the lungs
upper respiratory tract
-Nasal mucosa is the first line of immunologic defense
-H1: Responsible for allergic response symptoms
Histamine Receptors
-H2: Found in gastric mucosa
-Delivers drugs to their immediate site of action,
reducing systemic side effects
Advantages of inhaling
-Oral drugs would have to be in a higher dose and
pulmonary drugs
effect entire body
-Immediate relief for bronchospasm
-Difficult to measure the dose received
Disadvantages of inhaling
-Only 10-50% of the drug reaches the lower
pulmonary drugs
respiratory tract
-Beta-adrenergic agonists
Acute asthma -Activates the sympathetic nervous system which
pharmacology relaxes bronchial smooth muscles resulting in
bronchodilation
Chronic asthma -Anticholinergics
pharmacology -Blocks the parasympathetic nervous system
Ventilation The process of moving air into and out of the lungs
