BPS 321 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Artificial Cardiac Pacemaker, Orciprenaline, Semisynthesis
Document Summary
Noradrenaline (norepinepherine, ne) as terminal neurotransmitter (@ neuro-effector junction cardiac. + smooth muscle: corresponding receptors are either or adrenergic receptors, exception: sns utilizes ach as the terminal neurotransmitter when innervating sweat glands. Target receptors on sweat glands are machr (m-receptors: sympathetic stimulation (with ach) of. Chromaffin cells in adrenal medulla release adrenaline (epinephrine, epi) into blood circulation. Mineralo-corticoid: corticosteroid hormone synthesized by adrenal cortex (aldosterone is main one- important for regulation of salt + water in body) All pre-ganglionic ans nerves are cholinergic: they release ach @ ganglionic synapse or onto adrenal chromaffin cells. When ach is released by preganglionic nerves, depolarization of postganglionic nerves occurs as result of activation of nachr or m1-machr (both receptors on postganglionic nerve) Distribution of autonomic nerotransmitters + receptors: don"t worry about dopamine/renal. Summary: short preganglionic fibers, release ach binds to nachr receptor on postganglionic nerve, long postganglionic fibers, release norepinepherine binds to or adrenergic receptors, stimulatory.
