EMT Pharmacology

EMT NAIT Pharmacology, nervous system

TermDefinition
Sympathetic Division Responsible for Fight or Flight reactions
Sympathetic Division- heart 2 Increased heart rate (Beta 1 receptors) Increased force of contraction (beta 1 receptors)
Sympathetic Division- blood vessels Constricts abdominal blood vessels (Alpha 1) Constricts peripheral blood fessels (Alpha 1) Dilates muscular blood vessels (beta 2) Constricts muscular blood vessels (Alpha 1)
Sympathetic Division- Lungs Dilates bronchi (beta 2) Skeletal Muscles- breakdown of glycogen to glucose (beta 2) Metabolism (increase of up to 100%) Alpha 1
Sympathetic Division- Glands Adrenal Glands- release epinephrine and norepinephrine (cholinergic receptors) Salivary glands (constricts vessels, thick viscous secretions) (alpha 1$2) gastric, Pancreas- inhibits (alpha 1&2)
Sympathetic Division- Sweat glands merocrine glands- copious watery secretrion apocrine glands- thick organic secretions (both by cholinergic receptors)
Sympathetic Division- Gallbladder and bile relaxation (beta 2)
Sympathetic Division- Urinary bladder wall- relaxation (beta 2) sphincter- contraction (Alpha 1)
Sympathetic Division- eyes Ciliary muscle- relax for far vision (beta) Pupil- Dilation-radial fibers (alpha 1)
Sympathetic Division - Arrector pilli (makes your hair stand up) (Alpha 1)
Sympathetic Division- Blood Blood- Increase coagulation (Alpha 2)
Sympathetic Division- sex organs Ejaculation (Alpha 1)
Parasympathetic- Heart Slowed HR (alpha 2) Coronary artery dilation (Alpha 2)
Parasympathetic- blood vessels blood vessels- no effect
Parasympathetic- Lungs Bronchoconstricion (cholinergic receptors, small effect of Alpha 1)
Parasympathetic- glands Adrenal- no effect Salivary- dilation of vessels and thin copious secretions- Cholinergic receptors Gastric, pancreas- stimulation (cholinergic receptors Lacrimal glands- secretion (cholinergic receptors)
Parasympathetic- Sweat no effect
Parasympathetic- Gut Increased motility Decreased tone (cholinergic receptors)
Parasympathetic- Gallbladder and bile Contraction (cholinergic receptors)
Parasympathetic- Urinary bladder wall- contraction sphincter- relaxation (cholinergic receptors)
Parasympathetic- Eye Ciliary muscle- Contraction for near vision Pupil- Constriction (cholinergic receptors)
Parasympathetic- arrector pili no effect
Parasympathetic- blood no effect
Parasympathetic- sex organs Erection
Parasympathetic Division Rest and Digest
Agonists Drugs that interact with a receptor to stimulate a response
Antagonist Drugs that attach to a receptor to prevent a response
Partial Agonist Drugs that interact with a receptor to stimulate a response but inhibit other responses
Salbutamol- Bronchodilator stimulates Beta 2 to relax bronchi and vascular smooth muscle
Glucagon- hyperglycemic agent beta 2 agonist- stimulates glycogenolysis (liver stores of glycogen turn to glucose for use in the blood stream) relaxes musculature of GI tract positive inotropic and chronotropic effects
Epinephrine- sympathomimetic, adrenergic directly stimulates alpha and beta adrenergic receptors Bronchodilation- beta 2 +chronotropic&inotropic - beta1 Vasodilation- beta 2 Vasoconstriction- Alpha 1
Chronotropic +/- rate of contraction (heart)
Inotropic +/- force of contraction (heart)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
