17
Q

oversensitivity to light due to abrasions to the cornea, inflammation, disease or medications

A

photophobia

18
Q

The abnormal alignment of eyes that prevents the person from gazing at the same point with both eyes

A

strabismus

19
Q

Abnormal condition in which sensory nerve messages connect to the wrong centers of the brain. i.e. hearing colors

A

synesthesia

20
Q

a buzzing, whistling or ringing sound heard in the absence of external stimulus

A

tinnitus

21
Q

a feeling of dizziness caused by problems in vision or the internal ear

A

vertigo

22
Q

abnormal blind spots

A

scotoma

23
Q

a collection of inherited retinopathies; most common inherited abnormality. Visual receptors gradually deteriorate. Mutations change the structure of the visual pigments of membrane discs (i.e. rhodopsin)

A

retinitis pigmentosa (RP)

24
Q

night blindness; caused by dietary lack of vitamin A. Visual pigments are synthesized from vitamin A, & gradually decline.

A

nyctalopia

25
Q

uncontrollable eye movements while stationary which are normally associated with compensation for spinning/twirling.

A

nystagmus

26
Q

Nicotine

A

Affects nicotinic receptors on ALL CNS pre-ganglionic synapses, and sympathetic post-ganglionic synapses. Overall sympathomimetic

27
Q

Pilocarpine

A

Parasympathomimetic

binds muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Mimics ACh, enhances PNS effects.

Treats glaucoma by opening humor drainage pores

28
Q

Bethanechol

A

Parasympathomimetic

Affects: muscarinic cholinergic receptors; mimics ACH

Treats: Difficulty urinating (increases bladder contractions)

29
Q

Neostigmine

A

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

Binds to AChE to prevent degradation of ACh; prolongs affect of ACh

Treats: Myasthenia gravis (autoimmune disease that blockls ACh receptors)

30
Q

Sarin

A

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

Blocks AChE; prolongs effects of ACh

Chemical warfare agent

31
Q

Albuterol

(Ventolin)

A

Sympathomimetic

Binds B2 receptors to dilate bronchioles

32
Q

Phenylephrine

A

Sympathomimetic

Binds A1 receptors

Treats: Colds (Nasa decongestant)

33
Q

Propranolol

A

Sympatholytic

“beta blockers;” binds adrenergic B receptors to decrease HR and blood pressure
