Question 4

Afferent (sensory) _____ impulses and efferent (motor) _____ impulses.

Answer 4

sends and receives

Question 5

It is a nervous system that is involuntary that controls and regulates the heart, GI, respiratory system, bladder, eyes, and glands

Answer 5

Autonomic Nervous System

Question 5

It is a nervous system that voluntary innervates the skeletal muscles.

Answer 5

Somatic Nervous System

Question 5

It is a chemical that is produced by your Central
Nervous System and Peripheral nervous system communicate with each other.

Answer 5

Two neuron chain

Question 6

What are the steps in synaptic transmission?

Answer 6

Step 1: Synthesis of the transmitter
Step 2: Storage of neurotransmitters.
Step 3: Release of neurotransmitter
Step 4: Action at the receptor
Step 5: Termination of transmission

Question 7

Sympathetic system controls ______ which is a physiological response to non-immediate. The same with fighting for survival.

Answer 7

Fight or flight response

Question 8

Norepinephrine is the terminal neurotransmitter of the Sympathetic Nervous System that controls……

Answer 8

-Dilation of pupils
-Dilation of bronchioles
-Increases heart rate
-Constricts blood vessels
-Relaxes smooth muscles of the GI
-Relaxes uterine muscles

Question 9

Acetylcholine is the terminal neurotransmitter of the Parasympathetic Nervous System that controls

Answer 9

-Constricts pupils
-Constricts bronchioles, increases secretions
-Decreases heart rate
-Dilates blood vessels
-Increases peristalsis
-Increases salivation

Question 10

What is receptor theory?

Answer 10

It is drugs that act through receptors by binding to
the receptors to initiate a response or prevent a response.

Question 11

Pharmacology effect means

Answer 11

specific changes in physiological function as a result of drug interaction with a particular receptor.

Question 12

____ are drugs that produce a response while ____ are drugs that block a response.

Answer 12

Agonist and antagonist

Question 13

What agonist stimulates the adrenergic receptors, mimics the effects, and is sympathomimetic?

Answer 13

Adrenergic agonist

Question 14

What antagonist inhibits the sympathetic nervous system, is sympatholytic, and blocks alpha and beta receptor blockers.

Answer 14

Adrenergic antagonist

Question 15

What agonist stimulate stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, mimics the parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and is Para-sympathomimetic?

Answer 15

Cholinergic agonist

Question 15

What antagonist inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, and is Para-sympatholytic?

Answer 15

Cholinergic antagonist

Question 15

What are the alpha receptors (agonists) and their therapeutic uses?

Answer 15

Alpha 1- Hypotension, nasal congestion,
dilation of pupils
Alpha 2- Hypertension
Beta 1- Heart failure, cardiac arrest, shock
Beta 2- Asthma, premature labor of
contraction

Question 16

Explain the drug interactions

Answer 16

Sympathomimetics are effects andregernics
agonists and Sympa effects. Then Parasymphathomimics mimic parasymphato nervous effects and will produce para effects. While Sympatholytic is an adrenergic antagonist and produced para effects. Then parasympatholytics antagonize the effects of your para sympha and produced sympha.
