Central Nervous System Drugs Flashcards
Body fluids deliver drugs to their locations of action.
Influenced by circulation, cell membrane permeability, and plasma protein binding.
Distribution
This is the study of drugs that alter processes controlled by the nervous system.
Neuropharmacology
It is conducting an action potential down the axon of the neuron.
Axonal Conduction
It is the process by which
information is carried across
the gap between neuron
and postsynaptic cell
Synaptic Transmission
It is use for psychiatric disorders, suppression of seizures, relief of pain,
production of anesthesia
CNS Drugs
It is the direct or indirect cause.
Dopamine stimulation
receptors.
Dopaminergic Drug
It is a set of illnesses that are defined by
due to the increased excitability of
neurons in the central nervous system.
Epilepsy
This is a broad phrase that refers to
epileptic events of all kinds.
Seizure
It is the excitement that has a restricted distribution.
the emphasis shifts to nearby cortical regions.
Partial Seizure
The excitement spreads broadly throughout.
both cerebral hemispheres.
General Seizure
What is the most usually given medication
anticonvulsant medication?
Phenytoin
What is the effective in the treatment of partial seizures and
but not generalized tonic-clonic seizures
not seizures caused by absence?
Phenobarbital
__________ is restricted to acute
treatment of status epilepticus
Diazepam
It is binds to a carrier protein and acts on it.
as a result of elevated GABA in
the mind.
Gabapentin
What is classified as involuntary.
muscle or muscle contraction
group?
Muscle Spasm
It works to relax skeletal muscles via
nerve transmission disruption
electrical impulses at the motor end plate
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
It works to relax skeletal muscles via
nerve transmission disruption
electrical impulses at the motor end plate
Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs
It competes with ACh for the ability to prevent
preventing the muscle from contracting.
Non-Depolarizing Blocking Drugs
It functions similarly to acetylcholine but is not inactivated by ACHe.
Depolarizing Blocking Drugs
It is removing oneself from a drug that has
Addiction has the ability to occur.
