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 |
