Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System
- The parasympathetic component of the autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate, respiratory rate, and digestion.
Cholinergic Drugs
- Cholinergic drugs promote the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
- Examples of cholinergic drugs include physostigmine and neostigmine.
Anticholinergic Drugs
- Anticholinergic drugs block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
- Examples of anticholinergic drugs include atropine and scopolamine.
Adrenergic Drugs
- Adrenergic drugs are used to treat disorders of the autonomic nervous system by promoting the action of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
- Examples of adrenergic drugs include phenylephrine and epinephrine.
Adrenergic Blocking Drugs
- Adrenergic blocking drugs are used to treat disorders of the autonomic nervous system by blocking the action of norepinephrine.
- Examples of adrenergic blocking drugs include phentolamine and propranolol.
