|
|
2 parts of autonomic system
|

|
-Autonomic Nervous System
3 types of cells |
skeletal
cardiac exocrine |
|
Adrenergic Neurotransmitter is
|

|
|

3X |
exocrine
sweat . glands and some blood vessels |
|
norepinephrine released where
|
postganglionic sympathetic fibers at end organ tissues
|
|
norepinephrine Synthesized in the __________ and packaged into vesicles of ____________
|
cytoplasm
vesicles in the sympathetic postganglionic fibers |
|
Norepinephrine -Released by
|
exocytosis
|
|
Norepinephrine terminated by 3 mechanisms
|
1. re uptake of post ganglion nerve endings
2. diffusion from the receptor site 3. metabolism by monamine oxidase and catecholitransferoxidase |
|
Prolonged adrenergic activation leads
|
to desensitization and hyporesponsiveness to further stimulation .
|
|
Adrenergic Receptors divided into two general categories
|
alpha 1 and 2
beta 1 and 2 |
|
Alpha-1 receptors located
|
postsynaptic adrenoreceptors located in smooth muscle
|
|
Alpha-1 receptors postsynaptic adrenoreceptors located in smooth muscle including:
6 places |
eye
lung blood vessels uterus gut GU system |
|
Alpha-1 receptors activation
(how it works) |
increases intracellular calcium ion concentration leading to muscle contraction
|
|
Alpha-1 receptors associated with
5X (smooth muscles constriction) |
mydriasis (excessive dilation of the pupil)
bronchoconstriction vasoconstriction uterine contraction contraction of sphincter in GI and GU |
|
Alpha-1 receptors
and insulin |
Stimulates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis leading to INCREASE in blood glucose levels
(formation and breakdown) |
|
Alpha-1 receptors and myocardium
|
alpha 1 causes vasoconstriction
(biggest response you will see) increases PVR increasing BP |
|
Alpha-2 receptors located on
|
presynaptic nerve terminals
|
|
Alpha-2 receptors when activated
|
decreases the entry of calcium ion into the neuronal terminal, thus limiting subsequent exocytosis of storage vesicles containing Norepinephrine (NE)
|
|
Alpha-2 receptors stimulation
2 things you will see |
sedation
reduces sympathetic outflow (vasodolation and lowering BP) opposite alpha 1 |
|
Beta-1 receptors located
|
postsynaptic membranes in the heart
|
|
Beta-1 receptors activate
|
adenyl cyclase
Converts ATP to cAMP and initiates a kinase phosphorylation cascade |
|
Beta-1 receptor stim
results in |
cardiac stimulation
(increase HR, conduction, contractility) |
|
Beta-2 receptors located
|
postsynaptic adrenoreceptors of smooth muscles and gland cells
|
|
Beta-2 receptors stim
|
relax smooth muscle leading to:
broncodilation vasodilation relaxation of the uterus, bladder, and gut |
|
Beta-2 receptors stim and insulin
|
gIycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and insulin release stimulated I
|
|
Beta·2 receptors activates
pump |
sodium/potassium pump
·this drives K+ intracellular and can induce hypokalemia and dysrhythmias I |
|
Pharmacologic Agents
Sympathomimetics |
facilitate or mimic the SNS
|
|
Pharmacologic Agents
Sympatholytics |
block or reduce the action of SNS
|
|
Adrenergic Agonists interact
|
lnteract with varying specificity at alpha & beta adrenoreceptors
(may overlap which complicate the prediction of the clinical effect) |
|
Direct Agonist
|
binds to receptor
|
|
Direct Agonist
enervation or depletion of NE |
DOES NOT prevent the activity of these drugs
|
|
indirect Agonist
|
increase endogenous neurotransmitter release
|
|
indirect action includes:
|
increased release of NE
decreased reuptake of NE |
|
indirect Agonist:
Denervation or depletion of NE |
BLUNTS the pharmacologic responses
|
|
Diffferentiation between direct and indirect mechanism of action
|
Important in patients who have abnormal endogenous Norepinephrine stores as with some antihypertensive medications or Monamine Oxidase Inhibitors
|
|
Catecholamines short-acting b/c metabolism by:
2X |
monoamine oxidase
catecholomethyltransferase |
|
someone on a MOA inhibitor and have hypotension you treat them with a
|
direct agonist
|
|

|

isoproterenol |
|
MAOi and NE
|

|
|
Tricyclic Antidepressent and NE, serotonin
|
prevent the reuptake of NE and serotonin
|

|
most potent activator of Alpha-adrenergic receptors
