Q

Parasympathetic target what receptors?

A

Muscarinic

17
Q

Types of muscarinic receptors (5)

A

M1, M2, M3, M4,M5

18
Q

What adrenoreceptors are galphas linked?

A

B1, B2, B3

19
Q

Increased PLC targets what adrenoreceptor?

A

a1

20
Q

What adrenoreceptor is galphai linked?

A

a2

21
Q

When activated protein kinase A do what?

A

Increase calcium release, activate potassium channels, increase calcium influx

22
Q

Faster heart rate and more forceful contraction caused by what adrenoceptor?

A

B1

23
Q

What does increased cAMP do (linked to heart)?

A

Activate protein kinase A, direct stimulation of ‘pacemaker’ ion channels

24
Q

What effect does a1 adrenoreceptor have?

A

Smooth muscle contraction, artery narrowing, radial smooth muscle contraction , widening of pupils

25
Q

PIP2 hydrolysis does what? , same for arteries and pupil

A

Broken down into IP3 (increases calcium release) and DAG (increase calcium influx) = smooth muscle contraction

26
Q

What effect does b2 adrenoreceptor have?

A

Smoothmuscle relaxation, airway and artery widening, bladder filling

27
Q

Effect of activated protein kinase A by b2 adrenoreceptors

A

Potassium channel activated, imnibition of GO mechanism in sm contraction

28
Q

What receptor involved in breakdown of glycogen, inhibition of glycogen formation and breakdown of lipids?

A

B2/ b3 adrenoreceptor

29
Q

Activated protein kinase A by b1/b2 does what?

A

Modulate various enzymes
