In this video, Dr Mike shows you a cheat sheet to remember the different kinds of receptors that detect adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine). These receptors are called alpha and beta.
I am in nursing school and My teacher is awful and I felt like I was drowning in pharmacology. You guys are basically teaching me pharmacology. You should get.a paycheck 😄 Thanks for the 95% on the last exam! ❤
Kristin, you must attend Bergen county community college, in New Jersey. (Joking... But my pharmacology professor is a horrible teacher too and she thinks she's the greatest) Thank you Michael for your explanation!
I've been watching your videos for 3 years! You got me through anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and the first year of nursing school. Thank you Dr. Mike!!
You're a straight up legend Dr Mike! I'm learning and reinforcing so much of my lecture content from you guys - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your channel!
Glad I found your channel. Great teaching of these basic medical topics. Videos are very clear & easy to understand . Not just detailing of a particular topic but there’s explanations about how it’s relevant in a general medical sense. Best videos of this kind on RU-vid & am surprised there not more views !
Thank you so much for your time and effort explaining all these things in such amazing ways. You are a blessing to many nursing students!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was an amazing watch. So concise and just what I needed as a final revision. Looking forward to learn more from you, Doctor! Thank you for this wonderful, wonderful cheat sheet :)
I don't know what to say!! you really saved my life!!! I have been suffering understanding this confusing process of Alpha and Beta receptors and you just solved it !!
Dr mike just wanted to thank you for all you do. I am in nursing school and I feel like lost from just listening to my instructor just reading the PowerPoint. Every time I needed to understand the pathology behand something or drugs I always watch your videos. Thanks to you I am passing my classes. You are wonderful Dr.
Nice, lesson bro, I am a nursing student in Kenya, I love this presentation I am understanding it well. really teach exactly like my pharmacology lecturer.
I wish we used the terms "noradrenaline" and "adrenaline" here in the US instead of "norepinephrine" and "epinephrine". I think it makes it so much easier to remember and it helps to relate the "adrenal-ine" the adrenal gland.
Epinephrine has a similar clue, too. It is epi (above) the nephrine (nephron: the functional unit of kidneys, nephrology: the study of kidneys) I actually just realized the connection of both adrenaline and epinephrine to the adrenals and the nephrons while watching this video!
I can watch your videos for ever without being bored but believe me I can’t focus on the subject because you’re so charming Next time cover your face 😂❤
Non medical person, watching this amazing video to understand POTS and what pills to take :D But somehow i dont understand why Propranolol (B1,b2 blocker) is better than Cardio selective b1 blockers like Bisoprolol for post viral POTS leading with Orthostatic Hypotention, any ideas?
I have Long Covid. A lot of recent literature points to this system being affected by covid causing molecular mimicry in B cell antibodies, so we get self destructive autoantibodies that clog up these receptors and down and up regulate them and fuck everything up. You have helped me understand my disease very well thank you
Error? The neurotransmitter in the sympathetic ganglia is acetylcholine, not NE/NA. There is no reason to have adrenergic receptors there. The alpha-2 receptors lie in the post-ganglionic neurons of the SNS at the synapse with the target organ. Yes or no?
What is the role of sympathetic system for salivary gland? We get dry mouth in panic situations but its written in my book that alpha 1 and beta 2 stimulates salivary gland.
