α2-receptors are located where?
action? |
* pre-synaptic nerve endings
* post-synaptically on beta cells of pancreas * inhibitory |
|
on post-synaptic membrane of the effector organ
|
α1-receptors
|
|
Equal affinity for epinephrine and nor-epinephrine
|
β1-receptors
|
|
Where are β1-receptors located?
|
Heart, juxta glomerular apparatus of kidney, fat cells
|
|
When epinephrine binds β1-receptors, what effect does it have on heart rate?
On contractability? On cardiac output? |
* Increased
* Increased * Increased |
|
When NORepinephrine binds β1-receptors, what effect does it have on (1) heart rate?
(2) On contractability? (3) On cardiac output? |
(1) decreased HR
(2) increased contractability (+ ionotrophic) (3) incr. cardiac output |
|
Where are β2-receptors located?
|
β2-receptors locations:
Blood vessels of SK. muscle, liver for glycogenesis*, smooth muscles of <<bronchus>>, urogenital tract system and uterus* and CORONARY ARTERY * only places stimulation happen (not relax/inhibition) w/β2 |
|
Which receptor is activated through G-protein activation of phopholipase C?
|
α1-receptors
|
|
When α2 receptors are stimulated what happens?
Exceptions? Where? (4) |
Causes feedback INHIBITION of release of norepinephrine
Generally promotes SEDATION, but in uterus (when bound by NE) and in blood vessels of skin, mucosa, splanchnic, renal - it promotes constriction. |
|
Receptors on blood vessels of skin and kidney and splanchnic area?
Epinephrine causes ? NE causes? |
α1, α2
Constriction Constriction |
|
Receptors on blood vessels of skeletal muscle and coronary artery?
Binding of epinephrine causes ? NE? |
β2
dilatation Dilatation |
|
Epinephrine affect on:
Systsolic pressure? Diastolic pressure? |
++
- |
|
Nor-epinephrine
Systsolic pressure? Diastolic pressure? |
+++
++ |
|
receptors for
GIT Motility and tone sphincter |
α1α1, α2, β2
E: relaxation of smooth muscle and contraction of sph. NE: relaxation of smooth muscle and contraction of sph. |
|
Receptors in Smooth muscle of
BRONCHIAL muscle? E: NE: |
β2
Relaxation Relaxation |
|
Receptors in Smooth muscle of
Uterus? E: NE: |
α1, α2, β2
E: Relaxation NE: Contraction |
|
What is the rank order of potency for alpha receptors?
|
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine Isoproterenol |
|
What type of receptors are present in the blood vessels of skeletal muscles, liver, and smooth muscles of bronchus, urogenital system (bladder) and uterus and have a higher affinity for epinephrine over norepinephrine?
|
β2 {EPI>NE}
|
|
Dextrusor muscle
|
SMOOTH OF BLADDER
contracts when urinating to squeeze out urine. Otherwise, it remains relaxed to allow the bladder to fill. Related are the urethral sphincter muscles |
|
receptors for Dextrusor muscle
E: NE: |
β2
E: Relaxation (so holding onto urine) NE: none |
|
receptors for urethral sphincter muscles
E: NE: |
α1:
E: Contraction?? check this NE: Contraction |
|
At medium-high doses what receptor does dopamine interact with?
To what end? What is effector organ? |
B1 receptors, exerts positive inotropic effect on myocardium
|
|
At very high concentrations what receptor does dopamine interact with?
|
Alpha1 adrenergic receptors, vasoconstriction
|
|
What effect does dopamine have on the body at low concentrations?
|
Increases GFR
Increases renal blood flow Increases Na excretion |
|
At low concentrations what receptor does dopamine interact with?
|
D1-dopaminergic receptors
|
|
So which catecholamine has strong effect on blood pressure:
- epinephrine or norepinephrine? |
norepinephrine>epinephrine
(in fact epi. reduces diastolic pressure) |
|
Only receptor that doesn't prefer epinephrine?
|
β1-receptors
equal affinity for epinephrine and nor-epinephrine |
