Autonomic Nervous System
Nervous system CNS PNS Autonomic Somatic Symp Parasymp Enteric
SOMATIC AUTONOMIC Organ supplied Skeletal muscle Other organs Distal most synapse Nerve fibre Peripheral plexus Formation Within CNS Myelinated Absent Outside CNS Preganglionic - myelinated Post ganglionic non myelinated Present Efferent transmitter Ach Ach, NA Effect of nerve section on organ supplied Paralysis and Atrophy Activity maintained : no atrophy
Differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems Sympathetic Parasympathetic Origin Dorso- lumbar Cranio sacral Distribution Wide Limited to head, neck,trunk Ganglia Away from organs On or close to organs Pre: post ganglionic fibre ratio 1:20 1:1 Postganglionic fibres Long Short Transmitter Na (major) Ach (minor) Ach
Neurohumoral transmission
Nerves transmit their message across synapses and neuroeffector junctions by release of humoral (chemical) messengers
Otto Loewi -1921 Vagusstuff of Dale 1926 Vagusstuff was Ach
A neurotransmitter should possess following features It should be present in the presynaptic neurons It should be released following the nerve stimulation Its application produces responses similar to those produced by nerve stimulation Its effect should be blocked or potentiated by the substance which similarly alter the effect of nerve stimulation
STEPS IN NEUROHUMORAL TRANSMISSION Impulse conduction Transmitter release Action on the postjunctional membrane Postjunctional activity Termination of transmitter action

Adrenaline
Adrenergic System & Drugs Dr Satyajit
Catecholamines????
Catechol 1,2 dihydroxybenzene
Most abundant endogenous catecholamines Adrenaline / Epinephrine Noradrenaline / Norepinephrine Dopamine
Adrenaline Dopamine Noradrenaline
Noradrenaline post ganglionic sympathetic sites (sweat glands, hair follicles) Adrenaline Adrenal medulla, transmitter in brain Dopamine Major transmitter in basal ganglia, limbic system, CTZ, anterior pituitary
Synthesis of catecholamines
Hydroxylase Phenylalanine Tyrosine Liver Hydroxylase DOPA Adrenal neuronal cytoplasm Decarboxylase Dopamine ß Hydroxylase Inside granules Noradrenaline Methyl transferase Adrenaline Adrenal medulla cells
Synthesis of NA/NE occurs in??? Adrenaline occurs only in??
Storage of catecholamines
Noradrenaline Synaptic vesicles within adrenergic nerve endings Vesicular membrane actively takes DA Dopa decarboxylase NA forms a complex with ATP (4:1) Adsobed to chromagranin
Adrenaline In adrenal medulla, NA is diffused to cytoplasm Methylation N methyl transferase NA > Adrenaline
Release of catecholamines
Release of CA occur by exocytosis All components (NA, Adr, ATP,dopamine hydroxylase) Co transmitters Indirectly acting sympathomimetic???
Displace NA from nerve binding site Exchange diffusion by NET
Uptake of catecholamines
Axonal Uptake Uptake 1 Active amine pump (NET) Transports NA by Na + coupled mechanism Takes NA more than Adr Most important in terminating action of NA Inhibited by Cocaine, desipramine
Vesicular uptake VMAT 2 (vesicular monoamine transporter) Transports NA from cytoplasm to vesicles Exchange with H + ion Takes dopamine for synthesis of NA Maintain the conc of NA Inhibited by reserpine
Uptake 2 Extra neuronal uptake Extra neuronal amine transporter (ENT), OCT Take Adr more than NA Not Na + dependent Not inhibited by Cocaine No pharmacological importance
Metabolism of catecholamines
DOPGAL : 3,4 dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde DOPEG: 3,4 dihydroxy phenylethylene glycol DOMA: 3,4 dihydroxy mandelic acid MOPEG : 3 methoxy 4 hydroxy phenylethyleneglycol
Excretion Metabolites excreted in urine is VMA, MOPEG, DOMA Mostly conjugated with glucuronic acid or sulfate before excretion Only 2 5 mic gm of Adr and 25 50 mic of NA excreted in free form in 24 hrs
Adrenergic receptors
Raymond Ahlquist, 1948
2 types Types of Adreno receptors α receptors ß receptors
Membrane bound GPCR Increase or decrease the camp or IP 3 /DAG Operates K + or Ca + channel
α ß Order of potency of agonist Adr NA >Iso Iso > Adr >NA Antagonist Phenoxybenazmaine Propranolol Effector pathway IP/DAG 3 camp, K+ channel camp, Ca+ channel
Beta receptor ß Organ specificity of agonist and antagonists ß1 ß2 ß3
Beta receptor ß1 Heart JG cells of kidney Agonist Dobutamine Selectivity : Adr = NA ß1 Cardiac stimulation, rate, force and conduction
Beta receptor ß2 Smooth muscle : bronchus GU, Intestine Uterus Urinary tract Eye Agonist : salbutamol, terbutaline Selectivity : Adr > NA
ß2 Bronchodilatation ß2 Relaxation
ß2 Relaxation
Beta receptor ß3 Adipose tissue Affinity : NA Agonist antiobesity drugs
Alpha receptor α α 1 α 2 α 3 α 1A, α 1B, α 1D α 2A, α 2B, α 2C
Alpha receptor α1 Post junctional effector organ Vasoconstriction GU smooth muscle contraction Gland secretion Gut relaxation Agonist: Phenylephrine Antagonist Prazosin
α 1
Alpha receptor α2 Pre junctional nerve endings (α2a) Post junctional Brain, pancreatic beta cells Inhibition of transmitter release Decrease central sympathetic outflow Decrease insulin release Agonist: Clonidine Antagonist Yohimbine
