where are nicotinic N receptors
all autonomic nervous system ganglia and the adrenal medulla
what happens when nicotinic N is activated
stimulation of parasympathetic and sympathetic POST GANGLIONIC nerves and release of EPI from the adrenal medulla
where is nicotinic M located
neuromuscular junction (skeletal muscle)
what happens when Nicotinic M is activated
contraction of skeletal muscle
Where are muscarinic receptors
all parasympathetic target organs and eye, heart, lung, bladder, GI tract, sex organs, blood vessels
what happens when muscarinic receptors are activated
meiosis, desreased heart rate, constriction of bronchi, , contraction of detrussor, salivation, defecation, increased GI motility, erection, vasodilation
adrenergic receptor subtypes
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
alpha 1 location
eye, arterioles, veins, male sex organs, bladder,
alpha 2 location
presynaptic nerve terminals (usually in CNS)
response to activating Alpha 1
mydriasis, arterioles of skin, viscera, and mucous membrane constriction, ejaculation, contraction of prostate, contraction of bladder
activation of alpha 2
inhibition of transmitter release
Where are Beta 1 receptors
heart, kidney
what happens when Beta 1 receptors are activated
increased heart rate, force of contraction, AV conduction, renin release
Where are Beta 2 receptors
arterioles of the heart, lung, skeletal muscle, bronchi, uterus, liver, skeletal muscle
What happens when Beta 2 receptors are activated
dilation of arterioles in heart, lung, and skeletal muscle. bronchi dilation, uterous relaxation, glycogenolysis, enhanced contraction of skeletal muscle
Where are dopamine receptors
kidney
what happens when dopamine receptors are activated
dilation of kidney casculature (to enhance circulation through kidney)
Basic mechanisms of adrenergic receptor activation (4)
1. direct receptor binding
2. promotion of NorEpi release
3. Inhibition of NorEpi reuptake
4. inhibition of NorEpi inactivation
Amphetamines are..
adrenergic agonist (promote NorEpi release)
Cocaine is
adrenergic agonist inhibits norepi reuptake so there is more around the synaptic gap and it stays around longer
types of adrenergic agonists
catecholamines and non-catecholamines
types of catecholamines
NorEpi, Epi, Dopamine (all endogenous)
types of non catecholamines
ephedrine, phenylephrine
oral usability of catecholamines
not possible, will get broken down by first pass effect
oral usability of non catecholamines
can give orally
duration of catecholamines
short, 2-3 minutes
duration of non-catecholamines
2-3 hours
action on the CNS by either catecholamines or non catecholamines
both are polar and do not cross the BBB
When a Beta 1 receptor is targeted what else may be affected
Beta 2 receptor --spill over affect
Specificity if receptor in reference to dosing
The higher the dose, the less specificity
therapeutic applications of alpha 1 receptor activation
*hemostasis (vasoconstriction if you're bleeding to death...)
*elevation of blood pressure
*mydriasis
*nasal decongestion
*adjunct to local anesthesia
how do alpha 1 receptors affect local anesthesia
allow for a lower dose...
Epi constricts vessels, which means the anesthetic stays around longer and this decreases the amount needed
how to alpha 1 receptors help with nasal decongestion
when congested vessels in the nose are dilated. alpha 1 agonist -->restricts vessels, so no more runny nose
adverse effects of Alpha 1 receptor activation
*hypertension (vasoconstriction of the periphery, so more blood moves to the core
*necrosis--long term (a few days) vasoconstriction of the periphery can result in the loss of toes
*Reflex Bradycardia--the direct hypertension tells the baroreceptors to slow down = decrease in heart rate
clinical consequences of alpha 2 receptor activation
*inhibit the release of NorEpi
*no clinical application in periphery
therapeutic application of Beta 1 receptors
*cardiac arrest
*heart failure
*shock
*AV block
Negative Effects of too much Beta 1 activation
*angina= not enough O2 to heart= chest pain
*cause arrhythmia
*can increase heart size over time
therapeutic application of Beta 2 receptor activation
*asthma -bronchodilation
*delay of preterm labor (tiger=no baby)
negative side effects of Beta 2 receptor activation
*hyperglycemia--extra breakdown of glucose can be a big problem in diabetics
*tremor--because of skeletal muscles
*possibly tachycardia as a result of bleed over to Beta 1
therapeutic uses of dopamine receptor activation
*dilates renal vasculature
*enhances cardiac performance--(usually used with Epi, not as effective as Epi)
signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock
hypotension, bronchial constriction, edema of glottis
treatment for anaphypactic shock
Epi
examples of adrenergic agonists
epinephrine, NorEpi, dopamine, isoproterenol, dobutamine, ephedrine, phenylephrine
what to adrenergic antagonists do? (general answer)
direct blockade of adrenergic receptors
two major groups of adrenergic receptors
Alpha and Beta --both adrenergic blocking agents
therapautic applications of alpha adrenergic antagonists
therapautic applications of alpha adrenergic antagonists

*essential hypertension
*benign prostatic hyperplasia
*pheochromocytoma (catecholine secreting tumor on adrenal medualla)
*raynauds disease
*reversal of toxicity from alpha 1 agonists
selectivity of alpha adrenergic blocking agents
selectivity of alpha adrenergic blocking agents


can be selective or non selective depending on the drug

*Phentolamine is non selective and blocks alpha 1 and 2

*Prazosin is selective and blocks only alpha 1 (this one is better because it is selective, but we continue to use the nonselective drug because it is cheaper, money before health..right?)
adverse affects of alpha adrenergic blockades
adverse affects of alpha adrenergic blockades

*orthostatic hypotension
*reflex tachycardia (due to baroreceptors)
*nasal congestion
*inhibition of ejaculation (because it needs vasoconstriction)
therapautic applications of beta adrenergic blockade drugs
therapautic applications of beta adrenergic blockade drugs

*angina pectoris
*hypertension (reduce heart rate)
*cardias dysrhythmias
*myocardial infarction
