Cards

Term
alpha 1 R =
Definition
contraction
Term
alpha 2 R
Definition
contraction/relaxation
Term
beta 1 R
Definition
relaxation
Term
beta 2 R
Definition
relaxation
Term
m3 R
Definition
contraction
Term
PSNS activates...
Definition
m3 =bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion
Term
SNS releases NA that activates ...
Definition
...alpha 1 R =vasoconstriction
...alpha2 R = inhibit mucous production
... beta 2 R on PSNS ganglia = inhibit PSNS = bronchodilation
...alpha 2 on bv = vasoconstriction
Term
Adr activates...
Definition
...beta 2 R on smooth mm = bronchodilation
...beta 2 R on bvs = vasodilation
Term
3 types of bronchodilators =
Definition
1. adrenoceptor agonists (beta 2 R agonists and Adr)
2. muscarinic R antagonists
3. methylxanthines
Term
beta 2 R agonists cause..
Definition
...smooth mm relaxation, incr ciliary beating and mucolytic action
Term
commonly used beta 2 R agonists=
Definition
terbutaline in cats
salbutamol in dogs and horses
salmeterol
Term
name a banned beta 2 R agonist
Definition
clenbuterol - as was used illegally to incr mm:fat ratio in livestock and clenbuterol residues pose risk to human health
Term
adr stim (as a bronchodilator)...
Definition

...beta2 R in lung = bronchodilation :)

...beta 1 R in heart and bvs=stim heart

...and alpha 1 R in bvs= vasonconstriction :(

Term
when would you use adr as a bronchodilator?
Definition
use acutely in tx of life threatening bronchoconstriction eg anaphylaxis (gd as beta 1 R effects with adr maintains BP in this situation)
Term
admin of adr =
Definition
IV = v fast onset
Term
duration of adr =
Definition
1-2hrs
Term
name 2 adreniceptor agonists used as bronchodilators
Definition
adr and beta 2 agonists
Term
muscarinic R antagonists action =
Definition
inhibit m3 R = inhibit bronchoconstriction and decr mucous secretion
Term
name 3 muscarinic antagonists
Definition
ipratropium
glycopyrrolate
atropine
Term
are muscarinic R antagonists selective to m3?
Definition
no :(
Term
advantage of ipratropium =
Definition
charges - limits distribution and absorption = limits systemic side efefct
Term
admin of ipratropium =
Definition
inhalation
Term
admin of glycopyrrolate =
Definition
IM
Term
admin of atropine =
Definition
IM
Term
what limits muscarinic antagonists duration?
Definition
inhibiton of presynaptic m2 Rs = inhibit negative feedback of ACh = incr ACh which overcomes inhbition of m3 Rs
Term
name 3 methylxanthines
Definition
theophylline
aminophylline
etamphylline
Term
admin of theophylline =
Definition
oral, IV or IM
Term
admin of aminophylline =
Definition
IV
Term
n of etamphylline =
Definition
oral, IM
Term
mech of methylxanthine =
Definition
still unclear... maybe...

...phosphodiesterase inhibition - breakdown cAMP = inhibit MLC Kinase=decr myosin phosporylation = smooth mm relaxation

...or antagonists of adenosine Rs (activation of adenosine Rs = bronchoconstriction in asthmatic animals)
Term
mucolytic drugs mech =
Definition
make mucous less viscous=removal easier from lungs
Term
name 2 mucolytic drugs
Definition
bromhexine
dembrexine
Term
clinical use of bromhexine =
Definition
chronic bronchitis in dogs
bronchopneumonia in cattle
chronic coughing in horses
Term
dembrexine used in what sp?
Definition
horses
Term
expectorants cause
Definition
incr vol of secretions and facilitate removal by ciliary action and coughing (expectoration)

Big doubt whether expectorants actually do anything
Term
name an expectorant
Definition
guaifenesin - stim PSNS = incr brinchial secretions
