Pituitary drugs

Pituitary drugs are natural or synthetic hormones that mimic the hormones produced by the pituitary gland. The pituitary drugs consist of two groups:

Anterior pituitary drugs may be used diagnostically or therapeutically to control the function of other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland, adrenals, ovaries, and testes.
Posterior pituitary drugs may be used to regulate fluid volume and stimulate smooth-muscle contraction in selected clinical situations.

Adverse reactions to urinary tract antispasmodics Possible adverse reactions to urinary tract antispasmodics include: blurred vision headache somnolence urinary retention dry mouth dyspepsia constipation nausea vomiting weight gain pain acute and secondary angle-closure glaucoma.

The majority of these drugs’including sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil’are given orally, metabolized in the liver, and excreted in feces. An exceptional drug Alprostadil is the exception:...

Organization of autonomic nervous system

Organization of autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system regulates all involuntary functions such as secretion of hormones; contraction of the heart muscle, blood vessels and bronchioles; and the ability to move substances through the digestive tract. The ANS can be further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems (PNS). The autonomic nervous system consists of sensory neurons and motor neurons that run between the central nervous system (especially the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata ) and various internal organs such as the: heart lungs viscera glands (both exocrine and endocrine) It is responsible for monitoring conditions in the internal environment and bringing about appropriate changes in them. The contraction of both smooth muscle and cardiac muscle is controlled by motor neurons of the autonomic system. The actions of the autonomic nervous system are largely involuntary (in contrast to those o...
