What is the MOA of donepezil (Aricept)?

acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
What is the indication of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/cholinesterase
inhibitors?
Alzheimer's disease
What is the indication of bethanechol (Urecholine)?
Urinary retention
What is the MOA of bethanechol (Urecholine)?
Binds to cholinergic receptors to produce the rest-and-digest response
that relaxes the bladder
,What is a cholinergic crisis?
Symptoms that occur when a patient is given too much cholinergic medication
What are symptoms of a cholinergic crisis?
Salivation
Lacrimation
Urination
Defecation
Gastrointestinal distress
Emesis
What is the MOA of anticholinergics?
Blocks the effect of acetylcholine and causes sympathetic nervous system
actions to predominate

Too much atropine (anticholinergic)
, What is used as a reversal agent in the event that a patient has too much of
the effects of an anticholinergic?
Physostigmine
What is the primary neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system?
Norepinephrine
What are other neurotransmitters of the sympathetic nervous system?
-Dopamine
-Epinephrine
What are the receptors of the sympathetic nervous system called?
