Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

Name the 2 types of cholinergic receptors

Back (Answer)

• Nicotinic - Muscarinic

#2
Front (Question)

State the main locations for nicotinic receptors

Back (Answer)

• Smooth muscle • Cardiac muscle and glands • Sweat glands • Skeletal muscle • Blood vessels

#3
Front (Question)

State the main locations for muscarinic receptors

Back (Answer)

• Cells of adrenal nerves - Neuromuscular end plates of skeletal muscles

#4
Front (Question)

Name the neurotransmitter that is affiliated with cholinergic receptors

Back (Answer)

Acetylcholine binds with BOTH Nicotinic and Muscarinic receptors

#5
Front (Question)

State the section of the ANS (autonomic nervous system) that would be affected by medications that either stimulate or inhibit cholinergic receptors?

Back (Answer)

Parasympathetic Nervous System

#6
Front (Question)

Describe the effect of administering an agonist medication on cholinergic receptors

Back (Answer)

Stimulate the parasympathetic response

#7
Front (Question)

Describe the effect of administering an antagonist medication on cholinergic receptors

Back (Answer)

Block the parasympathetic response

#8
Front (Question)

Name the 4 adrenergic receptors

Back (Answer)

• Alpha 1 • Alpha 2 • Beta 1 • Beta 2

#9
Front (Question)

State the main locations for Alpha 1 receptors

Back (Answer)

• Vascular smooth muscle (blood vessels) • Pupils • Heart

#10
Front (Question)

State the main locations for alpha 2 receptors

Back (Answer)

• Smooth muscle • Platelets • Presynaptic adrenergic nerve terminals • Cholinergic nerve terminals

#11
Front (Question)

State the main location for Beta 1 receptors

Back (Answer)

Heart

#12
Front (Question)

State the main locations for Beta 2 receptors

Back (Answer)

• Bronchial smooth muscle • Heart • Uterus

#13
Front (Question)

Name the 2 hormones that will activate adrenergic receptors

Back (Answer)

Adrenaline and Noradrenaline

#14
Front (Question)

What section of the ANS would be affected by medications that either stimulate or inhibit adrenergic receptors?

Back (Answer)

Sympathetic nervous system

#15
Front (Question)

Describe the effect of administering an agonist medication on adrenergic receptors

Back (Answer)

Mimic sympathetic stimulation therefore producing the same effects of sympathetic stimulation

#16
Front (Question)

Describe the effect of administering an antagonist medication on adrenergic receptors

Back (Answer)

• Binds to receptors and blocks them, preventing the hormone (or neurotransmitter) from exerting an effect

#17
Front (Question)

What are the 2 sections of the Autonomic Nervous System?

Back (Answer)

• Sympathetic Nervous System - Parasympathetic Nervous System

#18
Front (Question)

What does the Sympathetic nervous system promote?

Back (Answer)

Promotes flight or fight response

#19
Front (Question)

What does the parasympathetic nervous system promote?

Back (Answer)

Promotes rest & digest response

#20
Front (Question)

What does ANtagonist mean?

Back (Answer)

Substance that binds to and blocks a receptor thereby preventing a natural neurotransmitter or hormone form having an effect.

#21
Front (Question)

What does AGonist mean?

Back (Answer)

Substance that binds to and activates a receptor (mimicking the effect of a natural neurotransmitter or hormone)

#22
Front (Question)

What are Sympathomimetic drugs?

Back (Answer)

Mimic the effects of stimulation by the sympathetic nervous system e.g. adrenaline and noradrenaline

#23
Front (Question)

What are Sympatholytic drugs?

Back (Answer)

Compete at receptor sites to inhibit adrenergic sympathetic stimulation e.g. beta blockers

#24
Front (Question)

What do adrenergic drugs produce?

Back (Answer)

• Produce effects similar to those produced by the sympathetic nervous system • The effect produced by the drug depends on the type of receptor activated and by the number of affected receptors in the tissue
