Peripheral Nervous system 2 parts
afferent

efferent
Peripheral Efferent system
2 parts
Somatic Nervous System

Autonomic Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System controls
skeletal muscle
Autonomic Nervous System controls
homeostasis
2 parts of autonomic system
SNS

PNS
-Autonomic Nervous System
3 types of cells
skeletal

cardiac

exocrine
Adrenergic Neurotransmitter is
Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine responsible for most Adrenergic activity of the SNS with the exception of
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
patient taking Monamine Oxidase inhibitor or Tricyclic Antidepressant may demonstrate
exaggerated response to catecholamines .
3 naturally occurring Catecholamines
epinephrine
norephinephrine
dopamine
2 synthetic catecholamines
dobutamine

isoproterenol
MAOi and NE
prevent the breakdown
Tricyclic Antidepressent and NE, serotonin
prevent the reuptake of NE and serotonin
Epinephrine -released from
adrenal medula
Epinephrine natural functions include:
5X
myocardial contractility
HR
vascular and bronchial smooth muscle tone
glandular secretion
metabolic process (glycogenelysis and lipolysis)
most potent activator of Alpha-adrenergic receptors
Epinephrine
2-10x more active than NE .
Epinephrine direct stimulation of

receptor?
beta-1 receptors

alpha-1

beta-2
Epinephrine clinical doses
Principal pharmacologic treatment for:

3X
anaplyxis

vfib

prolong duration of local anesthetics
Epinephrine Dosage
emergency (shock, allergic reaction)
-IV bolus 0.5-1.0 mg, q 3-5min
Epinephrine
continuous infusion
-Rate of 2-20 mcg/min
Norepinephrine
alpha vs beta
alpha greater than beta
Norepinephrine is a
receptor type
Direct alpha-1
Intense arterial and venous vasoconstriction :
Norepinephrine and CO
May contribute to increase in BP, but elevated afterload and reflex bradycardia prevent elevation in CO
Norepinephrine clinical uses:

may be also used with
to Increase B/P

used with an alpha blocker (phentolamine) to take advantage of beta activity without profound vasoconstriction
Norepinephrine dosage Infusion
rate of 2-20 mcg/min
Norepinephrine Bolus
