PNS mechanism
Ach from CNS/brain neurons - on Nicotinic receptors N - postganglionic fiber release Ach - M3 on exocrine glands & M3 smooth muscle & M2 heart/ muscarinic receptor
Muscarinic receptor
M2 on heart - G-protein coupled receptor -for Ach
cholinergic synapse
Ach release
SNS mechanism
Ach from CNS/ spinal cord neurons -
neuronal Nicotinic Nn receptors on post ganglion - release NE - on the Alpha-1 R on smooth muscle & beta-1 R on heart
N R on adrenal medulla - releasing N and NE in blood
NE = NA
NorEpinephrine = NorAdrenaline
Nicotinic receptors subtypes
Nn - nicotinic subtype - the postganglionic neuron - SNS &
Nm - muscle subtype -somatic
autonomic nervous system
Ach from pre-synaptic - cholinergic - on Nn & muscarinic R & AChe & presynaptic autoreceptor
somatic nervous system
spinal cord - somatic nerves - Ach - Nm on skeletal muscle
AChe
primary Ach break down = acetate + choline
cholinergic synapse
where the Ach is released
primary breakdown methods -
NE = uptake to presynaptic neuron - Catechol-O-methyl-transferase ACh = AChE - enzyme
adrenergic transmission
alpha-beta R
presynaptic autoreceptors
primary -reuptake into nerve terminal - catechol-o-methyl-transferase
uptake to tissue - monoamine oxidase MAO
NE making
Tyrosine - DOPA -dopamine - NE
ANS tone
basal level of activity (basic life function) - parasympathetic or sympathetic
organs with single system control - SNS
adrenal gland- release EP
blood vessels - vasoconstriction - gut, skin - Alpha 1 R
blood vessel - vasodilation - skeletal muscle - beta 2 R
heart rate PNS vs SNS
inc - SNP - beta 1 R by NE
dec - PNS - muscarinic M2 R by Ach
respiratory bronchi SNS vs PNS
SNS - bronchodilation - beta 2 R
PNS - bronchoconstriction -
beta 2 receptor
SNS - dilation of vessel and bronchi
drugs used for myasthenia gravis and Alzheimers
cholinesterase inhibitors
ATROPINE
non-selectiv muscarinic antagonist
M2 receptor
GCPR - activates Gi [inhibitory G protein] - dec cAMP
nicotinic antagonist use
in surgery - intubation - relaxing muscle
beta2-Receptor
treating asthma - dilate bronchi
alpha 2 receptor
feedback inhibition - dec NE release
