Autonomic Nervous System Receptors and Their Effects

• Parasympathetic - ACh is transm
  • Muscarinic
    • receptors in heart, eye, lung, GI, skin and sweat glands
    • Bradycardia
    • Miosis
    • Bronchorrhea / Bronchospasm
    • Hyperperistalsis (SLUDGE)
    • Sweating
    • Vasodilation
  • Nicotinic
    • receptors in both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
    • fasciculations, flaccid paralysis
    • ?Mild bradycardia, hypotension
• Sympathetic
  • Alpha effects (vessels, eye, skin)
    • Mydriasis, hypertension, sweating
  • Beta effects (heart, lungs)
    • Tachycardia, bronchodilation
