INTRODUCTION TO AUTONOMIC PHARMACOLOGY Part III - Mechanism
1. INTRODUCTION TO AUTONOMIC PHARMACOLOGY: Part III Mechanism of neurotransmission at in the autonomic nervous system
2. General Features of Peripheral Autonomic Neurotransmission NT = Neurotransmitter
3. General Features of Peripheral Autonomic Neurotransmission Membrane Depolarization of Pre- or Postganglionic Fiber Calcium Entry into Varicosity Exocytosis of NT Diffusion of NT Across Neuroeffector Junction or Synapse Activation of NT Receptors Depolarization of Postganglionic Fiber or Response of Effector Cell Nerve Impulse
6. Parasympathetic/Sympathetic Preganglionic Fiber or Parasympathetic Postganglionic Fiber Neuroeffector Junction Parasympathetic or Sympathetic Postganglionic Fiber or Effector Cell SUMMARY OF CHOLINERGIC NEUROTRANSMISSSION
7. COTRANSMISSION Release of More Than One Neurotransmitter from the Same Nerve Terminal Cotransmitter B Synergistic or Opposite Actions Cotransmitter A
9. Example of Postsynaptic Synergism: (NPY enhances actions of NE) NPY 10 nM NE NE Perfusion Pressure (mmHg)
10. Example of Postsynaptic Synergism: ATP mediates fast response NE mediates slow response Control Prazosin Prazosin + Suramin Control Suramin Prazosin + Suramin
14. MODULATION OF NEUROTRANSMISSION From Nerve Terminal Being Modulated (e.g., Autoinhibitory Feedback) From Postsynaptic/ Postjunctional Site (e.g., Trans- synaptic/ Transjunctional Inhibitory Feedback) From Nearby Nerve Terminal (Cross- talk) From Remote Site via Circulation (e.g., Renin Release) Sources of Modulators of Neurotransmission
