sweating, abdominal cramps, pupillary constriction, salavation.
Antidote - Atropine
Term
what drug is used after surgery to treat postoperative and postpartum urinary retention?
Definition
Bethanechol
Term
What drug is used to treat xerostomia?
Definition
Bethanechol
Term
What drugs are used to opthamological preperations when miosis is desired?
Definition
Ach and carbachol
Term
what drug is used for the long term treatment of glaucoma?
Definition
Carbachol
Term
what class of drugs are pilocarpine and acedlidine?
Definition
cholinomimetic natural alkaloids
Term
what are the effects of pilocrpine and aceclidine on the pupil, intestine and bladder?
Definition
pupil constriction and decrease in intracocule tone
increased intestinal tone
increase bladder smooth muscle tone
Term
what is the difference between the effects of choline esters v. natural alkaloids on the heart?
Definition
both decrease BP but natural alkaloids don't have sympathetic reflex to increase heart rate
(Pilocarpine actually reduces heart rate!!)
Term
what are pilcarpine and aceclidine prescribed for?
Definition
reduce intraoccular pressure (glaucoma), inrease salivation (sjorgrens or head and neck radiation)
Term
what are the signs of natural alkaloid toxcity?
Definition
BRADYCARDIA, salivation, vomitting, bronchospasm
Antidote - Atropine
Term
what class of drugs are physostigmine, neostigmine, edrophonium, pyridostimine, and embenonium?
Definition
Indirect acting parasympathetic agents: AchE inhibitors
Term
what type of drugs have been used in chemical weapons, nerve toxins and insecticides?
Definition
AchE inhibitors
Term
what is the effect of AchE inhibitors on the heart?
Definition
Decrease BP and
Term
what is the MOA of atropine?
Definition
competitively blocks access of Ach to muscurinic receptor (M2 on cardiac muscle and m3 on smooth muscle and at very high concentrations it iwll block M1 receptors in the ganglia)
Term
what are the effects of antimuscurinic drugs?
Definition
everything opposite of the cholinergic actions
Term
what are 2 examples of competitive neuromuscular blocking agents?
Definition
Curare and rocuronium
Term
what is the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent?
Definition
Succinylcholine
Term
what is the result of succinylcholine on muscles?
Definition
rapid fasiculations and flaccid paralysis
Term
what drug type results in the release of histamine?
Definition
neuromusclar blocking agents
Term
what is the affect of neurmuscular blocking agents on the cardiovascular system?
Definition
Fall in BP w/reflex tachycardia
Term
what causes the rapid fall in BP in neuromuscular blocking agents?
Definition
The fall in BP is due to sympathetic ganglionic blockade, histamine release and loss of muscle tone
Term
what are neuromuscular blockng agents used for?
Definition
relaxation of skeletal muscle during surgery
