|
CNS Depression
|
|
|
Bradycardia is an expected side effect of TCA's, T or F?
|
True
|
|
|
Unsteady gait is a common sign of Parkinson's Disease, T or F?
|
True
|
|
|
Which neurotransmitter serves both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?
|
ACh- Acetylcholine
|
|
|
A parasympathomimetic is what kind of drug?
|
Cholinergic
|
|
|
What does the acronym SLUDGE stand for
|
Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation, GI Motility, Emesis
|
|
|
What is the prototype of anticholinergic drug?
|
atropine
|
|
|
What are the effects of nicotine?
|
Stimulates both the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems. Para response causes: increased salivation, peristalsis & secretion of gastric acid. Sympathetic response causes: release of norepinephrine & epinephrine, which leads to increased heart rate, myocardial contractility, vasoconstriction, and BP, all increase the hearts workload.
|
|
|
The sympathetic nervous system originates from which region in the spinal cord?
|
thoracic & lumbar
|
|
|
A cholinergic drug is also considered what?
|
a parasympathomimetic
|
|
|
The sympathetic nerves originate where?
|
thoracic and lumbar region of the spinal cord
|
|
|
The parasympathetic nerves originate from where?
|
Cranial (brain) & sacral areas of the spinal cord
|
|
|
Norepinephrine is approximately what % of hormones released by stimulating the adreanal medulla?
|
20%
|
|
|
Which adrenergic receptors are inhibitory?
|
Alpha 2
|
|
|
What adrenergic receptors are excitatory?
|
Alpha 1, Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3, & Dopaminergic
|
|
|
Name the adrenergic receptors.
|
Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3, and Dopaminergic
|
|
|
What are the effect of stimulation to Alpha 1 receptors?
|
constriction of arterioles, constriction of veins, mydriasis of the eye (dilation) & ejaculation of the penis
|
|
|
What are the effect of stimulation of Alpha 2 receptors?
|
Presynaptic terminals inhibitions
|
|
|
What are the effect of stimulation of Beta 1 receptors?
|
Increased heart rate, increased conductivity in the heart, increased automaticity in the heart, increased contractility in the heart, & renin release in the kidney
|
|
|
What are the effect of stimulation of Beta 2 receptors?

|
Plasmin
|
|
|
What is the primary action of Nitro in angina?
