Definition
- Constricts pupils
- Decreases eye pressure
Term
How do cholinergic drugs effect the respiratory system?
Definition
- Increase Secretions
- Constricts bronchi
Term

Definition
- Increases secretions (tears, sweat, spit)
Term
How do cholinergic drugs effect the muscoloskeletal system?
Definition
Contracts/activates the muscles, maintains strength and tone.
Term

Term
What is atropine?
Definition

Term
What are beta 1, 2, and alpha 1,2 receptors?
Definition
Adrenergic agonists
Term
What does Alpha 1 do?
Definition
Increases force of heart contractions, increases BP, dilates pupils, decreases secretions, increases urinary bladder relaxation and sphincter contraction.
Term
What does Alpha 2 do?
Definition
Inhibits release of norepinephrine, dilates vessels, produces HYPOtension, decreases gastrointestinal motility and tone.
Term
What does Beta 1 do?
Definition
Increases heart rate & force, increases renin which increases BP
Term
What does beta 2 do?
Definition
Dilates bronchioles, promotes GI and uterine relaxation, increase in blood sugar, increases blood flow to skeletal muscles.
Term
Who would you want to give an adrenergic drug to?
Definition
Someone who has a low BP, having an allergic rxn, asthma, bronchospasm
