True or False

There is no sympathetic innervation on bronchial smooth muscle.
True.

There is only parasympathetic innervation. There are B2 and M3 receptors as well.
What does cholinergic stimulation of the GU system result in?
Contraction of the detrusor muscle and relaxation of the trigone and sphincter muscles.

physostigmine
What is the affect of a muscarinic antagonist on the eye?
dilates the pupil and relaxes ciliary muscles which occludes the canal of Schlemm and raises intraocular pressure

List the depolaring NMB.
succinylcholine
decamethonium
Tropicamide
antimuscarinic
ophthalmic use only
causes mydriasis and cycloplegia
pirenzepine
antimuscarinic - M1 only
used for PUD
Why are antimuscarinics dangerous for children?
in toxic doses they produce hyperthermia
What are the effects of antimuscarinics on the eye?
1.mydriasis because blocking the muscarinic receptors leaves sympathetic stimulation unopposed.
2. cycloplegia because the ciliary muscles are paralysed and unable to accommodate
Effect of antimuscarinics on the respiratory system.
decreased secretions
smooth muscle contraction
Which is better to use for an ophthalmic exam and why?
atropine, cyclopentolate or tropicamide
tropicamide

It produces mydriasis and cycloplegia. It's effects are shorter acting than the others.
Which antimuscarinic is used to treat motion sickness?
scopalamine
What are the clinical uses of NMBs?
adjuncts in surgery
intubation
What is used to reverse NMB?
neostigmine
Which NMBs can NOT be reversed?
succinylcholine
decamethonium
What is a side effect of succinylcholine that is important to note in burn patients or renal patients?
sux causes increased release of potassium and can result in cardiac arrest especially in pts with:
burns
peritoneal infections
renal failure
closed head injury
What hydrolyses succinylcholine?
pseudocholinesterase
What blocks ACh synthesis?
hemicholinium
What blocks vesicular storage of ACh?
vesamicol
What blocks vesicular binding to the membrane for ACh release?
botulinum (presynaptic toxin)
What is Uptake 1?
It is the uptake of NE into the presynaptic terminal where it encounters MAO.
What is uptake 2?
This is the uptake of NE at the postsynaptic terminal. Here it is acted on by COMT
What inhibits dopa synthesis? At what stage?
metyrosine
at tyrosine hydroxylase to convert tyrosine to DOPA

at dopa decarboxylase
What inhibits uptake 1?
