Deck 2: Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
Atropine is a medication that helps keep the heart rate normal. When you overdose on atropine, its antidote is ______.
Physostigmine
During clinical use or after an overdose, cholinergic drugs may cause a ________.
Cholinergic crisis.
Isoproterenol increase heart rate. Isoproterenol exerts its effect on ____, ____.
Beta 1, Beta 2
It can cause an increase in blood pressure, tachycardia, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
Adrenergic agonists
One of the nursing processes of _____ is obtaining a baseline of respiratory status and heart rate.
Non-catecholamines
If the ________ ________ is nonselective, it may cause bronchoconstriction in your patient.
adrenergic antagonist
It causes smooth muscle relaxation.
Alpha blocker
Can do both direct-acting and indirect-acting means that he can enter receptor organs and increase norepinephrine production.
Mixed-acting sympathomimetics
It is given in an emergency. It contains a catechol ring and protein.
Catecholamines
It has the ability to affect or influence all receptors, including alpha 1, alpha 2, and beta 1, beta 2.
Non-selective
Ideal drug for reducing side effects
Selective
What enzyme is responsible for acetylcholine inactivation?
Acetylcholinesterase
It is step three of synaptic transmission process.
Release of neurotransmitter
The step five of synaptic transmission process.
Termination of transmitter
Three ways to termination of the transmission.
5a. Reuptake or absorbed back.
5b. Enzymatic degradation.
5c. Diffusion away.
Step one of synaptic transmission.
Synthesis of neurotransmitter.
The membrane receives a signal from the presynaptic cell and responds by depolarizing or hyperpolarizing.
Postsynaptic cell.
What medication should be used to raise blood pressure when someone’s blood pressure is extremely low?
Epinephrine
This medication is used to treat chronic open-angle glaucoma and other types of glaucoma.
Echothiophate
Step two of synaptic transmission process.
Storage.
