Sympathetic Receptors and Their Responses: Nervous System
1) Alpha
NERVOUS SYSTEM
sensitive to epinephrine and
Nervous system is your body's command
center. Originating from your brain, it controls norepinephrine (more sensitive to
your movements, thoughts and automatic Norepinephrine NE)
responses to the world around you. DIVIDED INTO TWO:
Brain Alpha 1
Spinal cord
post synaptic
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM some location are in the liver, urinary
bladder, eyes, and acts upon your blood
PNS – PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
vessel
The peripheral nervous system is divided into two generally, when you are in a fight or fight
main parts: response, your CNS is stimulated
a) Sympathomimetics or;
3) Dopamine Receptors
b) Adrenergics or; - Promotes dilation in:
c) Adrenergic agonists Renal system
Mesenteric (GI)
DRUGS THAT DOES THE OPPOSITE: Cerebral/Cardiac/Coronary
a) Sympatholytics or;
b) Antiadrenergics or;
c) Adrenergic antagonists/blockers
a) Cholinergics or;
b) Parasympathomimetics or;
c) Cholinergic agonists
a) Anticholinergics or;
b) Parasympatholytics or;
c) Cholinergic antagonist/blockers
2) Beta
Beta 1
- Mainly found in the heart
- Increased contractility of the heart
- Increased heart rate
- Increased blood pressure
