ANS PharmacologyIntroduction to the Autonomic Nervous System : 

ANS PharmacologyIntroduction to the Autonomic Nervous System Presenter: Marc Imhotep Cray, M.D. Professor Basic Medical Sciences Recommended Reading:  Autonomic Introduction Formative Assessment Practice Question Set #1 Clinical: E-Medicine Article Epilepsy and the Autonomic Nervous System

Homeostasis : 

10/17/2009 2 Homeostasis The physiologic process of maintaining an internal environment compatible with normal health Autonomic reflexes maintain setpoints and modulate organ system functions in pursuit of homeostasis See: Human homeostasis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_homeostasis

Slide 3: 

10/17/2009 3 Schematic From: Organization of the Nervous System http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/PNS.html

Autonomic Reflexes : 

10/17/2009 4 Autonomic Reflexes Afferent fibers from periphery to CNS CNS integration Cortex Thalamus Hypothalamus Medulla Spinal cord Efferent fibers from CNS to periphery

Neurotransmitters : 

10/17/2009 5 Neurotransmitters Chemicals synthesized and stored in neurons Liberated from axon terminus in response to action potentials Interact with specialized receptors Evoke responses in the innervated tissues See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter

Efferent Autonomic Nerves : 

10/17/2009 6 Efferent Autonomic Nerves Innervation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands Preganglionic neuron Peripheral ganglion - axodendritic synapse Postganglionic neuron(s) Effector organ(s) Pre Ganglion Effector organ

Anatomic Divisions of the ANS : 

10/17/2009 7 Anatomic Divisions of the ANS Parasympathetic Preganglionic axons originate in the brain, and sacral spinal cord Peripheral ganglia are near, often within, the effector organs Ratio of postganglionic-to-preganglionic axons is small, resulting in discrete responses Sympathetic Preganglionic axons originate in the thoracolumbar cord Peripheral ganglia are distant from the effector organs Ratio of post-to-preganglionic axons is large, resulting in widely distributed responses

Somatic Nervous System : 

10/17/2009 9 Somatic Nervous System Efferent innervation of skeletal muscle No peripheral ganglia Rapid transmission, discrete control of motor units Any spinal segment Motor neuron Striated muscle

Neurochemical Transmission in the Peripheral Nervous System : 

10/17/2009 10 Neurochemical Transmission in the Peripheral Nervous System Cholinergic nerves Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter Locations Preganglionic neurons to all ganglia Postganglionic, parasympathetic neurons “Preganglionic” fibers to adrenal medulla Postganglionic, sympathetic neurons to sweat glands in most species Somatic motor neurons

Neurochemical Transmission in the PNS : 

10/17/2009 12 Neurochemical Transmission in the PNS Adrenergic nerves Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter Locations Postganglionic, sympathetic axons

Adrenal Medulla : 

10/17/2009 13 Adrenal Medulla Presynaptic nerves are cholinergic Medullary cells synthesize and release two, related catecholamines into the systemic circulation Epinephrine (adrenaline) Norepinephrine Epi and NE stimulate adrenergic sites

Adrenal Medulla(2) : 

10/17/2009 14 Adrenal Medulla(2) Cholinergic neuron Adrenal medulla Epi and NE released into systemic circulation Denotes ACh

ACh Synthesis, Release, and Fate : 

10/17/2009 15 ACh Synthesis, Release, and Fate Synthesized from choline and acetyl-CoA Released in response to neuronal depolarization (action potential) Calcium enters the nerve cell Transmitter vesicles fuse with cell membrane ACh released by exocytosis Inactivated by acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

ACh Synthesis, Release, and Fate (2) :

NE Synthesis, Release, and Fate : 

10/17/2009 17 NE Synthesis, Release, and Fate Catecholamine - synthesized in a multistep pathway starting with tyrosine Released by exocytosis in response to axonal depolarization Duration of activity primarily limited by neuronal reuptake Minor metabolism by synaptic monoamine oxidase (MAO) and catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT)

Receptors : 

10/17/2009 19 Receptors Specialized proteins that are binding sites for neurotransmitters and hormones Postsynaptic cell membranes (neurotransmitters) Cell nucleus (steroid hormones) Linked to one of many signal transduction mechanisms

Ligand-Receptor Interactions : 

10/17/2009 20 Ligand-Receptor Interactions Complementary conformations in 3 dimensions Similar to enzyme-substrate interactions Physiologic interactions are weak attractions H-bonding, van der Waal’s forces Drug mechanisms Agonists - bind and activate receptors Antagonists - bind but DO NOT activate receptors

Introduction to Autonomic and Somatic Pharmacology : 

10/17/2009 29 Introduction to Autonomic and Somatic Pharmacology Some drugs evoke effects by interacting with receptors Affinity Efficacy or (synonym) Intrinsic activity Agonists Mimic physiologic activation Have both high affinity and efficacy Antagonists Block actions of neurotransmitters or agonists Have high affinity, but no efficacy Often used as pharmacologic reversal agents
