Objective #1 Review of Nervous System

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

Nervous System Primary function: control & coordinate the activity of all the systems

in the body Elaborate system that functions in both conscious and unconscious

levels 2 subdivisions

1) CNS Brain & spinal cord oReceive information from afferent nervesoInitiates appropriate responses via efferent nerves

2) PNS: Peripheral Nervous System (next slide) 12 pairs cranial nerves, 31 pairs spinal nerves 2 subdivisions: somatic & visceral based on the type of

muscle to which these nerves innervate

PNS Subdivisions PNS

1. Somatic Division Branches of cranial & spinal motor nerves that innervate

skeletal muscle CONSCIOUS CONTROL

2. Visceral Division (ANS): this chapter covers Visceral nerves are the branches of the cranial and spinal

motor nerves that innervate cardiac & smooth muscle (involuntary) internal organs & glands

UNCONSCIOUS CONTROL Nerves regulated by hypothalamus & medulla oblongata Visceral nerves commonly called ANS 2 subdivisions: Parasympathetic & Sympathetic

Objective #2: ANS

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS Function: regulate organs (either ↑ or ↓ their activity)

ALL organs have PANS & SANS receptors Practice of medicine and dentistry greatly benefitted from the

understanding of the ANS Relies on neurotransmitters (NTs) & receptors to cause a response NT: synthesized in the neuron & stored in axon

When an AP occurs – NT released into synapse – eventually bind to target organs in the body

Results in either excitation or inhibition of the organNT removed: degradation by enzymes, or through “reuptake” NT used in ANS: Norepi, ACHOther NT’s: epi, dopamine, serotonin, GABA

Referred to as catecholamines

ANS Receptors

Receive NTs from axon terminalsLocated on the dendrites of POSTganglionic neurons

or smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS Divisions

1. PANS: parasympathetic autonomic nervous system Also known as the craniosacral division

2. SANS: sympathetic autonomic nervous system Also known as the thoracolumbar division

Most organs receive a nerve from each divisionException: blood vessels do NOT receive PANS

○ Why BP is controlled by SANS drugs & not PANS drugs

○ Decrease stimulation = vasodilation○ Increase stimulation = vasoconstriction

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS: PANS Active during periods of rest & restoration of body

energy stores Increase body functions (ex: digestion, waste

elimination) When PANS activated: only select nerves can be

stimulated (unlike SANS) and confined to particular body systemsEx: urination

PANS

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS: SANS Innervates blood vessels (PANS does not) When SANS engaged, the whole body is stimulated (unlike PANS) Fight-or-Flight

Adrenal medulla releases epi, some norepi into blood

↓Catecholamines act as hormones

↓Travel to all sympathetic receptors

↓Produce intense stimulation

↓Increase activity: heart rate, bronchodilationDecrease activity: GI and urinary tracts

SANS

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS: PANS vs SANSMajority of time: actions produced are opposites

SANS stimulates radial smooth muscles → increase in pupil size (dilation)○ Dilated pupils are termed mydriasis

PANS stimulates circular smooth muscles → decrease in pupil size○ Constricted pupils are termed myosis

Objective #3ANS Anatomy Review

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

ANS: Anatomy ReviewPeripheral motor (efferent) nerves

Branches of nerves that travel from brain/spinal column to organs

Neurons that emerge from the spinal column are called PREGANGLIONIC NERVE FIBERS

Neurons that travel from the ganglion to the organs are called POSTSYNAPTIC NERVE FIBERS

SYNAPSE: space between the preganglionic and postganglionic fibers

ANS: Anatomy Review

Main pharmacological difference between PANS & SANS is the NT released from nerve endings

PANS: ACH, ACH SANS: ACH, Norepinephrine

Nerves that release ACH = cholinergic nerveNerves that release Norepi = adrenergic nerve

ANS: Anatomy ReviewSummary

Effects of SANS produced by1) Norepi released from adrenergic nerve endings

2) Epi released from the adrenal medulla

○ Both norepi & epi stimulate adrenergic receptorsEffects of PANS produced when ACH which binds to

cholinergic receptors○ 2 main types of cholinergic receptors (both stimulated by

ACH)

1. Muscarinic: Located POSTganglionic junction PANS

2. Nicotinic: Located PREganglionic junction PANS & SANS

ANS: Anatomy Review

Cholinergic Receptors

1. Muscarinic Located on cell membranes of visceral organs and

glands (PANS innervated) – stimulated by ACH released from POSTGANGLIONIC nerve endings

