what is an anticholinergic | blocks acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system |
muscarinic receptors belong to which NS? | parasympathetic nervous system |
Atropine decreases the tone of which NS and allows which one to predominate? | decreases parasympathetic and allows sympathetic to predominate |
Mechanism of Epinephrine | Binds and activates adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system |
Epinephrine Side effects | jitteriness/anxiety, increased heart oxygen requirement, vessel constriction |
When is Epinephrine used? | cardiac arrest, severe asthma, local anesthetics |
What is epinephrine | hormone and neurotransmitter |
What nervous system uses mostly norepinephrine and epinephrine as neurotransmitters | sympathetic |
Alpha1 adrenergic receptor (3) | vein constriction, decreased GI activity, uterus contraction |
Alpha2 adrenergic receptor | inhibits CNS sympathetic outflow |
Beta1 adrenergic receptor | increases heart rate, heart contraction |
Beta2 adrenergic receptor | dilates bronchioles, release glucose from liver |
When is the parasympathetic NS dominant? | at rest |
When is Atropine used? (3) | slow heart rate, eye drops, dry secretion in mouth or lungs |
