Definition
Word
drugs that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.   adrenergics  
🗑
Adrenergics are also called: (2)   adrenergic agonists or sympathomimetics because they mimic the effects of the sympathetic neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine  
🗑
adrenergic receptors that are further divided into alpha1- and alpha2-adrenergic receptors and are differentiated by their location on nerves   alpha-adrenergic receptors  
🗑
Bodily functions that are involuntary and result from physiologic activity of the ANS.   autonomic functions  
🗑
Controls autonomic bodily functions   autonomic nervous system (ANS)  
🗑
Located on postsynaptic effector cells- the cells, muscles, and organs that the nerves stimulate.   Beta-adrenergic receptors  
🗑
Beta1-adrenergic receptors are primarily in:   the heart  
🗑
beta2-adrenergic receptors are located in the:   smooth muscle of the bronchioles and arterioles and in visceral organs  
🗑
substances that can produce a sympathomimetic response. They are either endogenous catecholamines (such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) or synthetic catecholamines.   catecholamines  
🗑
adrenergic receptors that, when stimulated by dopamine, cause the renal, mesenteric, coronary, and cerebral arteries to dilate and the flow of blood to increase   dopaminergic receptors  
🗑
pupillary dilation, whether natural (physiologic) or drug-induced   mydriasis  
🗑
topically applied eye medications   ophthalmics  
🗑
refers to an increased heart rate   positive chronotropic effect  
🗑
causes an increase in conduction through the atrioventricular node   positive inotropic effect  
🗑
the space between the nerve ending and the effector organ   synaptic cleft  
🗑
paroxysmal chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia   angina  
🗑
drugs that bind to adrenergic receptors and inhibit or block neurotransmitters   antagonists  
🗑
the characteristic of beta-blockers to inhibit stimulation of the heart by circulating catecholamines   cardioprotective  
🗑
beta-blocking drugs that are selective for beta1-adrenergic receptors.   cardioselective beta-blockers  
🗑
cardioselective beta-blockers are also called:   beta1-blocking agents  
🗑
irregular heartbeat   dysrhythmia  
🗑
leaking of fluid from the blood vessel into the tissues   extravasation  
🗑
the production of glucose from glycogen in the liver, which is reduced by beta-blockers   glycogenolysis  
🗑
action of agents within the beta-blocking class. A drug that mimics the activity of the adrenergic system   intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA)  
🗑
attraction to lipid or fat   lipophilicity  
🗑
beta-blocking drugs that block both beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors   nonselective beta-blockers  
🗑
abnormally low blood pressure occuring when a person assumes the standing position   orthostatic hypotension  
🗑
drugs used to treat postpartum and postabortion bleeding caused by uterine relaxation and enlargement. They stimulate the smooth muscle of the uterus to contract   oxytocics  
🗑
vascular tumor that secretes norepinephrine and stimulates the CNS   pheochromocytoma  
🗑
another name for adrenergic antagonists   sympatholytics  
🗑
system of classifying antidysrhythmic agents   Vaughan Williams classification  
🗑
Albuterol (*)   Ventolin  
🗑
Epinephrine (*)   Adrenalin  
🗑
Pseudoephedrine (*)   Afrin  
🗑
Dobutamine (*)   Dobutrex  
🗑
Albuterol is a (category)   selective beta2 adrenergic  
🗑
Epinephrine is a (cat.)   natural mixed alpha and beta  
🗑
Pseudoephedrine is a (cat.)   stereoisomer of ephedrine  
🗑
Dobutamine is a (cat.)   beta1-selective vasoactive adrenergic drug similar to natural dopamine  
🗑
Albuterol effect   bronchodilator  
🗑
Epiniphrine effects   vasoconstriction, increased BP, cardiac stimulation, dilation of bronchioles  
🗑
Pseudoephedrine effect   nasal decongestant  
🗑
Dobutamine effect   increases cardiac output by increasing contractility (positive inotropy), which increases stroke volume  
🗑
metaprolol (*)   Lopressor  
🗑
propranolol (*)   Inderal  
🗑
sotalol (*)   Betapace  
🗑
phentolamine (cat.)   alpha blocker  
🗑
prazosin (cat.)   alpha1-adrenergic blocker  
🗑
metaprolol (cat.)   beta1-blocker  
🗑
propranolol (cat.)   nonselective beta1 and beta2 blocker  
🗑
sotalol (cat.)   nonselective beta blocker  
🗑
phentolamine effect   reduces peripheral vascular resistance  
🗑
phentolamine used to treat   hypertension, pheochromocytoma, extravasation of vasopressors  
🗑
prazosin effect   relaxes & dilates the vasculature & smooth muscle around the prostate  
🗑
prazosin uses   hypertension, urinary obstruction in men w/ BPH  
🗑
metaprolol uses   post-MI, hypertension, early MI  
🗑
propranolol uses   angina, hypertension, dysrhythmias, post MI, migraine, tremor, pheochromocytoma  
🗑
sotalol effect   antidysrhythmic  
🗑
sotalol uses   difficult to treat dysrhythmias  
🗑
