Question | Answer |
Sympathetic Nervous System | prepares the body to handle stress. "fight or flight" |
adrenergic agonists | medications that exert effects on the sympathetic nervous system which use adrenergic receptors |
Parasympathetic Nervous System | bowel, bladder, slowing HR, stomach acid production |
cholinergist agonist | drugs that act on parasympathetic NS |
Alpha1 | peripheral blood vessels:vasoconstriction, elevation of systemic B/P. ex: noreppi, epi, phenylephrine, dopamine |
Alpha2 | pre/post-synaptic nerve terminals: vasodilation, anesthesia. ex: clonadine |
Beta1 | heart: increase HR & contractility. ex: norepi epi, dobutamine |
Beta2 | smooth muscle of airway: ex: epi, albuterol,terbutaline |
beta adrenergic receptor blockers | prevent naturally occurring beta agonists from stimulating the receptors (labetalol, metoprolol) |
chronotropic | increase/decrease HR |
inotropic | increase/decrease contractility |
acetylcholine | neurotransmitter used by parasympathetic NS. |
two types of cholinergic receptors | nicotinic and muscarinic |
nicotonic receptors | found in CNS, autonomic ganglia, and striated muscle |
muscarinic receptors | found in cardiac and smooth muscle, exocrine glands and brain |
