CHAPTER 4

Autonomic Drugs

Page 3: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM (ANS)

Regulates: Blood pressure Heart rate GI tract motility Salivary gland secretion Bronchial smooth muscle

Page 4: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

ANS ANATOMY 2 divisions:

PANS Parasympathetic

SANS Sympathetic

Page 5: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

ANS ANATOMY CONT.

Both the PANS and SANS have: Afferent fibers

Sensory Central integrating areas

Coordinating information Efferent (peripheral) fibers

Motor pre-ganglionic Motor post-ganglionic

Page 6: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

EFFERENT NERVES

Figure 4-1 Pre-ganglionic neuron originates in the CNS Pre-ganglionic neuron – synapses with post-

ganglionic neuron Post-ganglionic neuron innervates the organ

or tissueLength of pre-ganglionic neurons variesLength and number of post-ganglionic

neurons varies Neurotransmitters allow information to

pass from 1 neuron to another

Page 7: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

SYNAPTIC JUNCTION

Page 8: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

PANS

Parasympathetic Nervous SystemRelaxation responseNerves come from cranial

and sacral regions of the CNS

Long pre-ganglionic nerves

Short & few post-ganlionic nerves

Discrete effect

Page 9: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

SANS

Sympathetic Nervous System Fight or flight response Nerves come from

thoracic and lumbar regions of the CNS

Short pre-ganglionic nerves

Long & many post-ganlionic nerves

Diffuse effect

Page 10: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

SANS- ADRENAL MEDULLA

The adrenal gland is innervated by the SANS Releases epinephrine (E) Aids in the “fight or flight” response

Page 11: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

PANS VS. SANS

Act in opposite directions See Table 4-1 PANS

Conservation Digestion

SANS To cope with sudden emergencies

Page 12: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

NEUROTRANSMITTERS OF THE ANS

Function: carry messages

Acetylcholine (Ach)

Norepinephrine (Ne)

Epinephrine (E)

Page 13: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

ACETYLCHOLINE (ACH)

Between pre- and post-ganglionic nerves in both the PANS and SANS

Nerves that release Ach: Cholinergic Also termed nicotinic

Responds to nicotine

Page 14: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

POST-GANGLIONIC NERVES TO TISSUE

PANS Ach Cholinergic Muscarinic

Responds to muscarine

SANS Ne (or E from adrenal medulla) Adrenergic

Page 15: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

ANS

Red arrows – PANS Brown arrow – SANS Neurotransmitters

Pre-ganglionic Acetylcholine (Ach)

PANS post-ganglionic Acetylcholine (Ach)

SANS post-ganglionic Norepinephrine (Ne) From adrenal gland –

epinephrine (E)

Page 16: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

REVIEW:

In the PANS, only Ach is released One cholinergic (nicotinic) receptor One muscarinic receptor

In the SANS, Ach is released as well as Ne/ E One cholinergic (nicotinic) receptor One adrenergic receptor

Page 17: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

INACTIVATING NEUROTRANSMITTERS

Acetylcholine Cholinesterase is

the enzyme that breaks down Ach in the synapse (hydrolysis)

Norepinephrine Is usually taken

back up into the neuron that secreted it (re-uptake)

Ne/ E – COMT- enzyme

found in the liver breaks down some epinephrine & NE

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) - enzyme breaks down excess Ne and E inside the neuron

MATCH NEUROTRANSMITTERS TO SITES

PANS Pre to post Post to organ

SANS Pre to post Post to organ Adrenal gland

Acetylcholine (Ach) Norepinephrine (Ne) Epinephrine (E)

DRUGS THAT AFFECT THE ANS

Can affect either the PANS or SANS Can cause stimulation or block stimulation

P+ P- S+ S-

Page 21: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

NAMING DRUGS

Prefix Parasympatho- affecting the PANS Sympatho - affecting the SANS

Suffix -mimetic mimics that division of the

ANS (agonist) -lytic blocks that division of the ANS

(antagonist)

Page 22: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

REVIEW:

What would a sympatholytic drug do? Block the SANS response

What would a parasympathomimetic do? Stimulate the PANS

Page 23: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

PANS DRUGS

PANS Agonist Causes effect Ach Cholinergic

pilocarpine neostigmine

PANS Antagonist Block the action of

Ach Anticholinergic

atropine scopolamine

Page 24: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

SANS DRUGS

SANS Agonist Cause effect Ne or E Adrenergic Alpha and beta

receptors epinephrine ephedrine dopamine Ritalin

SANS Antagonist Block action of Ne or

E Adrenergic

blocker atenolol nadolol propranolol timolol

FUNCTIONS OF THE ANS

Page 26: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

FUNCTIONS OF THE ANS TABLE 4-1

eye – miosis, constriction & lacrimation

heart – decrease force & rate

arteries – dilation respiratory –

bronchoconstriction pancreas – secretion urinary sphincter –

relaxation GI – increase activity salivation – increased

eye – mydriasis, dilation heart – increase force &

rate arteries – constriction respiratory –

bronchodilation pancreas – decreased

secretion urinary sphincter –

constriction GI activity – decreased saliva - decreased

PANS SANS

Page 27: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

DRUG ACTION

Acts directly on the receptor/ neurotransmitter

Stimulates the PANS or SANS

Enzyme inhibitors Enzyme that

normally destroys the neurotransmitter is inhibited- leads to build up of the neurotransmitter resulting in PANS/ SANS stimulation

Direct Indirect

Page 28: Pharmacology  for the Dental Hygienist

PHARMACOLOGIC EFFECTS OF CHOLINERGIC DRUGS Increases

GI motility Acid Secretions Salivation Urination If indirect – heart
