what are adrenergic agents
Adrenergics are a large group of both exogenous (synthetic) and endogenous (naturally occurring) substances.
Stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
Called adrenergic agonist or sympathomimetics
Mimic the effects of the SNS neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine (catecholamines)
what are adrenergic receptors
noreinephrine and epinephrine
where are alpha 1 adrenergic receptors locater
postsynaptic effector ceels
whaere are alpha 2 adrenergic receptors located
presynaptic nerve terminals
where are beta 1 adernergic receptors located
heart
where are bata 2 adrenergic receptors located
bronchioles, arterioles, and visceral organs
where is the synaptic cleft located
nerve ending and the effector organ
what are endogenours adrenergic drugs
:Epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine
what are synthetic adrenergic drugs
isoproterenol, dobutamine, phenylephrine
what are beta 1 adrenergic receptors
adrenergic receptors are on the myocardium and in the conduction system of the heart, the SA node, and the AV node. When the Beta 1-adrenergic receptors are stimulated by an adrenergic drug, and increased force of contraction (positive
what are beta2 adrenergic receptors
produces relaxation of the bonchi (bronchodilation) and uterus, stimulate glycogenolysis and increase renin secretion I
what are respiratory indications
2 –adrenergic receptors affect the bronchial, uterine, and vascular smooth muscles
Some common bronchial dilators are: albuterol, bitolterol, ephedrine, epinephrine, isoproterenol, levalbuterol, terbutaline.
beta 2 are usuful in asthama and bronchitis
what are nasal decongestants indications
affect alpha1-adrenergic receptors
what are ophthalmic indications
work on the vasculature of the eyes and stimulate alpha-adrenergic receptors located on small arterioles in the eye. Reduce ocular pressure
what are the side effects of adrenergic drugs
CNS effects of alpha-adrenergic agents are headache, restlessness, excitement, insomnia, euphoria, hypertension, tachycardia, and palpitations, or dysrhythmias.
Beta-adrenergic agents cause tremors, headache, nervousness, and dizziness, palpitations, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and muscle cramps
Toxic effects are seizures, hypertension, stroke
albuterol
beta adrenergic agonist
many differnt types
epinephrine
adrenergic agonist
