This system stimulates during stressfull situations
Sympathetic Nervous System
This system stimulates systems that are needed and inhibits activites that can be delayed
Sympathetic nervous system
This system increases HR, BP, RR and decreases GI activities
Sympathetic nervous system
Name the two parts of the autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
and
Parasympathetic nervous system
This part of the autonomic nervous system inhibits
parasympathetic nervous system
These drugs mimic the effect of epinepherine and norepinepherine
Adrenergic drugs
(think adrenaline)
-Adrenergic
-adrenomimetics
-adrenergic agonists
-sympathomimetics
-catecholamines
Adrenergic drugs
The two groups of adrenergic drugs that are based on their chemical structure
Catecholamine and noncatecholemines
Name two classes of adrenergic blocking durgs
-Alpha adrenergic blocking
-Beta adrenergic blocking
What is the response of an alpha adrenergic agonist?
vasoconstriction and stimulate the CNS
What is the response of a beta adrenergic agonist?
bronchial, gastrointestinal, and uterine smooth muscle relaxation, glycogenesis and cardiac stimulation
Results of an alpha adrenergic blocker....
vasodialation, decreased bp, miosis or constriction of pupils, and suppressed ejaculation.
Result of beta adrenergic blockers....
-reduce BP, HR, force of contractions, cardiac output
-constriction of the bronchials and peripheral vessels
How do beta blockers effect diabetics?
impair glycogenesis and secretion of insulin from the pancreas
Which type of adrenergic blockers widely used?
Beta blockers
Where are beta blockers metabolized?
metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys
Side effects of alpha adrenergic blockers.....
-orthostatic HTN
-bradycardia
-difficulty breathing
-lightheadedness
-flushing
side effects of beta blockers....
-hypotension
-bradycardia
-AV block
-heart failure
-brochospasms
-GI upset
What is cholinesterase?
Drug that breaks down ACH(acetylcholine)
What does ACH (acetylcholine) do?
stimulates the PNS
What is anticholinesterase used for?
inhibits destruction of ACH so ACH can bind the receptors and stimulate the PNS
What do cholinergic drugs do?
imitate parasympathetic nerve stimulation or promote the action of ACH
What are the two classes of cholinergic drugs?
Cholinergic agonist and Anticholinesterase
increase bladder tone and muscle contraction, increase GI activity, constrict pupils(reduce eye pressure), and salivary gland hypofunction
Cholinergic drugs
used properatively to reduce oral, gastric, and respiratory secretions.
Anticholinergic drugs
treat motion sickness, bradycardia, dilate pupils, paralyze cilliary eye muscles
Anticholinergic drugs
Side effects of anticholinergic drugs.....
dry mouth
reduced bronchial secretions
increased heart rate
blurred vision
decreased sweating
Difference between catecholamine and noncatecholamine
-noncatecholamines have a longer duration of action and can be taken po
-catecholemines can not be taken po and are excreted in the kidneys(use cautiously in ESRD)
