hypotensive states or shock,
bronchospasm, and some
types of asthma

Answer 12

ALPHA-ANDBETA-ADRENERGICAGONISTS

Question 13

When catecholamines combine with alpha adrenergic receptors or beta-adrenergic
receptors, they cause

Answer 13

excitatory or inhibitory effect

Question 14

catecholamines produce what effect that can cause the heart to beat faster?

Answer 14

chronotropic effect

Question 15

is used in low doses to improve
blood flow to the kidneys because it dilates
the renal blood vessels.

dopamine

Question 16

DRUGS UNDER ALPHA-SPECIFIC
ADRENERGIC AGONISTS?? CMP

Answer 16

❏ clonidine
❏ midodrine
❏ phenylephrine

Question 17

what is (MAOIs)

Answer 17

monoamine oxidase inhibitors

Question 18

Use to manage and treat bronchial spasm asthma, and other obstructive
pulmonary conditions???

Answer 18

Beta-Specific Adrenergic Agonists

Question 19

Usually indicated for treatment of
essential hypertension, orthostatic
hypotension, to ease opiate
withdrawal, cold and allergies, and
shock and shock-like states???

Answer 19

Alpha-Specific Adrenergic Agonists

Question 20

what drug do u use for shock and ventricular arrhythmias.
*Stimulate cardiac activity and conduction.

Answer 20

isoproterenol

Question 21

Are called sympatholytic drugs because they lyse, or
block, the effects of sympathetic nervous system

Answer 21

ADRENERGIC
BLOCKING
AGENTS

Question 22

what drug in NONSELECTIVE
ALPHA-ADRENERGIC
BLOCKINGAGENTS?

Answer 22

phentolamine

Question 23

These drugs do not block the presynaptic alpha2-receptor sites, the
reflex tachycardia that accompanies a fall in blood pressure does
not occur. They also block smooth muscle receptors in the prostate,
prostatic capsule, prostatic urethra, and urinary bladder neck, which
leads to a relaxation of the bladder and prostate and improved flow
of urine in male patients.

Answer 23

ALPHA1-SELECTIVE ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS
