Answer 1

anticholinergic durgs

Question 2

What are the 3 categories of anticholinergic drugs

Answer 2

muscarinic antagonists
ganglionic blocking agents
Neuromuscular blocking agents

Question 3

How does Atropine work

Answer 3

By preventing receptor activation by endogenous acetylcholine

Question 4

Where do muscarinic antagonists exert their influence

Answer 4

heart
exocrine glands
smooth muscles
eyes

Question 5

True or Flase

Heart rate increases with muscarinic antagonist

Answer 5

True

Atropine blocks receptors in the cardiac resulting in decreased heart rate

Question 6

True or False

Secretion from salivary glands will increase with atropine

Answer 6

false

Question 7

True of false

Exocrine glands increase secretion with muscarinic agonist

Answer 7

True

Question 8

This type of drug will result in relaxation of bronchi decrease tone of bladder and decrease motility of GI track

Answer 8

anticholinergic drug (muscarinic antagonists)

Question 9

Effect of muscarinic antagonists on eyes

Answer 9

dilation of pupil (mydriasis)

relaxation of ciliary muscle focusing the lens for far vision

Question 10

What drug class would help overactive bladder

Answer 10

anticholinergic drugs (muscarinic antagonist) because they block M3 receptor activation resulting in relaxation

Question 11

Answer 11

behavioral therapy- timed voiding, avoiding liquids

Question 12

Which subtype of muscarinic receptor is responsible for bladder

Answer 12

M3
