Study Notes
Cholinergic Synapses and Receptors: Key Points
- Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for impulse transmission at cholinergic synapses/junctions.
- Cholinergic neurons are present in the first-line neurons of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
- Exceptions include sympathetic neurons innervating eccrine sweat glands and some innervating skeletal muscle vessels.
- Cholinergic receptors include nicotinic receptors, which are ion channel receptors, and muscarinic receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors.
- The synthesis, storage, release, action, and inactivation of acetylcholine follow a specific process at cholinergic synapses.
- Nicotinic receptors at different locations, such as the neuromuscular junctions and autonomic ganglia, are of distinct types and can be selectively blocked or activated by specific substances.
- Muscarinic receptors include M1, M2, and M3 types, and their locations and effects vary in different tissues and organs.
- Cholinomimetic drugs directly or indirectly activate muscarinic and/or nicotinic cholinergic receptors, mimicking the action of acetylcholine in target cells.
- Parasympathomimetic drugs directly activate muscarinic receptors, producing effects similar to those of parasympathetic nerve stimulation.
- Anticholinesterases inhibit acetylcholinesterase, causing acetylcholine to accumulate at cholinergic junctions, leading to parasympathomimetic and nicotinic effects.
- Cholinomimetic drugs replicate the effects of parasympathetic stimulation by activating muscarinic receptors in effector cells.
- Overall, the text provides a comprehensive overview of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, cholinergic synapses, receptors, and the pharmacological implications of cholinomimetic drugs.
