Sympathetic for the Devil
Catecholamines are released by this branch of the autonomous system
What is the SNS?
Noradrenaline has increased affinity to this beta adrenoreceptor
What is beta 1?
This catecholamine binds to alpha 1 adrenoreceptors with extremely high affinity
What is noradrenaline?
In the Wizard of Oz, this character desperately wanted a heart
Who is the Tin Man?
This catecholamine is primarily released from nerve endings and travels a short distance to activate nearby receptors
What is noradrenaline?
The class of beta adrenoreceptor found exclusively in skeletal muscle, coronary arteries and bronchial smooth muscle.
What is beta 2?
Activation of alpha 1 adrenoreceptors lead to an increase in the release of what ion from the sacroplasmic reticulum
What is calcium?
The amount of hearts an octopus has
What is three?
This catecholamine is primarily released by the adrenal medulla and travels in the blood stream affecting various target organs and tissues
What is adrenaline?
Activation of beta 1 adrenoreceptors in the heart results in these physiological changes
What is increased HR and inotropy?
A high concentration of adrenaline and activation of alpha adrenoreceptors leads to this net systemic outcome
What is vasoconstriction?
This Bonnie Tyler song combines the CR block with the phases of the moon
What is Total Eclipse of the Heart?
A decrease in cAMP has this effect in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSCs)
What is vasoconstriction?
Exercise (low levels of adrenaline) would result in this physiological change at sites such as skeletal muscle and bronchi smooth muscle
What is vasodilation?
Altering levels of this messenger molecule results in opposite effects within the heart vs the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMs)
What is cAMP?
Our primarily lecturer for CR shares his last name with a character from this popular movie franchise
What is Madagascar?
