Drug Affects
Drugs Afffection the Sympathetic Nervous System
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Alpha-1 Adrenergic receptors | receptor located on smooth muscle that mediates smooth muscle contraction |
Alpha-2 Adrenergic receptors | receptor located on adrenergic nerve endings that reduces the release of NE |
Beta-Adrenergic receptors | Found on cardiac and some smooth muscle |
beta-1 receptors | prodominant beta-receptors of the heart |
beta-2 receptors | predominant beta-receptors of smooth muscle of some organs and tissues |
sympatholytics | action of an adrenergic drug or action that increases sympathetic activity |
alpha-adrenergic drugs | drug that stimulates the alpha adrenergic receptors |
selective beta-2 adrenergic drugs | drug that stimulates on beta-2 receptors at therapeutic doses |
alpha-1 adrenergic blockers | Drug that block the alpha-1 effects of NE and EPI |
nonselective beta-adrenergic blockers | drug that stimulates both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors |
selective beta-1 adrenergic blockers | drug that blocks only beta-1 receptors |
adrenergic neuronal blockers | reduces the formation or rlease of NE by acting at the neruronal nerve endings |
