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

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

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
p.36-38
Copyright © 2011, 2007 Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier. All rights reserved.
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

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

↓
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

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

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
