Term
Definition
Effects on Brainstem:   Drugs suppress sympathetic outflow to heart and blood vessels. DC HR, contractility, Vasodilation.  
🗑
Dilation of arterioles reduces   Vascular resistance  
🗑
Dilation of veins reduces   Venous blood flow to the heart  
🗑
Effects on Sympathetic Ganglia   Reduces sympathetic stimulation to heart and blood vessels  
🗑
Effects on terminals of Adrenergic Nerves:   Decreases norepinephrine release from adrenergic nerves- decreased stimulation of sympathetic stimulation.  
🗑
Effects of Beta1-Adrenergic Receptors on the heart   Blockage of beta 1 prevents sympathetic stimulation to the heart.  
🗑
Effects of Alpha1-Adrenergic Receptors on blood vessels   Blockage of Alpha 1 promotes dilation of arterioles and veins.  
🗑
Effects of Vascular Smooth Muscle   Acts directly on vascular smooth muscle causing relaxation.  
🗑
Effects of Renal Tubules   Acts on renal tubules to promote salt and water excretion- Decreases blood volume.  
🗑
Effects of Beta1 receptors on Juxtaglomerular Cells   Blockage of this suppresses renin release and angiotension 2-peripheral/renal vasodilation, suppression of aldosterone-mediated volume expansion.  
🗑
Effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme:   Inhibits ACE suppressing formation of angiotensin 2.  
🗑
Angiotensin 2 Receptors:   Blockage of these receptors prevents action of angiotensin 2.  
🗑
Effects of Aldosterone Receptors:   Blockage of this promotes excretion of sodium and water.  
🗑
What is Renal Regulation?   Result of lower GFR, retention of Na, Cl, and H20.-- increased volume, cardiac output and BP.  
🗑
What is a diuretic?   Drugs that increases urine output. Mainstay of antihypertensive therapy, can be used alone or to enhance effects of HTN drugs.  
🗑
What does diuretics treat?   HTN and mobilization of edematous fluid- associated with Heart Failure, cirrhosis and kidney failure.  
🗑
