Give at least 3 adverse effects of atropine.

S – Stasis of urine and Sweatin
What are the 4 receptors in the Sympathetic Nervous System?
Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, and Beta-2 receptors.
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Adrenergic Blocker is known as?
A. Parasympathomimetic which stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
B. Sympathomimetic which stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System
C. Parasympatholytic which inhibits the Parasympathetic Nervous System
D. Sympatholytic which inhibits the Sympathetic Nervous System
D. Sympatholytic which inhibits the Sympathetic Nervous System
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Cholinergic Agonist is known as?
A. Parasympathomimetic which stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
B. Sympathomimetic which stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System
C. Parasympatholytic which inhibits the Parasympathetic Nervous System
D. Sympatholytic which inhibits the Sympathetic Nervous System
A. Parasympathomimetic which stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Cholinergic Blocker is known as?
A. Parasympathomimetic which stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
B. Sympathomimetic which stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System
C. Parasympatholytic which inhibits the Parasympathetic Nervous System
D. Sympatholytic which inhibits the Sympathetic Nervous System

TRUE OR FALSE
The therapeutic effect of Alpha 2-adrenergic receptors is decreased blood pressure.
TRUE
MULTIPLE CHOICE
What is the therapeutic effect of a Beta-adrenergic Blocker?
A. Increased heart rate
B. Increased blood pressure
C. Decreased blood pressure
C. Decreased blood pressure
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Adrenergic Agonist is known as?
A. Parasympathomimetic which stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System
B. Sympathomimetic which stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System
C. Parasympatholytic which inhabits the Parasympathetic Nervous System
D. Sympatholytic which inhabits the Sympathetic Nervous System
B. Sympathomimetic which stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System
What drug receptor should be given to a patient who has hypotension?
Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors
Rationale:
Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors are located in the arteries. When the alpha receptor is stimulated by epinephrine or norepinephrine, the arteries constrict. This increases the blood pressure and the blood flow returning to the heart.
What drug receptor activates glycogenolysis and increased blood sugar?
Beta-2 adrenergic receptor
What are the side effects of adrenergic agonists? Give at least 3 examples.
Tissue necrosis
Tachycardia
Palpitations
Tremors
Dizziness
Increased blood pressure
Urinary retention
Nausea and vomiting
What is the therapeutic effect of Bethanechol?
Increase the muscle tone in the bladder and Gastrointestinal Tract
Benztropine is used with other medicines to treat __________.
Parkinson’s disease
Atenolol, Propanolol, Pindolol, Timolol, and Metoprolol are drug examples of what adrenergic blockers?
Beta-adrenergic Blockers
