Question 10

Alpha 1 receptors are found on:

Answer 10

vascular smooth muscle

Question 11

Beta 1 receptors are found on:

Answer 11

heart cells, increase force of contraction

Question 12

Beta 2 cells are found on:

Answer 12

lungs, skeletal muscle, liver, smooth muscle. Perform bronchodilation, uterine relaxation, increased strength

Question 13

Dopamine is found on ___ and performs ___

Answer 13

vascular smooth muscle and heart, performs vasodilation and increased contractility

Question 14

For ischemic heart disease you require ischemic drugs which include 3 major categories except:

a. beta blockers
b. calcium channel blockers
c. nitrates
d. ACE inhibitors

Answer 14

ACE inhibitors.

These all decrease myocardial O2 demand

Answer 16

a. sublingual

Question 17

Drugs that increase myocardial O2 supply include all of the following except:

a. beta blockers
b. Thrombolytic agents
c. Antiplatelet agents
d. Anticoagulants
e. Calcium-channel blockers-

Answer 17

A

Question 18

“pines” are the suffix of which drug category?

Answer 18

Calcium channel blockers

Question 19

Positive ionotropes do what?

Answer 19

Increase myocardial contractility

Question 20

Negative ionotropes do what?

Answer 20

Decrease myocardial contractilty

Question 21

The following drugs increase contractility of the heart except;
Diuretics
Beta-blockers
ACE/ARB
Vasodilators
Positive inotropes
Calcium Channel Blockers

Answer 21

CCBs- decrease contractilty(neg ionotrope)

Question 22

“pril” are the suffic of which drug category?

Answer 22

ACE(Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor)

Question 23

ACE drugs allow for vasocontriction or vasodilation?

Answer 23

Vasodilation: angiotensin is a vasocontstrictor so an inhibitor would allow for vasodilation of blood vessels

Question 24

Negative ionotropes include what 2 categories of drugs?

Answer 24

CCB and beta blockers

Question 25

HTN is treated with what major class of drugs?

Answer 25

Diuretics

Question 26