2. Nicotinic: 2 types receptors (nerve & muscle)

1) Nn: on both PANS and SANS ganglion & stimulated from ACH released from PREGANGLIONIC nerve endings to conduct impulses across autonomic ganglion to POSTGANGLIONIC fibers of both divisions (see next slide)

2) Nm: Part of Somatic, not ANS (skeletal muscles)

ANS: Anatomy ReviewAdrenergic Receptors (SANS): divided into alpha(α) & beta (β) receptors

α Receptor Locations Action

Alpha-1 smooth muscles ( GI system, sweat glands, eye)

Vasoconstriction arteries/veinsContract eye muscles

Alpha-2 POSTganglionic neurons

Called autoreceptors

↓ release norepi↓ BP↓ secretion insulin↓ eye secretion

ANS: Anatomy Review

Adrenergic Receptors (SANS): divided into alpha(α) & beta (β) receptors

β Receptor Locations Action

Beta-1 Cardiac tissue Positive chronotrophic effects (↑ heart rate)Positive inotropic effects (↑ contractibility/strength)

Beta-2 Smooth muscle of bronchioles, skeletal muscles, blood vessels of heart/kidney

BronchodilationVasodilation

ANS: General Rules for α & β1. α-receptor activation = generally excitatory or

stimulating (vasoconstriction, uterine contraction) EXCEPT intestinal relaxation

2. β-receptor activation generally inhibitory/relaxing EXCEPT heart which stimulates

3. Epi released by adrenal medulla – activates both α and β but more potent on β-2 (higher affinity for those receptors)

4. Norepi acts on ALL α and only some β. Chiefly a vasoconstrictor.

5. β-1 predominate in the heart & blood vessels

Autonomic Drugs

All drugs are either agonist or antagonist @ cholinergic & adrenergic receptors

AGONISTSympathomimetic / Parasympathomimetic

ANTAGONISTSympatholytic / Parasympatholytic

Certain ANS drugs are used in dentistryVasoconstrictors added to local anesthetic Drugs used to ↑ or ↓ salivary flow

AUTONOMIC DRUGS

PANSCholinergic (Parasympathomimetic) Agents P+Anticholinergic (Parasympatholytic/Cholinergic P-

blockers) Agents SANS

Adrenergic (Sympathomimetic) Agents S+

Adrenergic Blocking (Sympatholytic/ S- Sympathetic blockers) Agents

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

Autonomic Drugs: p.36-384 drug groups of the ANS

1. A drug that stimulates the PANS is called P+ (cholinergic or parasympathomimetic)

2. A drug that blocks the PANS is called P– (anticholinergic, parasympatholytic, or cholinergic blockers)

3. A drug that stimulates the SANS is called S+ (sympathomimetic or adrenergic)

4. A drug that blocks the SANS is called S– (adrenergic blockers, sympathetic blockers, or sympatholytic)

Objective #5PANS Drugs

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

PANS DRUGS: p.38-43

1. Cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agents○ Produce the effects of PANS (see handout)

2. Anticholinergic (parasympatholytic) agents○ Produce effects opposite the PANS (see handout)

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

PANS: General Inactivation of ACH

Achieved through hydrolysis by certain enzymes (this occurs quickly so the effects of ACH last only a few seconds)

1. Enzyme located in the area of the cholinergic receptor – ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE (yields metabolites of choline & acetic acid)

2. Enzyme PSEUDOCHOLINESTERASE is located in liver & plasma that can hydrolyze ACH

Ex: Botox: inhibits the release of ACH from the cholinergic nerve ending to produce paralysis of skeletal muscle – only lasts 3mo

PANS 1. Cholinergic Agents

Cholinergic agents are classified 2 ways:

1. Direct acting Bind to muscarinic/cholinergic receptor to produce

effects similar to those of ACH

2. Indirect acting (cholinesterase inhibitors) Inhibit enzyme acetylcholinesterase to produce effects

similar to those of ACH

PANS 1. Cholinergic Agents

1. Direct acting Not useful drugs because of its extremely short duration of

action Actions: see handout for heart, kidney, GI, eye effects Ex: Pilocarpine (stimulate saliva, decrease intraocular

pressure)

2. Indirect actingWhen cholinesterase enzyme deactivates in the synaptic gap

– then ACH can build up because the enzyme is not there to destroy it = ↑ concentrations of ACH at the receptor site

Subdivisions (based on duration of action)

1) Reversible inhibitors: NOT tightly bound to receptors

2) Irreversible inhibitors: bind irreversibly to receptors

SANS: General

NTs in SANS: norepi(NE) and epinephrineNE: released at terminal nerve endings of the

SANSEpinephrine: released from adrenal medulla &

distributed via the bloodBoth NTs stimulate many internal organs to ↑

sympathetic activityEpi will relax smooth muscle, NE does not

○ Ex: epi used for bronchodilation, NE is not

Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.

