Adrenergic NS

Adreneergic Nervous System

QuestionAnswer
alpha 1 receptor location post synaptically vascular + genitourinary, radial smooth muscle heart liver
Alpha 1 receptor signaling Gq, increase intracellular Ca2+
Alpha 1 receptor function increase peripheral resistance, urinary retention, dilation of pupil increase force + excitability of heart stimulate gluconeogenesis + glycogenolysis
Alpha 2 receptor location pre synaptically: nerve terminalsPost synaptically: pancreatic Beta cells, vascular smooth muscles, platelets
Alpha 2 receptor signaling Gi/Go, decrease cAMP levels
Alpha 2 receptor functions inhibit release of NE (feedback inhibition)decrease insulin secretion, muscle contractionstimulate platelet aggregation
Beta 1 receptor location heart renal juxtaglomerular cells
Beta 1 receptor signaling Gs, increases cAMP levelsEpinephrine = norepinephrine
Beta 1 receptor function increased chronotropy, inotropy, AV node conduction velocity (rate, force, BP)increased renin secretion
Beta 2 receptor location smooth and skeletal muscle
Beta 2 receptor signaling Gs, increases cAMP levelsEpinephrine>Norepinephrine
Beta 2 receptor function smooth muscle relaxationglycogen catabolism in liver = increased plasma glucosestimulates glycogenolysis in skeletal muscles
Beta 3 receptor location adipose tissue
Beta 3 receptor signaling Gs, increases cAMP levels
Beta 3 receptor function lipolysis
Physiological effects on blood vessels a receptors=vasoconstrictionB receptors vasodilation
Effects on heart B1 positive inotropic + chronotropic effects
effects on blood pressure a receptors = increase baroreceptor reflex via AchB receptors = increase systolic, decrease diastolic via B2
effects on radial muscles a receptors = mydriasis (pupil dilation)
effects on intra ocular pressure a receptors = incresae outflow of aqueous humorB receptors = increase aqueous humor production
drugs used to treat glaucoma a-agonistB-antagonist
effects on bronchial muscles B2 = bronchodilation
effects on blood vessels of upper respiratory tract mucose a receptors = vasoconstriction (nasal decongestant)
effects on GI tract smooth muscle a2 + B2 = relaxation (a2 more significant)
effects on uterine smooth msucle B2 = relaxation (delay labor)
effecst on other smooth muscle a receptors = urinary retention, ejaculation
effects on adipose tissue a2 receptors = inhibit lipolysisB3 = stimulate lipolysis
effects on liver B + a1 receptors = glycogenolysis (increase blood glucose)
effects on pancreatic cells a2 receptors = inhibit insulin releaseB receptors = stimulate insulin release
effects on renal cells a2 = inhibit renin releaseB1 = stimulate renin release
epinephrine (sympathomimetic + catecholamine) a + B agonist (all types)
norepinephrine (sympathomimetic + catecholamine) a1, a2, B1 agonist (not for asthma)
dopamine (sympathomimetic + catecholamine) B (moderate dose), & a (high dose) agonist
isopretenrenol (sympathomimetic + catecholamine) B1 & B2 agonist
dobutamine (sympathomimetic + catecholamine) B1 agonist, a1 effects at high doses
phenylephrine (sympathomimetic + non-catecholamine) a1 agonist
oxymetazoline (sympathomimetic + non-catecholamine) a1 & a2 agonist
yohimbine & clonidine (sympathomimetic + non-catecholamine) a2 agonist
xsmoterol (sympathomimetic + non-catecholamine) B1 agonist
albuterol, terbutaline, ritodrine, salmetrol, formoterol (sympathomimetic + non-catecholamine) B2 agonist
Ephedrine uses (a1, B1, B2) bronchospasm (emergency sub cutaneous)glaucoma (increases outflow of aqueous humor)anaphylactic shock (cadiac arrest)adjunct to local anesthetic ( increase duration of action, decrease toxicity)
Norepinephrine uses (a1, B1) shock (increases vascular resistance, increases BP)not really used anymore
Isopreterenol uses (B1, B2) stimulate hear tin emergency situationsNot really used anymore
Dopamine uses (a, B) shock (D1 receptor increase vascular resistance)
Dobutamine uses (B1) increase CO in CHF
Phenylephrine uses (a1) vasoconstriction via increase baroreceptor response, increase parasympathetic, decrease bradycardiamydriasisdecongestantSVT
Methoxamine uses (a1) vasoconstriction (increases BP)SVTovercome halothane induced HYPOtension
Clonidine uses (a2) HTN
Albuterol, pibuterol, terbutaline uses (B2) short acting bronchodilatior (acute asthma attack)
Salmeterol, Formoterol uses (B2) long acting bronchodilators, chronic asthma, before sleep
Indirect acting sympathomimetics amphetamine, cocaine, tyrmaine (MAOI)
Mixed acting sympathomimetic ephedrine
Amphetamines non catecholamine, inhibits MAOstimulates via DA --> NEincreased alertness, decreased fatigue, appetite and sleepincreases BP via a + B via NEADHD, narcolepsy, appetite control
cocaine indirect acting sympathomimeticblocks reuptake of catecholamines (increases DOA)CNS stimulant, euphoria via DA in limbic systemshorter acting than amphet. more intenselocal anesthetic (not used anymore)
ephedrine mixed acting sympathomimetic, non catecholaminereleases stored NE/catecholaminesdirectly stimulates a & B receptorsmild CNS stimulantincrease BP via a and B actionweak bronchodilatorasthma (prophylaxis, acute)nasal decongestant

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.
