Autonomic Nervous System Drugs

Question 1

Adrenergic agonists generally simulate activation of certain aspects of the sympathetic nervous system and are thus also known as…

Answer 1

Sympathomimetic

Question 2

A 19 year old lady went to a gym and tried a hard exercises for the first time, after an hour she was panting and her heart rate was increased. The question is what Response is responsible for increasing heart rate?

Answer 2

SYMPATHETIC RESPONSE

Question 3

What kind of receptor that response particularly in Increasing heart rate, Increase renin secretion > Increase BP.

Answer 3

B1

Question 4

We have two kinds of Nervous system and one of this system regulates actions in stressful situations, allowing the human body to react and respond quickly. What system it is?

Answer 4

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Question 5

This drug gives impact to our parasympathetic nervous system which means that they are used to treat conditions that interrupt digestion, muscle contraction and weakness, and can even help manage some cardiac issues. In other word it promotes action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Answer 5

Cholinergic drugs

Question 6

A bunch of Medical students decided to have a rest day after being stressed for a week because of their laboratory exam. What type of Nervous system is responsible for relaxing their body after being stress?

Answer 6

PARASYMPATHETIC

Question 7

Ciara went to a park to mesmerize the moment but while walking there are men whose keep on following her and she feel unsafe or in danger and it causes her to panic. What type of Nervous system is responsible to a dangerous situation

Answer 7

SYMPATHETIC

Question 8

Differentiate the Adrenergic agonist to Cholinergic agonist?

Answer 8

The difference between the two is their neurotransmitter, the Adrenergic is the one who activates the sympathetic system while the Cholinergic agonist is the one who stimulates the Parasympathetic

Question 9

Give the different route in giving epinephrine and how long the duration is?

Answer 9

In giving Epinephrine the nurses or medical workers are usually giving it through Parenteral and there are four ROUTE:
IV (Short duration)
IM (1-4 hours duration)
SQ (Same with IM 1-4 hours duration)
Intraocular (the duration is still unknown)

Question 10

What are the two under of Anticholinergic Drugs?

Answer 10

Anti- muscarinics and Anti- nicotinics

Question 11

This is taken through PO (Per Orem) to treat certain disorders of the urinary tract or bladder and the duration is 6hours. It also, belong to Cholinergic Agonists Pharmacological class?

Answer 11

BETHANECOL

Question 12

In the synaptic cleft ACh is rapidly broken down by what enzyme?

Answer 12

Acetylcholinesterase

Question 13

What will happen to choline to make more ACh?

Answer 13

It will be transported back into the axon terminal

Question 14

It is use to treat mild to moderate hypertension through PO and belong to Alpha blocker Pharmacological Class

Answer 14

PRAZOSIN

Question 15

This drug is under B1, and B2 receptor and the therapeutic use are: increasing heart rate, and force of contraction and conduction, what drug is it?

Answer 15

ISOPROTERENOL

Question 16

This is the step in Synaptic transmission where the binding of transmitters at receptor sites on the postsynaptic membrane happens

Answer 16

STEP 4

Question 17

This Neuron is responsible for sensing stimulus and sends input to our CNS such as smells and feelings of pain.

Answer 17

Afferent

Question 18

It carry signals away from the CNS to initiate an action, what type of neurons is it?

Answer 18

Efferent

Question 19

Why catecholamines can’t be taken through PO (orally)?

Answer 19

Because of their biochemical properties. Also, they are destroyed by digestive enzymes.

Question 20

What are the possible adverse reaction that the patient can experience after taking catecholamines?

Answer 20

These are the possible adverse effect of catecholamines: Palpitations, restlessness, anxiety, dizziness, headache, cardiac, hypotension, hypertensive crisis, and increased glucose levels.
