What are the 4 types of adrenergic receptors?
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
Rf value of beta-carotene?
college bio lab. we got 1, using beta carotene as the front. its traveled 10.8cm
What is an electron or particle similar to an electron emitted from the nucleus with negligible mass and a charge of -1?
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
What is mechanism of action of prazosin?
Prazosin blocks alpha-1 receptors (post synaptic) reversibly, permitting vasodilation of both resistance (arterial) and capacitance (veinous) vessels.
What are the 5 sensory receptors?
The 5 sensations are: - Skinny - Skin-like - Skinsensation - Sensaskin - Ya mum Fhuckfhuckfhuck
Beta adrenergic blocking agents are used to?
Beta adrenergic agents serve as inhibitors that prevent beta adrenergic substances (neurotransmitters) such as epinephrine from binding to beta adrenergic receptors (beta 1, beta 2 and beta 3). This prevents the effects of the neurotransmitters thereby reducing blood pressure and heart rate.
What are beta-1 receptors found?
There are at lest 3 types of beta receptors and they are found in different organs. Beta-1 (β1) receptors are found in the heart, eye, and kidneys while beta (β2) receptors are found in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, liver, uterus, blood vessels, and skeletal muscle. The third type, beta (β3) receptors are found in fat cells.
What are the 4 types of adrenergic receptors?
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
What neurotransmitter causes the heart rate to increase?
Beta 1 receptors
Neurotransmittor for the sympathetic nervous system?
The neurotransmitter for sympathetic nervous system is norepinephrine (or also called noradrenaline) that acts on adrenergic receptors of the effector organ (alpha 1, beta 1, beta 2 receptors). The adrenergic receptors are G-protein coupled.
Stimulation of which would cause an increase in heart rate and contraction strength?
beta 1 receptors
What is coreg?
Coreg is one of the various trade names of Carvedilol as a generic drug in the U.S. fro the company GlaxoSmithKline. Carvedilol is a non-selective beta blocker/alpha-1 blocker indicated in the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure (CHF). Carvedilol is a beta blocker and an alpha blocker:* Norepinephrine stimulates the nerves that control the muscles of the heart by binding to the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. Carvedilol blocks the binding to those receptors, which both slows the heart rhythm and reduces the force of the heart's pumping. This lowers blood pressure and reduces heart failure. * Norepinephrine also binds to the α1-adrenergic receptors on blood vessels, causing them to constrict and raise blood pressure. Carvedilol blocks this binding to the α1-adrenergic receptors too, which also lowers blood pressure.
Describe briefly 3 modes of resistance to penicillin?
1. Elaboration of a beta-lactamase by the organism induces enzymatic beta lactam hydrolysis. 2. Mutation of PBP (penicillin binding protein) prevents binding. 3. Mutation of porin proteins prevents access of the beta lactam into the cell wall.
How a beta receptor antagonist causes a decrease in blood pressure?
To understand how beta adrenergic blockade lowers blood pressure, you need to understand a little physiology. Beta receptors are present in many different places in the body: the heart, the blood vessels, the kidneys, the lungs, the muscles, etc. They perform different tasks in each different place as well, and there are different classes of receptors. For instance, in the heart, the receptors are called beta-1 receptors and they increase the rate of firing of the SA node (chronotropy), increases cardiac conduction velocity (dromotropy) and increase the strength with which the heart beats (inotropy). In the arterioles, the receptors cause dilatation of the vessels and are called beta-2 receptors. In the kidneys, beta-1 receptors increase renin output from the juxtamedullary cells when stimulated. Renin is an enzyme that produces a potent vasocontrictor when it activates the angiotensin cascade. Now, how does beta antagonism lower blood pressure. First, in the heart, beta blockade causes a slowing of the heart rate and stroke volume, effectively decreasing cardiac output. In the kidneys, beta blockade decreases renin release, which decreases the amount of systemic vasoconstrictors in the body. These two effects cause the blood pressure to decrease over time.
What distinguishes a vial of lidocaine with epinephrine from a vial without epinephrine?
if lidocaine is represented by a percentage(1% or 2%) followed by a 1:100,000 then it contains epinephrine. the 1:100,000 is the concentration of epinephrine in the medication.
What affects your reaction time?
Adrenaline; AKA: Epinephrine AKA: Norepinephrine all stimulate Alpha 1, Beta 1, and Beta 2 receptors in the body. Stimulating Beta 1 receptors causes less blood flow to non-vital parts of the body thereby giving more blood to important areas such as skeletal muscles, lungs, and brain. Stimulating Beta 1 receptors causes increased heart contraction and the strength of each contraction; this increased blood circulation keeping the blood well oxygenated by the lungs and provides this oxygen to the lungs. Stimulating Beta 2 receptors also causes the airways to enlarge allowing greater airflow to the lungs to further oxygenate the blood. Stimulating Beta 2 receptors also causes arteries to expand to muscles increasing blood to them and causes eyes to dilate to help you see better. When you bring all this together coupled with the brain just works better on Adrenaline, it just works faster, your responce time is reduced. Muscles have plenty of oxygen and glucose to burn. Your body is ready to preform at its maximum.
What is epinephrine's density?
This depends on how the epinephrine is packaged as a medication. The two most common dilutions of epinephrine are 1:1,000 and 1:10,000, but this is not the density. Density: Epinephrine that is 1:1,000 has a density of 1mg/ml. Epinephrine that is 1:10,000 has a density of 0.1mg/ml. (Density = mass/volume) (Here the mass is in milligrams and the volume in milliliters.) -Chemistry!
