sympathetic nervous system

What receptors are being stimulated that cause bronchi to dilate? - ANSWER: Beta2-adrenergic
receptors

atenolol is thought to contribute to the development of which condition and why? - ANSWER:
Hyperglycemia, by impairing the release of insulin from the pancreatic beta-cell

What are the effects of carvedilol? - ANSWER: Acting as a:
-nonselective beta-blocker
-An Alpha1-blocker
-A calcium channel blocker (at high doses)
-possibly an antioxidant

What is the strength of carvedilol stimulation on beta receptors compared to alpha1 receptors? -
ANSWER: its action on beta receptors is 10 times stronger than that on alpha1 receptors

carvedilol is used for the treatment of - ANSWER: Heart failure
Hypertension
Angina

Cardioselective beta-blockers such as carvedilol, have a more favourable effect on - ANSWER: glucose
and cholesterol control

esmolol - ANSWER: Strong, short-acting beta1 blocker.

Esmolol is used for? - ANSWER: to provide rapid temporary control of the ventricular rate with
supraventricular tachydysrhythmias

-They have a much lower incident of dry mouth, in part because of their pharmacological specificity

At recommended dosages, cholinergic drugs primarily affect the - ANSWER: muscarinic receptors

At high dosages, cholinergic drugs affect the - ANSWER: nicotinic receptors

The desired effect of cholinergic drugs comes from the stimulation of - ANSWER: muscarinic receptors
