Autonomics Flashcards
List of neurons Ach acts on
- ALL pre-ganglionic neurons
- ALL parasympathetic post-ganglionic
- sympathetic post ganglionic to sweat gland
- ONLY one neuron to adrenal medulla ->NE and Epi
- voluntary motor
List of neurons NE acts on
post-ganglionic sympathetics
Pre-ganglionic parasympathetic neurons act on what type of receptor?
nicotinic
Pre-ganglionic sympathetic neurons act on what type of receptor?
nicotinic
Post-ganglionic parasympathetic neurons act on what type of receptor?
muscarinic
Post ganglionic sympathetic neurons act on what type of receptor?
alpha and beta
EXCEPTION: sweat glands have muscarinic receptor
SNS effects on heart
B1, B2: increase SA, pacemaker, contractility
PNS effects on heart
M2: decrease SA node, atrial contractility
SNS effects on vasculature
alpha: constrict skin, splanchnic
B2: relax skeletal musle
PNS effects on vasculature
NONE in humans
SNS effects on GI tract
alpha2, B2: relax wall
alpha1: contract sphincter
alpha2: decrease secretion
PNS effects on GI tract
M3: contract wall, relax sphincter, increase secretion
SNS effects on bronchial smooth muscle
B2: relax
PNS effects on bronchial smooth muscle
M3: contract
SNS effects on GU tract
B2: detrussor muscle relax
alpha1: sphincter contract
alpha: ejaculation
PNS effects on GU tract
M2: detrussor contracts, sphincter relaxes
M: erection
SNS effects on skin
alpha: apocrine (stress) sweat
PNS effects on skin
M: thermaregulatory sweat
SNS metabolic effects
alpha, B2: increase glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis
B1: increase renin release
PNS metabolic effects
none
phenylephrine
alpha agonist
Tx: hypotension, nasal congestion
AE: elevated BP, reflex bradycardia, urinary retention
phentolamine
alpha 1 and 2 antagonist
Tx: dermal necrosis, HTN, BPH, Raynaud’s syndrome
AE: reflex tachycardia, weakness, dizziness, flushing, orthostatic hypotension, nasal congestion
prazosin
alpha 1 antagonist
Tx: dermal necrosis, HTN, BPH, Raynaud’s syndrome
AE: reflex tachycardia, weakness, dizziness, flushing, orthostatic hypotension, nasal congestion
isoproterenol
B1 and B2 agonist
Tx: bradycardia, cardiac arrest, AV block
Serious AE: ventricular arrhythmia, tachyarrhythmia, HTN, pulmonary edema
Common AE: tachycardia, angina, dizziness, flushing, orthostatic hypotension, nasal congestion
