ANS(Pharma)
Autonomic Nervous System
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Consist of brain and spinal cord | Central Nervous System (CNS) |
Located outside the brain and spinal cord | Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) |
PNS is made up of 2 division | The autonomic & The somatic |
it is also called viceral system | Autonomic Nervous System |
2 sets of neurons in autonomic component of the PNS are | Afferent neurons (sensory) & Efferent neurons (motor) |
Send impulse to the CNS, where they are interpreted | Afferent neurons |
Receive impulses (infromation) from brain | Efferent neurons |
The efferent pathways in the ANS are divided into 2 branches: | Sympathetic & Parasympathetic nerves |
Also called as adrenergic system | Sympathetic NS |
4 types of adrenergic receptor | Alpha1, Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2 |
It is also called called cholinergic system | Parasympathetic NS |
2 group of drugs that affect the sympathetic NS | Adrenergic & Adrenergic Blockers |
Drugs that stimulate the sympathetic NS | Adrenergics |
Another adrenergic receptor and is located in the renal, mesenteric, coronary and cerebral arteries | Dopaminergic |
Increases force of heart constriction | Alpha1 |
Inhibits the release of norepinephrine | Alpha2 |
Increases HR and force of contraction | Beta1 |
Dilates bronchioles; promotes GI and uterine relaxation | Beta2 |
