Term
the preganglionic NT and receptor for PS and S
Definition
ACh; Nn receptor
Term
PS postganglionic receptor and NT
Definition
ACh; muscarinic
Term
Sympathetic post-ganglionic receptor and NT on smooth muscle
Definition
NE; alpha and beta receptors
Term
sympathetic post-ganglionic NT and receptor on sweat glands
Definition
ACh; muscarinic
Term
Does adrenal medulla release more epi or NE?
Definition
EPI
Term
what NT and receptor does the somatic motor neuron release at the NMJ?
Definition
ACh; Nm receptor
Term
describe main mechanism for inactivation NE
Definition
NE is taken back up into the nerve terminal via the NE transporter (NET) (aka uptake 1) and either reused or degraded by MAO
Term
what enzyme in the adrenal medulla converts NE to Epi?
Definition
PNMT (phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase)
Term
what's the significance of having both Epi and NE?
Definition
affinity for Beta2 different

-->epi has higher affinity for B2; NE doesn't bind to B2 for ease of discussion
Term
what happens with low dose Epi?
Definition
B2 receptor-->vasodilation and decreased PVR
Term
what happens with high dose Epi?
Definition
alpha1 and B2 receptors-->increased PVR
Term
what's the main mechanism of inactivation for ACh?
Definition
ACh is broken down by the enzyme AChE (acetylcholinesterase) located in the synaptic cleft
Term
If it's a nicotonic receptor where is it?
Definition
PS and S ganglia and skeletal m.
Term
if it's a muscarinic receptor where is it?
Definition
effector organ
Term
What does Gs do?
Definition
activates adenylyl cyclase
Term
what does Gi do?
Definition
inhibits adenylyl cyclase
Term
what does Gq do?
Definition
activates phospholipase Cbeta
Term
what's the response of activating alpha1 receptors?
Definition
activates Gq--> increase in intracellular calciu, which causes contraction/secretion; PKC-->phosphorylate proteins
Term
what's the response of activating alpha 2 receptors?
Definition
activates Gi-->inhibits adenylyl cyclase-->increases K+ permeability-->decreases NT release
Term
how do beta receptors work?
Definition
Gs-->activates adenylyl cyclase-->increases cAMP-->phophorylate proteins
Term
are muscarinic or nicotinic receptors faster?
Definition
nicotinic; muscarinic are g-protein coupled

why skeletal m. has nicotinic receptor
Term
Nicotinic recpetors are ___-gated ion channels
Definition
ligand
Term
Describe action of nicotinic receptors
Definition
when 2 molecules of ACh bind to the channel, the channel opens and sodium and potassium diffuse down their [ ] gradients; net flow of positively charged ions is inward; depolarizes cell causing either contraction (skeletal m.) or firing of nerve
Term
Where is M3 located and what does its activation result in?
Definition
smooth muscle; secretory glands; activates Gq and causes contraction/secretion
Term
where is M2 located and what does it do?
Definition
heart (decreased activity) because it activates Gi-->inhibits AC-->increases K permeability
Term
what happens if you increase the permeability of the resting membrane to K+ in the SA node?
Definition
hyperpolarization; harder to reach threshold
Term
what's the effect of chronic exposure to antagonist?
Definition
receptor up-regulation
Term
what's the effect of chronic exposure to agonist?
Definition
receptor down-regulation
Term
what receptors are located on the iris sphincter smooth muscle?
Definition
M3
Term
what receptors are located on the iris radial smooth muscle?
Definition
alpha 1
Term
what are 2 ways to induce mydriasis (dilation) to perform a fundoscopic exam?
Definition
1) activate alpha1 receptors (and constrict the iris radial smooth m.)
2.) block M receptors (and don't constrict the iris sphincter smooth m.)
Term
the ciliary muscle is relaxed in?
Definition
far vision
Term
what receptor is located on the ciliary muscle?
Definition
M(3?) receptor
Term
you give a person a M antagonist to dilate the pupil:

1. what happened to their vision?
2. will an alpha1 agonist cause blurry vision?
Definition
1. blurry b/c effecting ability ciliary m. to control lens
2. no b/c it's not affecting ciliary m.
Term
PS simtulation of the lachrymal glands?
Definition
lacrimation; ACh-->M3-->activate Gq
Term
what endogenous catecholamine will most likely bind to and activate the B2 receptors on the lungs?
Definition
epinephrine
Term
a person with COPD is having trouble breathing; what types of drugs can you use to open their airways?
Definition
activate B2 receptors (bronchodilation); bock M recpetors (block constriction and secretion)

e.g. albuterol
Term
what type of drug(s) would be considered a physiological antagonist of bronchoconstriction?
Definition
B2 agonist

2 drugs produce opposite effects by interacting with 2 DIFFERENT receptors; muscarinic-->constriction; B2-->dilation

(muscarinic is pharm antagonist)
Term
if someone has an ulcer with too much gastric acid secretion, how can you help them?
Definition
block M receptors (M3)
Term
what can you use in a patient who has urinary incontinence from detrusor overactivity?
Definition
block M receptors
Term
summarize effect muscarinic receptors on BV
Definition
activation of M3 receptors on endothelial cells induces the production of NO; NO diffuses over to the vascular smooth m. cell where it activates guanylyl cyclase increasing the production of cGMP; cGMP causes smooth m. relaxation and vasodilation
Term
what would be the difference between the effect of PS nervous system activatoin and administering a muscarinic agonist on PVR?
Definition
PS-no change PVR; M agonist-->decrease PVR b/c activate receptors and increase NO productionex
Term
examples of BV innervated by PS nerves?
Definition
salivary glands, GI glands, genital erectile tissue
Term
stimulation of which type of receptor will cause the greatest increase in CO?
Definition
B1 receptors
Term
isoproterenol
Definition
B1=B2 >>>>>>>alpha
Term
what recpetors are responsible for thermoregulatory sweating?
Definition
M3
Term
what receptors are responsible for sweating on palms of hands?
Definition
alpha 1
Term
what's one of the bothersome effects of blocking muscarinic receptors?
Definition
dry mouth
Term
what may be a consequence of blocking beta receptors in a diabetic?
Definition
impair response to hypoglycemia
Term
what can you use beta2 agonists for?
Definition
hyperkalemia

activatoin of b2 receptors shifts K into the cell
