Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System
- The autonomic nervous system consists of autonomic neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.
Neurotransmitters
- Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals from one neuron to another.
- Excitatory neurotransmitters encourage a target cell to take action.
- Inhibitory neurotransmitters reduce the activity of the target cell.
Autonomic Nervous System
- The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in maintaining internal homeostasis.
- The autonomic nervous system regulates hormone secretion from glands.
Medications
- Dobutamine is primarily used to support the heart during cardiac failure or shock.
- Dopamine has both dopaminergic, B1, and A1 effects.
- Vasopressin primarily stimulates α-adrenergic receptors and causes vasoconstriction.
- Dobutamine is a selective vasoactive β1-adrenergic drug that increases cardiac output by increasing contractility.
- Phenylephrine works almost exclusively on α-adrenergic receptors and is used for short-term treatment to raise blood pressure in patients who are in shock.
Contraindications and Adverse Effects
- Uncontrolled hypertension is a contraindication for using adrenergic-blocking drugs.
- Bronchial asthma is not a contraindication for A-Blockers.
- B-Blockers can cause bronchospasm as a potential adverse effect.
- Non-selective B-Blockers constrict bronchioles and can result in narrowing of airways and shortness of breath.
- Hypertension is not an indication for B-Blockers.
- Excessive salivation is a potential adverse effect of cholinergic agonists.
Cholinergic Receptors
- Nicotinic cholinergic receptors are located in the ganglia where presynaptic and postsynaptic nerve fibers meet.
- Muscarinic receptors are activated by the parasympathetic nervous system neurotransmitters.
- α1-adrenergic receptors cause vasoconstriction.
- β2-adrenergic receptors cause smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation.
- Sympathomimetic drugs stimulate α- and β-adrenergic receptors.
Direct- and Indirect-Acting Sympathomimetic Drugs
- Direct-acting sympathomimetic drugs act directly on receptors.
- Indirect-acting sympathomimetic drugs release stored neurotransmitters from nerve terminals.

- Donepezil (Aricept) is used to enhance memory and learning capabilities in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
- Atropine is a cholinergic antagonist.
- Levodopa is used to treat Parkinson's disease by decreasing muscle rigidity and tremors.
- Scopolamine is used to prevent motion sickness.
- Atropine is used to reduce salivation and excessive secretions in the respiratory and GI tract.
