Ch 13 - Psychopharmocology Flashcards
drugs produced from outside the body
exogenous
drugs produce from within
endogenous
how a drug works
effects
where a drug works
site of action
how a drug gets used
pharmacokinetics
to affect you, a drug must blank
bind to a receptor
faster a drug gets to site of action, the more blank
addictive
after a certain dose of drug, increasing doses blank
does not produce stronger effect
difference between desired effect and undesired effect like mortality
margin of safety
takes a higher dose to get the same effect
tolerance
dose of a drug creates augmented effect… and locomotor activity increases as well as WANT for the drug
sensitization
a substance from which another substance is formed
precursor
drugs that facilitate postsynaptic effects
agonist
drugs that block postsynaptic effects
antagonist
competitive binding of agonists and antagonists
direct
noncompetitive binding of agonists and antagonists
indirect
neurotransmitters must be:
- in synaptic terminal
- calcium dependent release
- subject to inactivation
- receptors exist
3 nt families
amino acids, monoamines, neuropeptides
glutamate, aspartate, glycine, gaba are blank NTs
amino acids
catecholamines, indoleamines, histamine, acetlycholine are blank NTs
monoamines
substance P, endorphins, enkephalins are blank NTs
neuropeptides
90% of CNS involve the 4 blank neurotransmitters
amino acid
glutamate and aspartate are blank NTs
excitatory
gaba and glycine are blank NTs
inhibitory
major inhibitory CNS neurotransmitter
gaba
gaba is made from blank and blank
glutamade, gad
glutamate and gad makes these two things
gaba, co2
chloride concentration is blank inside than outside
less
