formation of IP3 and DAG and increased intracellular calcium (works thru Gq!)
25
what is the result of ligand binding to M2
the opening of potassium channels and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase (decreased heart rate)
26
what is the result of ligand binding to M3
like M1 - formation of IP3 and DAG and increased intracellular calcium
27
what is the result of ligand binding to M4
like M2 - opening of potassium channels and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase (decreased heart rate)
28
what is the result of ligand binding to M5
like M1 - formation of IP3 and DAG and increased intracellular calcium
29
what are the typical locations of M1
CNS neurons sympathetic postganglionic neurons some presynaptic sites
30
what are the typical locations of M2
myocardium and smooth muscle
31
what are the primary locations of M3
exocrine glands
32
what are the primary locations of M4
CNS neurons
33
what are the primary locations of M5
vascular endothelium
34
name the 2 nicotinic receptors
NN and NM
35
what are the results of ligand binding to NN? what about ligand binding to NM?
both result in the opening of Na+ and K+ channels and DEPOLARIZATION
36
further classify the adrenoceptors
alpha 1 and alpha 2 beta 1,2,3
36
explain the result of ligand binding for beta1, beta2, and beta3 receptors
beta1 - contraction. stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cAMP. found in heart and blood vessels beta2 - relaxation. stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cAMP. stimulates cardiac G under some conditions. found in smooth and cardiac muscle beta3 - stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cAMP. breaks down fats
37
explain what alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors do
alpha 1 contracts through formation of IP3 and increased intracellular calcium alpha 2 relaxes through inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and decreases cAMP
38
explain the typical locations of alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors
alpha 1 - at postsynaptic effector cells especially smooth muscle alpha 2 is at presynaptic adrenergic nerve terminals, platelets, lipocytes, and smooth muscle
39
for someone with hypertension, what kind of beta blocker is needed?
a SELECTIVE beta1 blocker. if it is effective on beta1 and beta2, the person wouldnt be able to breathe
40
in general, what is the typical location of the dopamine receptors?
the brain
41
name all of the dopamine receptors and the result of ligand binding
D1, D2, D3, D4 D1 - stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cAMP D2 - inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and increased potassium conductance D3, D4 - inhibition of adenylyl cyclase
42
name the 4 steps of acetylcholine transmission
synthesis storage release action and termination
43
what is the name of the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine? what is it broken into?
acetylcholine esterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate choline can be recycled and acetate is released out
44
explain how acetylcholine is synthesized and released
sodium and choline pass through the choline transporter on the membrane. acCoA is from the mitochondria (from inside of the cell) AcCoA and choline are joined toghether by ChAT (choline acetyltransferase) newly formed acetylcholine is then transported into a vesicle through VAT (vesicular acetylcholine transporter) acetylcholine is released from the vesicle when calcium enters the cytoplasm and through VAMPS (vesicle associated membrane proteins) exocytised with ATP and P
45
what blocks the synthesis of acetylcholine and how? what drugs mimic this?
hemicholiniums will not allow the transport of choline across the membrane. antipsychotic meds mimic this
46
once acetylcholine has been synthesized, what happens
the acetycholine (now in the cytoplasm) needs to be stored in a vesicle this is done through VAT (vesicular acetylcholine transporter)
47
what blocks acetylcholine from going into the vesicle
vesamicol. blocks VAT and thus no vesicle
48
once acetylcholine is in the vesicle, what happens?
exocytosis out of the cell, and acetylcholine binds on its cholinergic receptor, exocytosis occurs via VAMPs (vesicle associated membrane proteins) and the influx of calcium
49
what blocks the exocytosis of acetylcholine?
botulinum toxin
50
where is acetylCoA synthesized
in the mitochondria
51
where are mitochondria present in large numbers?
in the nerve ending
52
true or false acetylcholine is synthesized in the cytoplasm
true
53
what enzyme synthesizes acetylcholine
choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)
54
what is VAT driven by? what does VAT do?
VAT (vesicle associated transporter) transports the newly synthesized acetylcholine from the cytoplasm and into a vesicle. it is driven by the efflux of protons
55
VAT can be blocked by...
vesamicol
56
most of the vesicular acetylcholine is bound to what?
VPG -- negatively charged vesicular proteoglycan
57
where are vesicles concentrated and by what?
on the inner surface of the nerve terminal by SNARE proteins on the vesicle and on the inside of the terminal cell membrane
58
the release of acetylcholine from the vesicle is dependent on what
extracellular calcium occurs when an action potential reaches the terminal and triggers sufficient influx of calcium ions
59
what inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine
cocaine and tricyclic antidepressants. NE will thus stay in the synaptic cleft longer
60
what happens when acetylcholine is released via exocytosis
binds on cholinoceptors (nicotinic + muscarinic) when broken down, choline can be recycled and be transported back into the neuron through CHT, and acetate is released out
61
true or false Acetyl-CoA is synthesized in the cytoplasm
FALSE - in the mitochondria acetylcholine is synthesized in the cytoplasm
62
explain how acetycholine is stored in vesicles
vesicular ACh is bound to - charged VPG (vesicular proteoglycan) these vesicles are on the inner surface of the nerve terminal by SNARE proteins that are on the vesicle (v-SNARES - synaptobrevin) and on the inside of the terminal cell membrane (t-SNARES - syntaxin and SNAP 25)
63
the release of acetylcholine from the vesicle is dependent on.......
extracellular calcium. occurs when an action potential triggers the influx of calcium via N-type Ca channels calcium interacts with VAMP synaptotagmins on the vesicle membrane which triggers the FUSION of the vesicle membrane with the terminal membrane. a pore opnes into the synapse and cations rush in and acetylcholine is released via exocytosis into the synaptic cleft
64
acetylcholine vesicle release is blocked by...... acetylcholine vesicle release is enhanced by.....
blocked by botulinum toxin enhanced by black widow spider venom
65
acetylcholine binds and activates.....
cholinoreceptor
66
true or false acetylcholine undergoes rapid deactivation by acetylcholinesterases
true
67
what are other cholinesterases with a lower specificity for acetylcholine?
butyrylcholinesterase (pseudocholinesterase)
