|
Drug that inhibits skeletal muscle contraction by blocking conduction within the spinal cord.
|
Centrally Acting Skeletal Muscle Relaxant:
|
|
|
Produces paralysis by first causing nerve transmission, gollowed by ingibition of nerve transmission.
|
Depolarizing Blocker:
|
|
|
Twitchings of muscle fiber groups.
|
Fasciculation:
|
|
|
Abnormally high body temperature.
|
Hyperthermia:
|
|
|
Undesirable interaction of drugs not suitable for combination or administration together.
|
Incompatibility:
|
|
|
Condition in susceptible individuals resulting in a life-threatening elevation in body temperature.
|
Malignant Hyperthermia:
|
|
|
Space (synapse) between a moter nerve ending and a skeletal muscle membrane that contains acetylcholine (ACH) receptors
|
Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ)
|
|
|
Produces paralysis by inhibiting nerve transmission.
|
Nondepolarizing Blocker:
|
|
|
Drug that inhibits muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction or within the contractile process.
|
Peripheral Skeletal Muscle Relaxant:
|
|
|
Produces an action that is greater than either of the components can produce alone.
|
Potentiates:
|
|
|
Inhibition fo the vagus nerve to the heart, causing the heart reate to increase (counteraction to vagal tone that causes bradycardia.)
|
Vagolytic:
|
|
|
Substance that relaxes the muscles (sphincters) controlling bolld vessels, leading to increased blood flow.
|
Vasodilator:
|
