PNS NEUROTRANSMITTER
pre and post acetylcholine
ratio 1 : 1
PNS RECEPTOR
NICOTINIC
-all autonomic ganglion cells
-adrenal medulla
-neurotransmitter junction
PNS RECEPTOR
MUSCARINIC
-all effector organs innervated by post ganglionic
SNS NEUROTRANSMITTER
-preganglionic - acetylcholine
-postganglionic - norepinephrine (except sweat glands)
ratio 1: 20
SNS RECEPTOR
ALPHA
-excitatory (except in GI tract where inhibitory)
SNS RECEPTOR
BETA
-inhibitory (except in heart where excitatory)
SNS RECEPTOR
BETA 1 AND BETA 2
B1 - cardiac
B2 - bronchi and blood vessels
EFFERENT SIGNALS
-signals travel through sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers
SYMPATHETIC FIBERS
central
PARASYMPATHETIC FIBERS
cervical and sacral (mostly cranial nerves)
PREGANGLIONIC FIBERS IN BOTH PNS AND SNS
-cholinergic
(acetylcholine)
POSTGANGLIONIC FIBERS IN PNS
-cholinergic
MOST POSTGANGLIONIC FIBERS IN SNS
-adrenergic
(norepinephrine)
some are cholinergic
RECEPTORS FOR ACh
(MUSCARINIC)
-effector cells stimulated by the post ganglionic neurons in BOTH the SNS and PNS
NICOTINIC RECEPTORS
-found in the synapses between the pre and post ganglionic neurons of both the SNS and PNS
NOREPINEPHRINE
mainly stimulates the alpha receptors and in a lesser way the beta receptors
EPINEPHRINE
stimulates both alpha and beta receptors equally
SNS AGONIST AND WHAT IT DOES
epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dobutamine
-raises blood pressure, increases HR, and contractility
fight or flight response
ALPHA 1 RECEPTOR
AGONIST (+), ANTAGONIST (-) AND ACTION
+epinephrine and norepinephrine
(-) prazosin
ACTION- vasoconstriction (raises BP), intestinal relaxation, pupillary dilation
ALPHA 2 RECEPTOR (+), (-), AND ACTION
(+) clonidine
(-) Yohimbine
ACTION - Blocks the presynaptic release of NE from adrenergic (SNS) nerves, has a sympathetic action on the brainstem
BETA 1 RECEPTOR (+), (-), AND ACTION
(+) E and NE
(-) Metoprolol
ACTION - cardiac stimulation (^ HR and contractility) lipolysis
BETA 2 RECEPTOR (+), (-), AND ACTION
(+) E > NE
(-) non selective beta blockers
ACTION - vasodilation and bronchodilation
DOPAMINE 1 RECEPTOR (+), (-), AND ACTION
(+) Dopamine
(-) Phenothiazines, and thioxanthenes
ACTION - vasodilation of renal coronary, and cerebral vasc beds
DOPMINE 2 RECEPTOR (+), (-) ACTION
(+) Dopamine
(-) Haloperidol
ACTION - Inhibits transmission in SNS ganglia and NE release from SNS nerve endings
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (+), (-), ACTION
(+) ACh, bethanechol, cholinesterase inhibitors (physotigmine, edrophonium, neostigmine)
(-) atropine and scopolamine
ACTION - Cardiac effects - through the vagus nerve
ACh slows HR and conduction through the AV node
(little direct reg of contractility and PVR)
-Non cardiac effects - increase GI and GU motility and relaxation of sphincters
- bronchoconstriction, and increase bronchial secretions