SANS: General Adrenergic nerve ending takes up the amino acid tyrosine

Then forms DOPA (dihdroxyphenylalanine) & dopamine

Then converted to Norepi

Norepi then stored within vesicles inside nerve endings

When nerves are stimulated – NE released – travel to smooth & cardiac muscle – attach to their receptors – produce sympathetic response

Then NE will reuptake back into nerve ending or destroyed by MONOAMINE OXIDASE enzyme

SANS: GeneralAlpha & Beta Receptors

2 divisions of drugs

1. Sympathomimetics/Adrenergic S+

Alpha & beta-agonists

2. Sympatholytics/Adrenergic Blocking S- Alpha, beta-blockers Antagonize or ↓ sympathetic activity

SANS: Sympatholytics

Used in tx of:HBPUrinary retentionMigraine headachesGlaucoma

Therapeutic effects & adverse effects due to the blocking of alpha or beta receptors

Most all drugs are SELECTIVE – eliminate potential adverse effects

SANS: SympatholyticsAlpha-Blockers

Bind to alpha receptors to block actions of NE and Epi Pharmacological effects

1) Relaxation of smooth muscle bladder & prostate

2) Vasodilation

3) Decrease BP: can ↑ risk orthostatic hypotension Clinical Indications

1) Hypertension

2) Raynaud’s disease (poor blood flow to skin & extremities)

3) Prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate which interferes w/urinary flow through ureter)

4) Penile erectile dysfunction (α2)

α1-antagonist Clinical Use

prazosin (Minipress) Hypertension

doxazosin (Cardura) Hypertension

terazosin (Hytrin) Hypertension, prostate hypertrophy, urinary retention

Tamsulosin(Flomax) Prostate hypertrophy

phenoxybenzamine, phentolamine Raynaud's

DIRECT ACTING Selective α1-antagonists

α2-antaonist Clinical Use

Yohimbine(Aphrodyne) Penile erectile dysfunction

DIRECT ACTING Selective α2-antagonists

Adverse Effects: complete opposite of alpha effects Instead of pupil dilation, will see constriction (miosis) Nasal congestion instead of decongestion Increase GI activity Reflex tachycardia will occur if the BP is lowered too

much Orthostatic hypotension

There are no therapeutic uses for blocking beta-2 receptors General names end in olol so it is easy to recognize them β1 blockers = most widely prescribed autonomic drugs! Clinical Indications

1) Hypertension

2) Angina

3) Heart arrhythmias

4) Panic attacks

5) Migraine headaches

6) Glaucoma

SANS: SympatholyticsBeta-Blockers

Antagonize the beta actions of NE and Epi Patients with HBP, angina, arrhythmias have

increased sympathetic activity

If you can block the beta receptors with these drugs

Then you reduce the effects Epi & NE

Thus improve the patient’s heart issues by decreasing heart activity

1. Selective β-1 (best choice for asthmatic patients who have heart conditions) (NBQ) Protype drug: Atenolol (Tenormin) Fewer side effects, only affect heart, not lungs =

lower chance of drug interactions

2. Non-Selective (will block beta-1&2)

1. Selective Beta-1

2. Non-Selective (will block beta-1&2) Protype drug: Propranolol (Inderal) Block β1 & β2 (NBQ-never give to asthmatic!)

Block β1

Effect on heart: Reduce cardiac output & BP Effect on eye: Reduce secretions & intraocular pressure

Block β2

Effect on lungs: Bronchoconstriction in asthmatics Effect on liver: inhibit glycogenolysis, may cause

hypoglycemia in diabetics Contraindicated: asthma, diabetes

MetabolismAtenolol is NOT lipid-soluble

○ Does NOT pass blood-brain barrier ○ Excreted unmetabolized by kidney

Propranolol is the most lipid-soluble β -blocker ○ Passes into the brain easily where it can exert pharmacological

effects

○ CNS sedation, mental depression, decreased central sympathetic activity which may contribute to the lowering of BP in tx of hypertension

○ Can tx secondary tachycardia associated w/ hyperthyroidism
