Questions and Correct Answers
What are the different words for adrenergic agents? ✅1. adrenergic agonist
2. sympathomimetic
3. catecholamine
What are the sympathetic receptors? ✅1. alpha 1
2. alpha 2
3. beta 1
4. beta 2
What are the inactivating enzymes for the parasympathetic nervous system?
✅acetylcholinesterase (AChE)- in synaptic cleft
What are the inactivation enzymes for the sympathetic nervous system? ✅Monoamine
oxidase (MAO) -in mitochondria
What are parasympathetic neurotransmitters synthesized from? ✅acetyl CoA + choline
What are sympathetic neurotransmitters synthesized from? ✅tyrosine
What are the neurotransmitters for the parasympathetic nervous system? ✅ACh
What are the neurotransmitters for the sympathetic nervous system? ✅Epinephrine
and norepinephrine (NE is strongest)
What are the parasympathetic receptor types? ✅nicotinic and muscarinic choinergic
What are the different names for adrenergic blockers? ✅1. adrenergic antagonists
2. sympatholytics
3. adrenomemetics
What are the different names for cholinergic agents? ✅1. cholinergic agonist
2. parasympathomimetic agent
3. muscarinic agonsit
What are the different names for anticholinergic agents? ✅1. parasympatholytics
2. cholinergic blocking agents
, What do muscarinic receptors work on? ✅A receptor that stimulates smooth muscle
and slows HR
What do nicotinic receptors work on? ✅A receptor that affects skeletal muscle
Are cholinergic agents selective to a specific receptor? ✅it depends but in the most
part many cholinergic agents are nonselective and affect both receptors.
What function do alpha 1 receptors have? ✅they are a receptor that causes
vasoconstriction of blood vessels which in turn causes increased blood return to the
heart, increased circulation, and increased blood pressure.
What function do alpha 2 receptors have? ✅they are a receptor that inhibits the
release of norepinephrine presynaptically which in turn causes a decrease in
vasoconstriction and increases blood pressure.
What function do beta 1 receptors have? ✅They are a receptor located on the heart
that causes the heart to increase its rate and force of contraction.
What function do beta 2 receptors have? ✅they are a receptor that causes smooth
muscle relaxation in the bronchi (concentrated in the lungs and leads to
bronchodilation), uterus, peripheral blood vessels
What drug classification is albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) a part of? ✅Adrenergic agents
What drug classification is clonidine (catapres) a pare of? ✅adrenergic agents
What drug classification is dopamine (Intropin) a part of? ✅adrenergic agents
What drug classification is epinephrine (adrenalin, Sus-phrine) a part of? ✅adrenergic
agents
What drug classification is isoproterenol (isuprel) a part of? ✅adrenergic agents
What drug classification is levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) a part of? ✅adrenergic
agents
What drug classification is norepinephrine (levophed) a part of? ✅adrenergic agents
What drug classification is phenylephrine (Neo-synephrine) a part of? ✅adrenergic
agents
What drug classification is atenolol (tenormin) a part of? ✅adrenergic blockers
