Term
Nicotine
MOA
Definition
dose dependant activate/inhibit nicotinic receptors in PNS & CNS. low-activate, high-block
Term
Nicotine
kinetics
Definition
Rapid metabolism
Inhaled:90-98% from lungs enters blood.
Cigar & smokless tobacco absorb primarily in mouth.
Crosses membranes(placenta & breast milk)
Term
Nicotine
effects
Definition
CV:NE from sympathetic & epi from adrenals constrict bl vessels, increase HR, increase force of ventricular contraction= increase BP & increase cardiac work
GI:Parasympathetic activation(increase gastric acid, tone & motility of smoothe muscle)
CNS: stimulant-stimulate respiration, arousal on EEG, tremors, convulsions, increase alertness, facilitates memory, increase cognition, decrease aggression, suppress appetite, DA activates pleasure center
Term

tolerance
