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) |
