(152 cards)
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUSSYSTEM
▪mediates Organ systems, blood pressure
▪Hormone (epi from adrenal medulla) vs. neurotransmitter (NE)
rate limiting step NE release
Tyr to dopa
NEUROTRANSMITTER TERMINATION NE vs Ach
▪Acetylcholine: ACh-esterase, 150ms FAST
▪Norepinephrine: Reuptake
▪Monoamine oxidase (Pregang)
▪Catechol-OMethyltransferase (postgang)
direct sympathetic agonists
effects depend on?
bind to receptors
effect depends on: route, affinity, expression of receptor subtypes
indirect sympathetic agonists mechanisms
▪Indirect: Catecholamine displacement (Amphetamines)
▪Decreased NE clearance: Reuptake inhibition
ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS
▪α1 α2
▪β1 β2
▪Dopamine
▪Sympathomimetic (sym effects) vs sympatholytic (opposes sym effects)
states dowregulating adrengenic receptors
▪Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
▪Acidosis
▪Hypoxia
and sepsis
A1 functions
works at peripheral vas beds, sympathomimetic
▪Vasoconstriction=Blood pressure increased
▪Mydriasis (dilated pupils)
▪Urinary sphincter constriction
A2 functions
symphatolytic
▪In the vasculature
▪Inhibition of NE and ACh
▪Decreased sympathetic tone
▪Decreased BP
▪Sedation
B1 functions
sympathetimetic
▪Cardiac excitation
▪Increased rate, contractility, conduction (chronotrophy and ionotrophy with increased Ca)
B2 functions
sympathetlytic
▪Bronchodilation
▪Smooth muscle relaxation
▪Skeletal muscle vasodilation
▪Decreased vascular resistance
Dopa receptor function
▪Resistance vessel vasodilation to increase blood flow at:
▪Renal
▪Splanchnic
▪Coronary
▪Cerebral
catecholamines
1 ones?
where each is from?
▪Dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE)= Primary catecholamines
▪DA – Brain and kidney
▪NE – Sympathetic nerve endings
▪Epinephrine – Adrenal medulla
NE binding affinties?
A1>B1>B2
NE
▪Primary neurotransmitter at?
▪Maintenance of?
BP?
▪ cardiac output changes
▪ chronotropic changes
▪ coronary blood flow
▪Endogenous
▪Primary neurotransmitter at sympathetic nerve endings
▪Maintenance of sympathetic tone
▪⇧BP
▪No cardiac output changes
▪Minimal chronotropic changes
▪Increased coronary blood flow
NE uses
spetic shock or hypotensive pts with fluids administered first
NE caution
porlonged use: cardiac cell death
Epi
▪Only released by
▪ released for?
coronary blood flow effect?
▪Caution?
▪Endogenous
▪Only released by adrenal medulla
▪Stress preparation
▪⇧coronary blood flow
▪Caution prolonged infusions
epi affinities
A1 at high doses and B1/2 at lower doses
epi uses based on dosage?
can be used for?
high doses: increase bp and hr
lower doses; beta effects
can be used for anaphylaxis and with LA
DA
▪Endogenous
▪NE precursor
DA affinities
- DA receptor
- A1,B1,B2 all similar
DA Dose-specific effects
▪Low dose (0.5 – 3 mcg/kg/min): DA effects
▪Intermediate (3 – 10 mcg/kg/min): B effects
▪High (10 – 20 mcg/kg/min): A effects
DA uses
can bes used as a NE reuptake inhibitor at intermediate doses to increase iono/chrono at heart and increase BP
