Sympathomimetic action
Definition
mimic the activity of the sympathetic nervous system
Term
anticholinergic action
Definition
inhibit the activity of the acetylcholine in parasympathetic nerve fibers by occupying the acetylcholine receptors
Term
direct acting cholinergic action
Definition
stimulate the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system; act on receptors to activate a tissue response
Term
alpha adrenergic blocker action
Definition
inhibit a response at the alpha adrenergic receptor sites

produce greatest effect on the vascular system
Term
selective beta adrenergic blocker action
Definition
less side effects, better for lung patients (affects heart)
Term
beta adrenergic blocker action
Definition

normal stimulation of beta receptors of adrenergic nerves causes increased heart rate beta BLOCKERS:

 

  • Decrease HR & vessels dilate
  • Used primarily for hypertension
  • Bronchial constriction occurs (COPD)
  • Used as ophthalmic drops in the treatment of glaucoma (miosis - constriction)
  • Used for HTN
Term
beta 2 agonist action
Definition
beta 2 neuroreceptors located in lungs, arterioles of skeletal and uterine muscles. agonist would cause stimulation of these nerve fibers.
